Video Shoot - "Nightsong", for the Blizzcon 2014 Talent Contest

Today we shot the video for our entry into the Blizzcon 2014 Talent Contest!

It was a crazy day. We finished sewing our costumes in the morning, did our hair and makeup in the afternoon, and shot the video tonight...in a thunderstorm!

The weather was cloudy when we started shooting but as the evening approached, so did a huge storm. Thanks to our awesome family for sticking it out with us (and risking their lives holding up umbrellas in the rain to shield the cameras).

Stay tuned for the video in a few weeks. :)

A couple of pics of us turning in our quest items (we went full out this year; notice our awesome elf ears?!):

 

 And one of us in the thunderstorm. It's bright because there was a big bolt of lightening as this pic was taken!

Commercial Shoot for Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience

Today was so much fun! The organizers for the Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience did a call for a commercial shoot. So we dressed up in our costumes from "Lament of the Highborne".

Why yes, we do have costumes and wigs in our closets for just such an occasion!

Voting Results for "Lament of the Higborne" Blizzcon Talent Contest 2013!

We just found out the results of the talent contest. We came in 4th place in the U.S. polls and 3rd place in the EU polls! So exciting!

Of course we would have liked to have won, but all of the talents were awesome and we're happy for the group who came in first. We had a lot of fun participating in the contest and stretching ourselves to do something we've never done before.

Thanks for a wonderful opportunity Blizzard! And thank you to all who voted. We appreciate your support and kind comments.

Last month at the Salt Lake City Comic Con 2013! 

Someday we'll save enough money to travel to, and attend, BlizzCon in California. 

In the meantime, to those who are going: take lots of pics to share with us! :)

Lament of the Highborne by GaleSong (Blizzcon 2013 Talent Contest)

Our entry for Blizzcon's 2013 Talent Contest.

We did the singing and made all the costumes and jewelry. Mom and Phillip (our friend) did the videography. Tanya put everything together and worked her magic to create the video.

Another Contest! Lament of the Highborne Talent Contest - Singing

Today we did a mini music video shoot. This one is for the Blizzard Talent Contest (our other video shoot is for the Blizzard Movie Contest). We did our own makeup, setup the cameras, and Mom and Phillip did the filming.

Here's a sneak peak of the pics; more to come tomorrow! 

 

GaleSong with Mom; she did most of the video while carrying Christina's baby girl in a sling. That takes talent folks!

Epic Adventure: The Big Reveal

We're having an incredible weekend filming "Lament of the Highborne"!!! It's a song from Blizzard's World of Warcraft online game. We recorded the song last March and have spent months preparing to shoot the music video.

Here's the story behind Natalie's character, Sylvanas Windrunner. It's quite sad. Her eldest sister, Alleria Windrunner, is played by Tanya; youngest sister Vereesa Windrunner is played by Tiffany. We made our own interpretation of the story and added the Mother Windrunner character, played by Christina.

Here's the link to the original song/video by Blizzard: Lament of the Highborne

We've got an amazing group of people here at the Cabin: Mom and Dad, Keith and Christina (and their 4 children), Tanya, Tiffany, Natalie, Samuel Gale-Hess (our sweet cousin), Michael Coones (our friend and awesome videographer/producer), Tiffanie and Alvaro Zilleruelo (Tiffanie is doing a fantastic job with our hair and makeup), and Doug (who made Natalie's stunning bow).

We plan to submit our music video to Blizzard (the company behind World of Warcraft). Wahoo!

Here are a few teasers of our favorite shots from this weekend. We'll post more next week.

Epic Adventure: Last Clue

Welcome to the Cabin! We have quite the group up here preparing for our big project.

Here's the last clue: our friend Tiffanie is doing Tiffany's makeup and Natalie (makeup finished) is brushing out her wig...
