I didn't realize we were in sync for the strand of hair bit. Glad that worked. I was pretty happy with how that scene turned out. Wasn't sure I'd be able to change the background fast enough for the teleporting.
And yes, I did the Stan Lee cameo and cut Thor's hair. But he looks good with it short! Even Bruce Banner said so. I had a little trouble with my camera in this scene because I couldn't see anything in those sunglasses. But it kind of worked with hearing the voice first and then the reveal of the barber.

Zooming the Movies is doing the extended edition of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey! I know you all may have mixed feelings about the Hobbit movies (as do I) but I'll take any opportunity to hang out in Middle-earth. I don't have a big part in this one but I'm playing a few characters throughout including Frodo, Bert the Troll, Lindir, and one of the goblins.
Part I - 6/7 at 7pm CST, Part II - 6/8 at 7m CST

Frodo and Bert! Sounds like fun! I'm trying to remember Lindir in the Hobbit. Probably in Rivendell?

He's played by Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords, who makes a cameo in this movie and in a couple scenes in the Lord of the Rings films.

Thanks for the link Freddie. I'll find some time this week to watch it! Kind of busy for me this week.
Who filled for Bombur? I think it was Bombur who needed a player.

It was Bofur that needed a replacement. I didn't know him. Actually, many of these actors are new to me. I think they may be friends of Michelle, the person who organized this (and is playing Bilbo). I discovered that Michelle also goes to DragonCon and dresses in Tolkien costumes. So she and I are going to meet in person at the con this year (DragonCon is hopefully happening, now that people are getting vaccinated).

Very impressed, Freddie. You were a great Frodo, Bert, and Lindir. Lots of expression and animation in your portrayals. Your costumes and props were great, too. The facial alteration program for Bombur was really good! Laughed at that.
Do you have any roles in Part 2?

But my roles in Part 2 are much smaller.

I think this 2 part Hobbit is one of the better productions from Zooming the Movies yet! The backgrounds didn't seem to infringe as much on the actors as they moved about (well, a little, but not like some of the other zoomings I've seen).
Very ingenious using an ornate pair of scissors for the morgul blade! You were such a gleeful goblin who has captured a nice hoard of dwarf trophies. And you sure sucked it up to The Great Goblin! LOL! You showed pure fear and loathing and shock when you saw Goblin cleaver! It looks like some of the dwarves didn't make it back for part 2, but that was okay, too many on screen makes it difficult to see everyone at once.

It would have been cool if you could have duplicated, tripled, quadrupled your goblinishness behind you somehow for the goblin hoard scenes. Loved your messy blond wig, but would have loved to see you in a skin head with those pointy ears! Lol!
