We will Launch to the Millions on May 4th!

In just a few short days, we were able to gain the minimum amount of Thunderclap supporters! We're now at 124 and still growing. I'm hoping we can get to 200 by May 4th! Might be a little out of reach but there's no harm in trying your best to achieve the impossible. I'm really pumped because, after seeing my efforts to gain supporters through social media, some of my friends and acquaintances that work for blogs and other news sources have offered to cover our launch, which will surely help us attract more viewers. Fingers crossed, I think we have a fighting chance of getting the viewership this parody video deserves!

Hey, do any of you out there want to be among the first to see the video when it launches May 4th? It's easy! Only a few clicks to sign up, support me, and be one of the first!

We wrapped production and will launch May 4th!

We did it! We completed all three shoot days for our Star Wars parody music video. We weren't going to share the name until launching but since we started a Thunderclap campaign that highlights a lot of the details, I guess the cat's out of the bag.

Our video "I Still Haven't Found the Droids I'm Looking For" will launch May 4th at 10am. In case you're wondering what a Thunderclap campaign is, read on!

According to their website, Thunderclap "is a tool that lets a message be heard when you and your friends say it together. Think of it as an "online flash mob." Join a Thunderclap, and you and others will share the same message at the same time, spreading an idea through Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr that cannot be ignored." 

So we made a campaign profile and it's now live. We need at least 100 people to sign up so that our message can be launched into the networks of everyone who signs up. Only 24 hours into our campaign and we're already almost halfway there.

Though the minimum is 100, we're hoping to go well beyond this number. The more supporters we have, the better our chance for a viral video (which is the goal).

SHELLY SNELLMAN IS BUSY!

So the truth is I might be in a little over my head. To quickly catch up all my AVID followers, here's what's been happening. In the past few months, I graduated from two more UCB classes, Improv 201 and 301. I had the pleasure of learning from the great Billy Merritt for 201 and I'm going to do my dangdest to grab a spot in one of his upcoming 401 classes. Guys, I love UCB so much. And I just really want to kick ass so bad.  (On a way sidenote, that last sentence there is a UCB Amy Poehler quote that is somehow so obscure that I couldn't even find a meme for it; just one lousy picture from the same scene. Ridiculous. See below.)

"I want to kick ass so bad"
I want to move forward with the classes but, like an idiot, I enrolled in a graduate program at USC. Everyone, including myself, thinks I'm crazy, but I'll save that rant for a different day. The point is, I can't do everything at once but I sure am trying (hence the busyness)

Ok back on track. My hubby Jason and I are currently in production on a Star Wars parody video. I can't share too much about it at this point but here's a sneak peak to sauce your cookies.

The star of our story, rocking out on stage.
And his captive audience
We have two more shoot dates (one in the sand dunes of Death Valley) and we hope to release on May 4th, which has become the unofficial Star Wars Day. I'm super proud of the work Jason and I have done so far. I can't wait to share it with all 2 of my loyal readers! STAY TUNED!

Lastly, Jason Snellman and I have started a YouTube channel in which we'll release the parody video and a lot of other things that are currently in the works. For now, we've flooded the page with really short videos from our travels and our daily lives. Our hope is to have a track of impromptu videos like these to make you laugh and another track of produced content to make you Think. Haha Jk. Those will also make you laugh. ....think.... that's funny. If we succeed, please subscribe! I have a perhaps unattainable goal to reach 100 by the end of February! Check out SnellyVision and subscribe!
