Hey Oz Fans - I need your help!
I recently wrote a thesis of sorts for my literature qualification. Because this type of qualification is new, the special examiners do like to see some form of use of technology outside the realms of Word processors and a level of creativity.
In around 2 weeks time, i have to make a formal presentation about my 23 page book of an essay detailing how it came to be through drafting and research etc. To really wow the examiners i have made a youtube channel with a single introductory video where people can respond.
Although the original idea was to present this essay with a global community response to the points i had raised as well as being interactive and technology based. Since thinking on it and asking close friends to contribute, it has become more than that (in my mind anyway).
Im really hoping it snowballs into something amazing because whenever i discuss the wizard of oz with people, they seem to find their inner child and thats something i want to share.
But it seems to be failing at every turn with fellow students all too shy to go first and a copyright claim on the audio track which has since been swapped.
I would be honoured it the people of this forum and therefore true diehard fans, would help me get this project rolling, rescue it from disaster and create a video response.

Berni Could you not put the video on this spot and let people make comments that way,I feel that it might be a little easier for some of us.I have had a look on you tube and it seems you have to open an account first,is that right? i think it is a beautiful film for you to do your project on and i hope you get a good response,also have you thought about compiling a photo album of Wizard of Oz images as part of your project,there are some fantastic ones available and visual aids go a long way with examiners.You could call it something like "The Wizard of Oz Case Book"or something of that nature,I wish you well please keep me posted as to how you get on.

WOOProject Thanks for the comment. The original idea was to do a CD-rom with pictures from through out the years, i mean the book was originally written over 100 years ago - so theres pleanty to work with. But it just seemed....i dont know....a bit cold considering how much people embrace the story. To make a video or text response people do have to make an account, yes, but most people seem to have one these days. Im affraid though that it wouldnt really work having people make comments on this site as it defeats the object of everything being linked to that one video and then easily accessable as opposed to going to various different sites. But i appreciate your ideas - thanks :P

WOOProject Argh! The project was due to be presented tomorrow but it had no replies, ive delayed it until tuesday to rally a youtube response....please help guys! *panic!*

If I Only Had The Nerve and We're Off To See The Wizard with lyrics

posted by Sonicfan67

Yeah,it's sad,believe me,missy
When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve

But I could show my prowess
Be a lion not a mouse
If I only had the nerve

I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandelion
A fate I don't deserve

I'd be brave as a blizzard
I'd be gentle as a lizard
I'd be clever as a gizzard
If the Wizard is a wizard who will serve

Then I'm sure to get a brain
A heart
A home
The nerve

We're off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was
If ever,oh ever,a Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because,because,because,because,because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
