Call for Reader Submissions – Video
Are you experiencing problems with the video? We currently use Brightcove to deliver videos. Click Here to see help and troubleshooting tips from their site.
In the days when video cameras are as ubiquitous as spring tulips, when a myspace page is nothing without a YouTube video, it seems like everyone is turning into mini-Tarantinos and Sophia Coppolas. But despite easy access to tools, it still takes a special degree of creativity to come up with something really clever.
For instance, take a couple of minutes and check out this awesome stop-motion video by Fritz Clauss – then consider that he's a junior in high school at Saint Joe's. An Elmwood-Franklin grad, he works with Squeaky Wheel and will be (fortunately) be going to film school for college. Using this traditional stop-motion technique, remember that video moves at 29 frames a second, so Fritz had to be very, very patient with this project – but what better way to while away a winter weekend?
Think you've got something just as terrific? Why not send it in to BRO and share it with the world? If you've got a clip you'd like to submit for possible inclusion in our Video channel, please send it to callforvideo@buffalorising.com.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am

New Magazine To Focus On The Local Art Scene
