Let's do something special for Noodles for his birthday (Noodles, don't read this!)

[Tori OC]

So is it writing a message or record one? I got a PM that says "write" but now you're talking about recordings again..However, my suggestion is, if you're going with the recording idea, that everyone should say it in their own language, that's diversity! Or if we write, we could always make a fan video like the Rise Against fans did on their song "Make it stop". I was trying to find it but I couldn't, maybe someone knows which video I mean? It's a lot of clips of fans holding papers where they have written the lyrics to the song. But instead we could hold a paper that says "happy birthday!".

What's happening is, Melyssa wants to make this thing where lots of us all give her a clip of us each saying a happy birthday message to Noodles that she can put together so that Noodles can hear all the fans and put voices to names here on the BBS. I'm collecting birthday messages for Noodles that I'm going to put on a MS Paint picture and post it on the forums/send it to him on Twitter on his birthday. Melyssa is helping me gather the messages.

We are definitely making the written one and Tori is compiling that. I'm trying to get some people willing to do an audio one, as well. I also thought that people wishing Noodles happy birthday in their native tongue is a good idea, so that is completely okay. The video sounds interesting, but someone else would have to do the editing. What sorts of things would be in the fan video? I have not seen the other one you are talking about.

Just an idea ... Why not put an album together using powerpoint and add in the audio track. That way Noodles can read all his messages, whilst listen to his birthday wishes.

You know, kill two birds with one stone.

Yeah but I'd want to help with the power point... and I don't have any microsoft programs.

I used to have PowerPoint on my other computer and I even have experience making them for college projects. I forget whether my laptop has any such program.

My laptop has a Powerpoint knockoff. To be honest though, I think it would be better to just make one clip with all of our voices. As a lazy person, I don't really like having to click through Powerpoints -- a clip would require one click and then just sitting there.

I think what Blitz! meant was that you put all the messages on one slide and the audio clip once you've put them all together.

Guys, I really don't want to do a PowerPoint...

There is a free download on the internet, I just can't remember what it's called, however Jojan does know the name. Powerpoint is pretty easy to master, all you have to do is play with it. If you decide to go this route and get really stuck, just ask for help
