Huh? What? Why?! KHAN!
This started as an inside joke during period six lunch. A paperbag containing pumpkin pie from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
zarephathcs's basic food class was picked up by Z, who began to use it as a puppet. full_mental and zarephathcs declared that it should become a Fullmetal Alchemist puppet. After debate, a Scar puppet was created.
We decided to create short skits out of this using a digital camera provided by zarephathcs.
FAQs
Why do you guys laugh so much in the videos?
I'd like to see you try to do it with a straight face.
You don't sound like (Voice Actor Name Here)! You suck!
These are our own interpretations, sorry. We're ARTISTS and SPAZZY FANGIRLS Ed's sake. Only one guy is brave enough to voice act with us.
Who's In The Group? Who does What?
Meg (zarephathcs): Director, Camera nazi woman, Staff Writer, Only non-mustanger and only reason anything ever gets done
Lia (full_mental): Voice of Edward Erlic and Winry Rockbell, Staff Writer, Production Hostess, Puppet Maker, Possesor the muse in a cage (tm) and an overdose of spazz
Becca: Voice of Misc Fangirls, Puppet Maker, Staff Writer
Shroom: Voice of Alphonse Elric and Riza Hawkeye, Staff Writer
Tara: Voice of Misc Fangirls, Puppet Maker
Z: Voice of Scar, Gluttony and Kimblee, Staff Writer, Puppet Maker
Alex: Voice of Roy Mustang
Erin (stumpthegreat): Voice of Armstrong's Sparkles
Ash: Voice of Havoc and Misc Others, Puppet Maker
Kori: Voice of Envy and Cain
Camera...nazi?!
Meg has to yell at everyone to shut up on set constantly and not to abuse the puppets. And she gets pissed easily while filming, mostly because everyone seems to BS a lot more than they should be.
Where do you film?
We generally film atfull_mental's house, but we occasionally film in our local high school.
How many ARE there of you?!?
Um...*counts on fingers* Eleven... and thats all at this present time.
Where do you write the skits?
The term 'staff writer' is used losely, as Paperbag Alchemy is mostly an improv group. 'Staff Writer' refers to people who come up with ideas for skits. Normally these ideas like, "What would happen if...?" or "Hey! Let's do a skit about...". Nothing is scripted before hand. If anything, our actors breifly discuss what to do a moment or two before filming.
Where do you get your ideas?
If its not full_mental's muse-in-a-cage (tm) then they normally end up coming from way too much sugar, caffine and our own very twisted fangirl minds.
When will there be updates?
We generally film about one month's worth of footage in one day and then space out the videos over the course of the month. Usually 1-2 videos are posted. There is no specific day that videos are posted, but we generally try to go for once a week. (Depending on the month and circumstances, it may be more or less.) We adverstise new videos at![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
fm_alchemist. You can also add us to your livejournal friends list. It will feed right into your livejournal and you'll have the most up-to-date videos at your finger tips.
When do you break?
Usually we take breaks during holidays or when there is something extremely important going on, like finals for classes.
I be confused X...@!
Umm...sorry about that. In the future there'll proably be better sound quality, lighting and more zoomed in on the puppets, so that might help. We were also thinking of posting a script of what we're saying in each episode as well. (Although this is quite, er...tentative.)
If you have any comments, we'd love to hear em!
If you have any complaints, we'll probably ignore them! (Or use em in our next production.)
NOTE: So far, we admit to stealing crack from various people. And we will steal more. Well, perhaps not steal. We'd like to think of it as 'borrowing and adapting it to our own needs.' Okay. Just think of it as the highest compliment we can give you. We always credit. If you don't understand the references, we suggest you click these credited links.
