We had a lot of fun making this vid, but a huge amount of problems outputting it. We need to thank both killabeez and z_rayne for their help. (Killa went to extra lengths for us to get the Escapade copy to work, and Zoe ripped the copy from the Escapade DVD and is hosting it on her site, so we don't have to worry about bandwidth.)

In addition, extra thanks to elynross, rosawestphalen, and melina123 for betaing, yet more help, and emotional support.

You can also download the vid via our Clucking Belles Vid Site, plus some of the other vids that we've done.

Feedback of any sort is always appreciated. But please, no public links without permission.

Wow, I just dled and watched it and what can I say...

I loved it. Absolutely one of the best McKay vids *ever* plus the song and how you just made it all work so flawlessly together.

His coffee. How desperate everyone arond him looks. It's just so damn McKay its freaky.

Going back to watching it again.

I heard the song years ago, but there was never a fandom that fit it, no matter how hard I tried. Now I know that song was just hanging out, waiting for McKay. *g*

Thanks!

!!!!

Rodney and his *coffee*. And his hand gestures!

*Sharks*... :snerk:

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you. (And that is a great icon!)

[logovo.livejournal.com]

OMG!!! It's here, it's here!
*pimps*

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I know! I thought we would never be able to get the vid posted, but then I was talking with Zoe at the con, and she was able to help us out. So, yay! it's posted, and that is much happiness.

[geekturnedvamp.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting this--I saw it on the Escapade DVD and have been dying to watch it again because, SO MUCH LOVE!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Zoe really pulled through for us in getting this posted. If she hadn't been able to rip from the DVD, it may have been another six months or so before we got around to it, if ever. She's great.

Hi.

Can we talk about how you're now my favorite people ever? How you've made the best Rodney vid I've ever seen, to one of my favorite songs, and had it work just swimmingly? Because you definitely did. Oh, did you ever. This is - this had me yelling in delight and dancing around the room. It's hysterical and fantastic and amazing and oh, oh, yes.

I didn't think ahead, about they lyrics of the song, and so when it got to the 'little tiny island, in the middle of the ocean', I was pretty much crying with laughter. Oh, this is so excellent. It's going in my folder of marvelous vids to watch and re-watch. Thank you so much for making it!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Cool! It really is a case of the right song for the right character; I had the song on my mental 'to-vid' list for years, and I just never found the right fandom for it -- and then Rodney came along. *g* Thanks!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

Heh. This was great! :-)

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Another amazing video!
This was awesome, and hilarious! There had to be a perfect Rodney song out there and this is it. God, I practically chocked on the coffee verse.
Honestly wonderful.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I was kind of afraid to tell anyone what song we were working on when we started it, as we are such slow vidders I was sure it would be months before we finished it, and by then it would be out in the fannish unconscious and someone would be us to it. *g* Thanks!

[grey853.livejournal.com]

This is a great vid. It really sums up so much about Rodney in action. It's amazing he hasn't had a stroke yet. *g* There are tons of Rodney vids, but his is one of the best I've seen. I hope to see more. I know, I know, greedy person, but I really liked it.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

It really is amazing he hasn't had a stroke. Yet I bet his blood pressure is doing better, with all the exercise he gets running for his life. *g* As far as more in the future goes, we'll just have to see. We're really slow vidder, only doing a couple of vids a year (for cons, mostly), so we probably won't have anything new up until summer.

*LOVE*

This songs seems to have been written for Rodney, isn't it? It's great, I love it mucho grande!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Yes! Rodney totally pwns this song. (Or maybe the song totally pwns him.) Thanks!

[sherrold.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for asking Zoe to rip it for us! Genius, I say, genius. I've mirrored your announcement for the 7 people on my flist that aren't on yours, and I'll let you know what I hear.

Yay, it's up, and only a month late!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I noticed that you smoothed out the wording in your version, so I'm using that. *g* Yay for only one month late!

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

:D! Just a short comment because I have to go rewatch this thing right now. It's perfect!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! I'm glad you liked it. You should go watch it again. *g* Thanks!

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

updated the escapade vid links with this.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[tarlanx]

Loved the vid! Loved how you captured all those stress and coffee moments so perfectly :-)

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I think we used every coffee shot in the show so far, and then some. I hope that next year they keep up with the theme, and give us a few more coffee eps. Thanks!

[harriet-spy.livejournal.com]

I saw this vid at a party and enjoyed it quite a bit!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you got to see it on a bigger screen, and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!

[coreopsis.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that was great. So funny and so Rodney. *g*

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Rodney is so incredibly fun to play with. Can you tell how much time we spent looking at 'hand porn'? *g* Thanks!

[eisakay.livejournal.com]

Ha! oh man, I loved that.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[panisdead.livejournal.com]

Oh dear lord, that was fun.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Yay. Thanks!

[astolat]

I love this vid THIS much *makes gleeful Rodney-appropriate arms-flung-wide gestures* Just makes me endlessly happy.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Hee! Rodney is just so expressive, isn't he? I love him all hyped up and running around like a crazy mad thing. Thanks!

[chicksrus.livejournal.com]

OMG! I LOVE it! This is the best McKay vid ever! The song choice is fabulous, the vid work is better. It fits, and this is my Rodney.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

We really lucked out in finding that song. Thanks!

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is fantastic! I really needed a laugh today, too.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

It's a very silly vid. *g* Thanks!

[janet-carter.livejournal.com]

OMG Jim Infantino yay! I've loved this song since freshman year of college, and it's so perfect for a Rodney vid; I can't wait to get home and dl.

[janet-carter.livejournal.com]

OK, now I've seen it, and it was even better than I expected; I hadn't thought up to the island and the wildlife! I love Rodney so much right now. Also coffee.

[souliesoul.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's great :D

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[sweetvalleyslut.livejournal.com]

God, that was great. I cracked up through the whole thing.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Rodney's just really great to work with. *g*

[slashbluegreen.livejournal.com]

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it.

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

That was brilliant.
