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!

Salt Lake City Comic Con FanXperience

Our whole family went to the Salt Lake City Comic Con FanXperience; it was a blast!

We received free tickets for doing the commercial shoot back in January. We loved listening to the panels (especially Patrick Stewart and Adam Baldwin), watching the StarCraft tournaments, hanging out with other geeks, and dressing up!

GaleSong made steampunk-inspired Disney Princess costumes.

Any excuse to dress up!

Join us for an Epic Adventure!!!

The past few months have been busy ones for us! We're working on something exciting. Something cool. Something, a bit, um, geeky even.

Over the next few days we'll post teaser pictures, with the big reveal next week!

Can you guess what we're doing?

Preparing to Record "One World" - Costume-Making

We listened to many different Celtic songs and went with Celtic Woman’s “One World” because it’s a very powerful song about people working together to create a better world for everyone.

We wanted ethereal costumes to reflect the mood of our song and found a pattern for Celtic/Medieval dresses that was simple, modest, and beautiful. The most difficult part of that process was finding different colors that we all liked and that looked nice altogether!

We bought the material and spent the weekend cutting out our patterns and watching movies together. Mom and Christina sewed our dresses this weekend because Mom has knee surgery scheduled for Tuesday.

Costume Ideas (we chose a pattern similar to the top left dress):

Creating GaleSong

Earlier this month, Mom was reading the news and came across an NBC page that talked about the “America’s Got Talent” auditions. She thought about us and wondered if we might be interested in trying out for something like this. We all agreed that it would be a wonderful opportunity for us to improve our singing and have fun spending time together as sisters.

We had our first official meeting today to decide: our goals, our dreams, which roles each of us would play in our group, the name of our group, which song we should record first, and what to do about costuming.

Originally, we wanted our group name to be “NightinGales” because it’s a play on our last name (Gale) and the songbird that sings at night (we love to stay up late!) We quickly discovered, however, that there was already a group with the name we liked so we decided on “GaleSong”; still a play on our last name, and the fact that we like music. 

A few of our costume ideas:
