The Jonathan Coulton Project

This week Jason from VidAWeek has a video for My Beige Bear. I know another one about toys!

Don't forget to visit Jasons site!

Another week another video from Jason over at VidAWeek.

This week we have Ikea.

Oh and Jason tells me that he will probably do more videos that the original 10 he planned...I guess he likes making awesome videos.

Jason Merin over at "Vid A Week" has made a fair number of videos for Jonathan Coulton songs, and here is the video from week 2, "When You Go", on your iPod (or other compatible device).

I recommend visiting the site if you enjoyed this video for behind the scenes details on how it was made and to see the other videos weeks before you'll see them here.

A few weeks ago I posted about the great videos that Jason Merin was making every week over at his blog "Vid A Week". Well I have got Jason to send me versions ready for you lucky guys to view on your iPhone and iPod. I still recommend viewing them at his website, but here is the video from week 1, Skullcrusher Mountain.

Last week I was contacted by a film maker who is making a series of music videos for Jonathan Coulton songs. His plan is to make one a week for ten weeks. I have just viewed the first 4, and they are awesome.

Just because he is making one video a week doesn't mean he is cutting corners on production values either, each video is very unique. So far there is a video with action figures, sock puppets, people in Ikea and a stop motion one. I for one can't wait to see the remaining 6. He is basically doing what I would have love to do, if I'd had the time and talent.

Also on the website is behind the scenes details on how the videos were made.

Jonathan played 6 of the new song from his upcoming studio album last week on Thursday and Friday, and some people got it on video and posted it on YouTube, here is one such playlist:

I'm still watching them for the first time for myself.

I have just got an email from the guys at Big Think. They have just published a video interview with Jonathan, and in response to one question, he expanded on something he announce a few weeks ago on his blog.

The question in question is here:

What’s next for you?

The time has come to celebrate Jonathan Coultons' birthday...again.
It is like it happens once a year!
This year some fans on the forums got together to sing and create a video. This is the result.
I'm in there!
The person editing the audio seems to have given me a prominent part in the edit. I didn't think I could sing....maybe the auto tuned me?

I set up a website for the Jonathan Coulton Adventures, and then ran out of time to make it look how I wanted, so you'll just need to deal with how it looks at the moment.

The adventure game is going to replace the JoCo Project...like I made videos anymore....I will probably post live videos at some point, like when he returns to the UK later this year...I mean when JoCo returns to the UK.

Also, I have turned on moderating of comments on the site, but I doubt I will bother. I just got fed up of all the WOW gold adverts, so it is 100% their fault, and anyone buying gold from them is as much to blame.

I have a plan to take the Jonathan Coulton Project in a new direction. It will mean buying a new domain name.

Online adventure game. Anyone out there who can help with any of the following contact me at jonathancoultonproject@gmail.com
I need help with the whole project, but the most useful would be:

• Story Writers (or just ideas)
• Graphics
• Voice Recording (anyone with a microphone and some time can do this)

Even if you don't know how you can help, if you would like to help, just email me, and I'll find something you can do, even if it is just someone to bounce ideas off.
