A few weeks ago one of the video game fans on my Facebook page suggested I put out a Christmas video of Albert Wesker reading “Twas The Night Before Christmas.” The idea tickled me. It also had been awhile since I’d put out a Wesker -Fan-specific video.
Then, like I tend to do, I wanted to make it complicated. That’s when I went searching for an animator. I found the very talented Jonathan Wrathborne. I had seen his other “Resident Evil ” parodies and loved his style and sense of humor.
Sure, it would take Jonathan volunteering 30 hours or more to animate it, but that wasn’t complicated enough! So I changed it to an annoying Christmas song. Then I popped onto the Internet machine and asked Facebook fans to rewrite the lyrics. After three hours, I had all the ideas I needed to assemble a lovely homage to “Resident Evil” and it’s awesome fans.
For the music, I drafted my friends and long-time collaborators, Lily Popova and Abraham Peraza. (Please rent The Crooked Eye to hear their amazing score.) Lily had wanted to revisit rock’n’roll after our Palin-Bachmann Rock Opera , and this was the perfect opportunity.
Even though this video is just 4 minutes of silliness, please keep in mind several artists put in a lot of time to make you smile. (And what a lovely smile you have!) You can repay them by doing three things:
1. Visit their websites [The Animator, The Musician, The Actor].
2. Repost this video so it goes viral, and stumble/fark/reddit this page.
3. Check out Kiva.org and change the world.
