Congrats all and thanks for hosting the Eugene Ukulele Idiot Box Bonanza! It was fun to watch what everyone did and gave me a reason to learn and record a song.

Thanks!

well done everybody and looks like the Ken Timms is coming home to Ingerland.

I should probably take a break from contests here for a bit, have never worked so hard for a DVD.

Cheers,

Right on Dave, this contest makes us the hardest working losers in showbiz.
Do you serve Absinth- if so, my and the Pink Panther might be coming over for a few- we really need it and it's only a sixteen hour drive- and get us a guitar on the way in Nashville to get over the 4 strings of pain.

Cheers,
Christian

@TCK thanks I'm realy glad you enjoyed the video, my 'cast' had a lot of fun and laughs making it too. I hope everyone had as much fun making their videos as I did, a lot of work but worth it if it makes people smile :)
 
Thanks for all the kind words and congrats. When I saw Wolfy Bau's entry, I thought it was gonna win it for sure, so entertaining. It was so close at the end, 1 point in it :eek: I am a very lucky boy.
Thanks again to everyone involved, you're amazing.

lol thanks gee I realy didnt expect to score too high, I guess when its your own stuff its easy to be critical because you intimately know and reflect on all your mistakes. But its a good learning process.

the Munsters one realy was a run for the money too, the uke bass is too cool. and th ending was hilarious. that one so early on realy set the barr high for the whole contest!
but there were so many good ones each one with its own special stuff, sheesh like apples and oranges, so hard to choose.

it was realy nice to see all the first time videos congrats to those who felt inspired so inspired :)

I also think it goes to show, while some of us use some fancy little video tricks and what not, there is a lot you can do with just a few props, costumes and a little emagination. some of the best professional music videos and movies are done this way too. thats what i love out our 3rd place winner, simply a microphone with a single light for most of the video, but it so fit the way they were used, sparce and atomopheric, and with the performance = brilliance.
 
Video killed the Ukulele star

Wolfy, you Certainly have a point, it was still a bit video killed the radio star 80s MTV syndrome again, but then again the theme was TV.
