Once again, the community impresses. By the Fool.

Talk about a long day. We must have shot the new BBB movie for four straight hours yesterday, and then some. And the poor suckers in BBB didn't complain once. It was impressive. They went here, and went there, and put on this costume, and took off that one, and jumped and yelled and laughed on cue, and kept on going and going and going...

The BBB energiser bunny. Beor would be the energiser goat, maybe.

I tell you, there's a lot of very talented, and very nice, people in BBB. Of course, there's many more hours of filming left, but sufficient unto another day is the evil thereof.

But what's even more impressive is the cooperation we got from the creeps when we filmed in the Moors. Anarwald hopped on his warg and organised a group of around 15 uglies to come and chew on BBB. Oh yeah. Wonderful stuff. And even all those wargs and goblins and spiders hopped this way, and jumped that way, and did just what they were told, when they were told. And only ate BBB once, and that was when they were allowed to.

So, many thanks to:

Really impressive. I can't say this enough. I defy any other game to get a bunch of PvP aficionados to behave that well. But there really is something about LOTRO that attracts nice people. Can't be the bobbits. I wonder what it is.

This next BBB movie is the most ambitious yet, and I'm not entirely sure how well it's going to work. It includes real voices, for one, and that make it both more difficult to record and organise, and a lot more difficult to structure. It's a challenge, that's for sure. If I actually knew anything about film-making it would be easier, but I don't, so it isn't. I know about music, not films. Still, it's all fun.
