Aw... I'm delighted in your response, Tereza. Funny you ask about the number of takes... Sara and I worked on each segment until we had decent footage on that segment, then we got to the end and I thought, okay, we're done! But she suggested we do one more non-stop run-through, all the way through in one take -- so that's what we did.

THEN, when I went through the footage later that day, I found that almost NONE of the individual takes had recorded... so all Tonika had to work with was the run-through!😂 So the answer, in a fashion, is yes!
Thank you for the high praise, esp. my ability to portray a Karen. She came quite naturally, which should probably frighten me!
Great question re: having it seen by millions... I've decided recently to turn over a new leaf in that department. So if you have any ideas for me, I'm totally open!
Deep gratitude for all your enthusiasm, dear Tereza!! xox
I think Spirit had a hand (a zephyr?) in the missing footage. There's a flow to one take-- even if the breaks are off-camera, it changes the momentum. You're alert and animated but also relaxed. Knowing that you were essentially done, and just doing one more for fun, seems like it might have added to that. I'd get so nervous about being halfway without a mistake that I'd fumble it just to get it over with. But you have both the 'show must go on' performance experience and the memorization! That alone floors me.
Yes, the head band, neck scarf, high collar white shirt--I'd hire you as the POTUS apologist anyday. You're the perfect simpering sycophant.
But let's turn to Tonika. How long did you work on this? The talking TV head, the images, montages, special effects, humor ... Loved the cartoon footage. Every part of this is so perfect, so alive and embellished with that Tonika touch.
I'm actually back to 2 strikes away from being cancelled--they did term out my first strike. I'd be happy to put it up there but it's not a lot of exposure. Do either of you have a ewwwTube (as Pasheen would say)? I find that it's only the titles and descriptions that get picked up by the censors, I think this will fly under their radar. It really deserves a wiiiiide audience.
I agree... the last take was far and away the best. I'm embarrassed to say the wardrobe came from my own closet...🙄!
Thanks for offering to post it on YT! I'm in the process of building out a channel for myself -- right now it just has my old commercials reel and a vid I made years ago about ImproviDance. Time for a re-imagining, for sure. xox
What a stupendous video to launch your channel with. As an aside I was thinking about the side gigs for ImproviDance--IndepenDance. CoinciDance. ImpruDance.
Now you have me thinking about CoinkyDance. I'm not on Insta but I love your title of twinkiville. My middle daughter Olivia calls the youngest (your spiritual doppelganger) Twink, all slang connotations intentional.
'Only' 1500 subs. I'm crawling my way up to 1200, one cantankerous old coot at a time--that seems to be my specialty. It takes one to know one.
Well, I had some downtime in Tijuana so I got a few projects in various state of completion. And I do have YT. I've been demonetized and I only have like 1500 subscribers, but I can certainly put it up there and link to your stack, Mary. Oh, rumble and Bitchute too. I can hit up different platforms. i should have done that earlier. Totally spaced.

THOSE ARE GENIUS!!!
Speaking of CoiniDance, I have to share this video I found on my phone when one of the twins was young and I'd find these strange lip-synching videos (before I knew what the heck TikTok was): https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHfPpFAki5-vZ8zAtfUnq1J6wg3sTl7LV2mrU0/
