DESCRIPTION:
This is a video I made for She Went to Pick Flowers (http://loislane.bandcamp.com/track/she-went-to-pick-flowers) by Mara Levi (http://maralevi.com)

It was filmed during JoCo Cruise Crazy 3, on Coco Cay, St. Maarten, and the conference center (game room, for us) on board the Freedom of the Seas. While it's a little ironic to film a video for this song during a luxury cruise, we had all the appropriate scenery available and I really wanted to share the song and hopefully get Mara some more fans. If you like the song, please buy it from http://loislane.bandcamp.com/track/she-went-to-pick-flowers, other Mara Levi music from http://loislane.bandcamp.com, and check out her band The Pushovers: http://www.thepushoversband.com/

I got a lot of help from other Sea Monkeys (JoCo Cruise Crazy attendees) to make this, some of whom showed up and rescued the project right when I thought I'd never find the time or people or locations to pull it off. I didn't even get everyone's full names, so forgive me (and tell me how you'd like to be credited and if I should add a URL or something for you) if I don't credit you properly. I hope my amateur video editing does you justice.

Thanks to:

Mara Levi for writing the song and letting me make a video for it
Cass for being the star ('she') and for getting us to the beach
Lar DeSouza (http://www.lartist.com) for the origami and drawing
Tanya/sunnytana for the flauxers (http://www.flauxers.com) it's a good thing I bought these because I never had time to find actual flowers on the islands.
Adam/EightTons for selling 'you' the shore so cheaply
Robert/lostluck for the loan of the top hat
Jeff/Oboewan for ensuring I wasn't the only Mara Levi fan on board, and for letting me into the cabana area to film when I couldn't make it to the beach.
All the tenants (Tanya, Jeff, Curtis, Zander, and the people whose names I can't recall at the moment)
All the people you only saw the hands of who played 'you' (this was deliberately played by multiple people, because you could be anyone. I love songs in the second person.)
Everyone who said they would help and maybe waited for me on the beach on Coco Cay (when I was held up doing something else and didn't really make it) but didn't manage to meet up.
Everyone who gave ideas on the JoCo forums before the cruise
Jonathan Coulton and Paul and Storm for arranging such a great cruise and attracting such great people to it.
