Yes. And the whole thing would be backed up by looping videos. And looping music by one artist or another playing in the background during nearly the whole film. Oy vey! I got to go learn Windows Movie Maker! I already learned Youtube. But Imogen Heap has a new album coming out either late 2012 or any time in 2013. She has those Musical Gloves, which can control music, and I heard looping. And it was part of a live show! What if we got Tim Exile in this film? He's all over Youtube and Twitter; he should be easy to contact. Maybe we should get some non-liveloopers who use audio editing software for studio-looping, just for completeness; this is about all sample repetition. Maybe we should get Asianglow (a studio looper) on here. Or Lizzie, the Michigan-based blind looper, who is most likely the only blind looper besides me. So it only makes sense Lizzie and I work together. She and Amy X Newberg are the only female loopers I've ever heard from, as far as people who actually call themselves loopers; Imogen just uses it, Zoe Keating may be closer. (Want to hear Lizzie? Go to the June 2012 issue of the Looper's Delight archive and flip to the June 25th page).
