A Magnetic Ghosts Production

The kids taunted me all day yesterday with the surprise and secret thing they did with Dad on Monday.  I have learned not to push them for details.  It is more fun just to wait for it.

Here is Noah and Greta's film debut, shot and edited while the baby sister slept.  The working title was Star Wars VII.  The plot, in case it isn't obvious, is a light saber duel between Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi.  I won't ruin the ending for you, but I'll say that Noah is pretty proud of his acting skillz.  The extras for the DVD version will include the stories about how Greta/Vader stood perfectly still in the field rather than running toward Obi Wan to do battle because she was afraid of bees.  She understands that it is winter and all the bees are dead or asleep.  But still.  Bees.  You just never know.
    
My husband is so fun.



In honor of the film premiere, some of us have been given new middle names.
     Noah "Ewok" - Obi Wan Kenobi
     Greta "Leia" - Darth Vader
     Howl "Skywalker" - Key Grip
     Pete "Vader" - Hair & Makeup
     Magda "The Hut"- Executive Producer
     Kevin "3PO" - Screenplay, Director, Music Supervisor

"And when we were done, I ate hot dogs.  Two of them." - Noah
