Oh friends, do I have a tale for you. You see, one day Mon Cher (the little Pie Girl from the videos) and the Mad Hatter (of the clay variety) were chatting. They decided that they wanted to do something extra wonderful, for their little video productions…
You see, their camera that took video, kicked the bucket last week. So, Mon Cher did tons of research about digital video recorders, until her brain almost exploded.
Then, Mon Cher and The Mad Hatter made the grandest decision. Let's make videos in HD!! they exclaimed… (okay, it was all Mon Cher's idea, but who cares 😉 really)
They were both so excited, so they broke their giant clay piggie bank, and counted all their loot. And then, armed with loot and oodles of information, Mon Cher went to, dun dun dun…
Best Buy. (although she normally bought on line, she needed a human to answer some questions)
Mon Cher knew exactly what she wanted, and knew all the questions to ask. And ask she did, to a nice young sales associate who was funny and patient. He pointed her to just the camera she needed…
Can I make videos with this camera, using my video program…?
Can I make videos right away?
Is this the best product, and why?
Can we compare it to the other 80 cameras you have in stock, because this is more than I was prepared to spend…
Her questions went on and on….
Finally, Mon Cher was convinced. She went home with a fancy product, excited to share A Fanciful Twist videos in super crisp HD quality. YAY!
So, Mon Cher and The Mad Hatter prepared…
But then, there was a twist in the plot of this tale. All the answers she received "yes" to when she bought the video camera, were actually, not Yeses at all.
HD was not compatible, with almost all video making programs, especially not the one she had (as she later found out). And, she would need a video converter to even be able to edit a video in her computer. Which she spent two days in agony, learning about.
Oh, and once you convert your video so that you can edit it, don't panic, but all your videos will be upside down (and not in HD quality at all). But if you learn how to do a headstand, 50% of your problems will be fixed… Phew, thank heavens 😉
Oh oh, and if you really want to make videos with this camera, you will need 10 gnomes, a partridge in a pear tree, and a talking Monkey.
But some how, that little Mon Cher muscled through it.
Although, her video persona may have paid the price 😉
The fruit of 4 days of, well, netherworld learning curves, and no HD quality to speak of (sniffle), brings the most…
Silliest frazzled little video in the wooooooorld.
Just for you 😉
(with outtakes at the end)
I hope you still like us 😉
See you ever so soooooooon!
🖤,V

Thank you soooo much for sharing this video today, Vanessa. Boy oh boy did I need a good laugh. You and Mr. Lovee sure know how to cheer a gal up!! I’ve spent all morning crying over some terrible image theft that occured on my blog this morning. I’m just heartbroken because the images were unique to my work.
Thanks so much for cheering me up!

You two are completely Mad and silly, and I love it!
Thanks for sharing your silliness.
Ha, You guys crack me up!
Can’t wait for more.
Take care,
Tracy M.
You conquered the video nightmares and are well on your way to the oscars I should think! Truly silly!

XOXO
Oh my…so much fun..So glad you are sharing. Makes me smile. Very creative work. Love it.
Mon Cher: “I think I’m in a funky mood”
Mad Hatter: “You ain’t kiddin”
Haha. You two weren’t lame. Funny, yes. ‘;)
Yay internet. Yay video’s.
I just love your posts! But I must say, I would never, ever, ever purchase anything from the evil place known as Best Buy. They’ve lied to me one too many times! 🙂

I like you even more- hahahaha!
Except, except…Mr. Teal Boots is BOY GEORGE? No freakin way!
Ok maybe he’s a cross between Boy George and Steven Tyler and Tom Petty and…and….what Hall and Oates would look like if they morphed into the same dude!
:p
You go guys are crazy. Endearingly adorable bona fide grade certifiable nut jobs.
(I wanna play!)
What a gift that you two found each other: BFF’s and playmates for life. (and that you share the fun with us!)
It’s comforting to know that such playful love is possible in this stressed out and serious world we live in.
I thought the vid was so funny and cute and I look forward to more! Yay!
BOY GEORGE ROFLMAO! My hubby stepped out of the shower to tell me to tone down my laughing, that you could hear it across the field. Even though it wasn’t as HD and techy as you wanted. I loved it! Keeping rocking the silliness.
Jessica
We will always like you… Just like a good friend who knows all your faults and likes you anyway! LOL part when Mr. Hatter was echoing inferno in your song ;)) Tami
What cute couples–Mon Cher and Mad Hatter and most certainly Vanessa and Mr. Lovee! Great to hear your voices and the fun interaction. Gave me a smile.
Greetings,
I just found your blog…and have enjoyed looking at all your old posts… very fun, the style…everything, is awesome. Thanks for doing this!
Have a very lovely day,
Brielle
Love it to Pieces V 😉 Mon Cher is a gem, tee hee…and that Mad Hatter, oh boy…what are we gonna do with him? 😉
Jamie 🙂
You are a silly little peach, aren’t you?! Thank you for that, my lovely. I needed a laugh. And another reason to say to Brian, “See? So and so does such and such a thing. Why don’t you!?”
Well…my dear Miss Vanessa…I was laughing so hard I was snorting! You know the kind of snort that Drew Barrymore makes…You and the Mister are definitely Mad as Hatters. It was a lovely, silly, video. I adored the background music. And the stage you used is so magical. I love marionettes and puppets, and of course your lovely clay dolls made the entire video come to life. (Remind me never to buy anything from Best Buy, though). I would have been pulling my hair out with that much aggravation and hassle to make a video!
Aaaaa!
You did just make my evening…I needed a little bit of craziness…to prepare me for the Mad Tea Party. Might as well begin early being crazy…
Tea and crumpets, anyone?
The Cheshire Cat says hello =^..^=
First, before I see your video, I have to say, I don’t go to Best Buy anymore because of that for the big purchases. I know each person is different and some more knowledgable than others, so it is not really Best Buy or all their personnel, it is that here Staples won’t let you leave without asking all those questions, making sure you have what you need, for less. etc. I think it might just be that I lucked out with the guy that helps us, but, you never know. Off to the fun. Love when you do vids. Blessings.
You guys are nuts in the best, sweet and crunchy way!!! Have a great day! Blessings and light, Amy
You made me laugh.
So funny and cute!! I was laughing so hard at that monkey!!
So funny 🙂
I wish you were my neighbor so we could have talked HD before you went to Best Buy!
Oh Vanessa,
You and the Mister are just so adorable!!! I love you guys! 🙂
Hugs,
Dena
You two are so silly, and I mean that in the best way 🙂

hahhaah you are so crazy!
I was reminded of playing with my barbies with my friends and then doing completely idiotic things when we got bored of the more ‘serious’ barbie playing. 😀
Yes that was silly and I loved it. Put a nice big smile on my face. And reminded me that we are going to have so much fun at the Tea Party coming up! Yahoo!!
Hugging the both of you
