BEHIND THE SCENES OF SHY YETI GOES WILD - TWO!!Hello folks and folkettes!
This week I'm posting a few photos from behind the scenes on the one of the episodes I was busy working on during my week off at the end of May and early June. These photos will make up the episodes SHY YETI GOES WILD 2 which is also now ready to view - so before we go any further, here are all the links that you need to know and a bit about the new film:
Youtube: http://youtu.be/cE3HYQ5_Mlg
Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/45116718
Please note: The Vimeo version of this film is a slightly under ten minute edit compared to the original which is almost 15 minutes, however it retains all the poems and yeti dancing, losing only some of the views, some out-takes and a small percentage of the additional silliness... involving a werewolf! Ahem.
Over the next few weeks we'll also be looking at some of what you can expect from my forthcoming Summer holiday - which, I can assure you will definitely involve the recording of some new SHY YETI ON LOCATION episodes for late Summer / early Autumn, not to mention an opportunity to edit the 2nd of 2011's two "lost" episodes...
Anyway, here's that poem as promised - a live version appears last up in my recent INTERWEB/BLOG BONANZA show video: http://youtu.be/3RwIHwomio4 I still consider this version still a draft version - as until the book is published I reserve the right to change any element of the piece that I fancy! (But in this case I probably won't!)
More soon - yeti hugs,
Paul xx
British Summertime is here!
The wind is in the
trees…
There’s mist upon the
ocean –
And there’s raindrops
in the breeze!
The ducks have their
umbrellas out –
The swans are swanning
off…
All the scarecrows
have pneumonia –
Or at least a nagging
cough!
There’s a chance of
sleet, this evening…
So, you’ll need to
wear a coat!
There’s a flood
forecast for Friday…
So, I’d buy yourself a
boat!
Summertime’s hard to predict –
Summertime’s hard to predict –
What weather
may arise?
Any chance of
warmth, unlikely.
But could we
cope with that surprise?
British Summertime is here!
British Summertime is here!
The grass is frozen
solid…
The birds are skating
on the ice –
But they are looking
slightly squalid…
All the garden gnomes
are striking –
They’ll emigrate to
cosy climes –
All the gold fish look
so glum…
They’re harking back
to finer times…
To days when Summer
holidays –
Guaranteed a little
fun;
And lotion was applied
–
To give protection
from the sun…
Now Summertime’s hard to predict –
Now Summertime’s hard to predict –
What weather
be occurring?
If the clouds
begin to swirl;
Then a
tsunami may be stirring!
British Summertime is here!
British Summertime is here!
But so is hail and thunder…
Fish and chips and
mushy peas –
Bus-stops to shelter
under…
The puddles grow, the
tourists scream –
Their sunhats have
gone floppy!
Down on the farm,
knee-deep in mud.
Even the pigs are
getting stroppy!
Those on the beach got
washed away –
And floated out to
sea…
They lost all their
belongings –
And the gulls ate
their cream tea!
Summertime’s just a non-starter…
Summertime’s just a non-starter…
Will the
weather find its feet?
You’re gonna
have to wait ‘til Winter…
To earn
yourselves a little heat!
British summertime is here…
British summertime is here…
There’s a blizzard
round the corner…
We are not too keen
about it –
And nor’s the flora
and the fauna!
We’d just like a
little sunshine –
Just to have a little
bask…
Just to get ourselves
a tan!
I mean, is it much too
much to ask…
For the rain to just
stop falling?
For the fog to just
dissolve?
Why can’t the weather
get it right,
For once?
Why can’t the seasons
just evolve!?
Summertime’s quite hard to gauge…
Summertime’s quite hard to gauge…
Just get out
there, don’t delay!?
You’re either
hot or freezing cold…
Have a happy
holiday!!
