Orlando Video

Jessica Earley is a fairly recent Orlando transplant. I first saw her work during a Puppet Slam at the Orlando Puppet Festival.

Jessica then went on to perform several pieces with a Mr. Brian Feldman, of wide renown in Orlando for his outdoor, public, time-based performance art. I also saw Jessica’s piece titled “I want your sympathy” at the Orlando Museum of Art’s First Thursdays, and I participated in her outdoor gallery event , “Blunder Bungle”, held at the aptly named “Museum of my Neighbor’s Backyard”.

Jessica also caught my attention when she signed up for twitter for exactly one day. Then, the 10,000th day she was alive, she paraded from her home to local hangout Stardust Video & Coffee in a parade of one, which was 10,000 steps long.

This video seems to be starring Jessica, though I don’t know who shot and edited the piece. The YouTube page for the piece says it’s a music video for a Chicago-based artist named Maigin Blank.

You can check out my full post about Orlando Puppet Festival over at BloggingFringe.com, but here’s the short version:

This weekend, a parade of puppeteers will precipitate through downtown in an un-pompous display of consonance…. or they’ll just knock your socks off with some kickass puppeteering. This isn’t the stuff your nieces and nephews are watching on Nickelodeon, we’re talking real theatre with one of the oldest art forms in the world as the showcase.

I recently discovered the MurderWatch Mystery Dinner Theatre while reading the only Orlando tourism blog I can stomach, The Other Orlando. MurderWatch is in the Grosvenor Resort in Dr. Phillips area (or it used to be? check the Other Orlando post for that), and has… well… just watch the video! They appear to have everything for everyone. Perhaps my favorite part was about 2 minutes into the video, when we learn that on top of all the other promises they’re making, it’s also a musical!

This is a very interesting ad, but they could have hired someone with a camera that was manufactured after 1982, and then a video editor who knows how to cut things down to one minute or less. There was too much copy and too much footage for one commercial here. I would have even accepted two commercials, but if you can’t sell them with the first video, you need to start again.

If you disagree, or want to comment, please share with us. If you have a video of your own to share (or tear apart), please send a web link to < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >. Question: Would you like to be able to post your own videos and reviews to this revlog warehouse? Inquiring minds want to know.
