Shiver said he will collect the videos and music CD first thing tomorrow morning, and hopefully have it uploaded later that day Very Happy

Oooooh, a tease! It's like a trailer

"Coming soon, to a computer near you, a drama remeniscent of Gone with the Wind, starring GW as the bumbling entrepeneur, Brandie as the hot to trot seductrix, with the participation of the Nigerian Village People, and now, a re-enactment of Dirty Harry, by the same people who bought you "YMCA (the African version"). With a cast of dozens, set in exotic locations, all revolving around one small time crook who dreams of being a big time producer, and having his small time willy expanded, BIG TIME, this is the event you will not want to miss! Available exclusively at fore juan nein Eater!"

This is going to be fun! Very Happy

How much money has this lad spent on banners, videos, and Fedex charges by now? It has to be a small fortune. Twisted Evil

@ Juan, not sure of the full costs yet mate, I will quote a previous post I made quite a while ago:

Quote:

A few people have asked me how much the lad has spent so far, well, I have no idea how much it has cost him for the printers and the silk for the banners, silk can't be that cheap even in Nigeria, can it? Although he did say the previous silk steelers banner, plus the were not cheap and he put the customs value at $120, he will no doubt have had to pay his friend in the police force for the beret as well

Then there is the recording studios which he had to pay for at least twice (now 3 times), plus the CD's and the videos etc, all I can confirm is that his shipping costs alone, so far, amounts to, 29,484 Nigerian Naira = £182.01 = €268.13 = $360.59. Right near the end of the bait, I will ask the lad for a full itemised bill of all his outlays so that I can repay him those costs, I don't want him thinking about it at the moment Wink

This new video and CD will cost the same as the first video and CD he sent, which was 7644 Naira = £30.04 = $61.03 = €43.04, giving us a grand total for shipping costs alone to £212.05 = €311.17 = $421.62 and that does not include the new Volkswagen banner he had made, I have a good mind to ask him to send that to the UK as well Laughing

He thinks he is going to the US on October 4th, but he has not yet given GWB the updated choir list, when GWB gets that, he will say the visas and will be ready in about 3-4 weeks, which is well past the date that the producer wants him there Twisted Evil

, I will ask him for a fully itemised bill once he replies.

[edit]

Those figures are incorrect, I didn't include the last banner he sent, at that time it was:

Quote:

Here is the shipping receipt, it cost him N10,934 Naira to send this one = $85.76 = £43.03 = €63.99, that brings his total shipping charges so far to: N40,418 Naira = £225,04 = €332,12 = $446,35

So the total for shipping charges only, is:

N48,062 Naira = £255,08 = €375.16 = $507.38

Just to let you guys know I have the Video and CD in my hands now. I'll convert the video tape to an Internet friendly version later this evening. I have just converted the CD audio track to MP3 and given the link to SP who will shortly publish it I'm sure. You're in for a treat; the song is great Smile

I haven't had chance to look at the video tape yet as I only got my hands on it about 4 minutes ago and I have to drag the video VCR from my son's room later.

Good Job!

I hope he didn't pay the producer any money, the playback is plainly awful and was obviously done between tea and dinner.

Fortunately he will be able to work with Luther soon. Or will he? Laughing

OK. I just saw the video! GREAT JOB! I'll upload the unedited footage very shortly so you can all get to see it. I'll then re-edit it together in the next day or so to make it prettier to look at.

Give me about an hour to convert the video tape and I'll be back Smile

you're not giving much away, Shiv, were the vids good quality and the content good?

Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 8:23 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Laughing

And this guy really believes he has enough talent to make it as a big star??? Man, he's deluded!

Great job, SP! Laughing

Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 8:38 pm

Hahahahahahaa! BRILLIANT! I like it, but I still think that YMCA (African version) is sthe best. This is still fantastic!

419Eater Admin Joined: 30 Sep 2003 Posts: 7469

Quality is pretty good SP. It's a little bit hissy in parts, but on the whole he's done a really good job, especially on the bus hijack scene!

I'm just re-encoding now, and should be ready to upload in a few minutes.

Baiting Guru Joined: 08 Jul 2004 Posts: 11857 Location: UK

Sweet as, can't wait to see the hijack scene Twisted Evil

419Eater Admin Joined: 30 Sep 2003 Posts: 7469

I'm uploading it as I write. I'll put up two versions. A high res downloadable version (34 meg WMV) and a YouTube version for those who might have problems playing it.

By the way, don't blame me for him not lip-syncing to the tune properly, it's his fault. In the final edit I will dub the CD audio version and sync it properly Smile

Download link will appear here in approx 6 minutes Smile

419Eater Admin Joined: 30 Sep 2003 Posts: 7469

OK. Download link is here: EASTWOOD It's a zipped WMV file.

YouTube link will appear once it has processed.

, didn't reckon much to the video, apart from seeing some of the Lagos street life, good to see, but he nailed the hijack scene, excellent Laughing
