Dear Les Amis Vlog

It’s been a hectic month but I finally wanted to comment on the end of the series. I don’t know if any of you are still following the tag, but if you are I just wanted to say, it’s been amazing having the chance to work with so many incredibly talented actors and writers, all of you were perfect, and I’m sorry I never got the time to film my last script. I’m also really sorry I never spoke much to a lot of you. I am but a crippling shy meme and all of you are so cool idk, anyway I wanted to say if any of you ever want to talk to me, my skype is always open to you (odd_beyond_reasoning for those of you who don’t have it).

It’s been wonderful and thanks for letting me tag along for the ride <3

To Les Amis Vlog

It has been a while since you put up the post about the series ending, and I didn’t know what to say, but thankfully I do now. I just want to say that it has been amazing to be able to work with you as a writer in this series,even though I have been part of the group for a short time, and I consider it to be an honor as I have been a big fan of the series for a while now and to be a writer for it has been amazing. I just want to thank everyone who has been a part of this project and you have all done a great job. I tend to consider my involvement in this project to be a highlight of my time on tumblr and the internet so far, and I just want to thank everyone for letting me be a part of this project. I’m sorry that I didn’t speak much, mostly as I am rather shy and the fact that I didn’t want to intrude as I was a rather new writer. I am able to speak to you if you want to my skype is open and I like to talk to people, (Ayla01232).

I am glad that the project has gone so well and I wish to everyone who was a part of it, to have the best in years to come and you are all wonderful and thank you for letting me be a part of it.

Les Amis Vlog - the Triumvirate

COURFEYRAC: “I honestly believe we are capable of being better.”

Les Amis Vlog, Monologues: Why America is Not the Greatest Country in the World

Dear fans, followers, and participants of Les Amis Vlog:

This project was conceived in August 2013 by two passionate Les Mis fans.

Since then, we've made 104 vlogs, gained over over 40,000 youtube views, traveled across the country to meet each other, met the cast of Broadway Les Mis, and created memories and videos and friendships that will last forever. 

Of course, all good things must come to an end. With this last round of videos, Les Amis Vlogs has officially come to a close. 

I want to thank everyone who worked on this endeavor, from my original co-producer to the admins who took over when I needed help to the writers and editors and actors who made this project possible in the first place.

And I want to thank you, the fans, for dedicating yourself to this project. We really couldn't have done any of it without you. 

This project took over 50 individuals and brought them together. It's the biggest thing I've ever done and it honestly changed my life for the better. I wouldn't be studying theatre if I hadn't gotten involved with Les Amis Vlogs. I wouldn't have realized my love for producing and I wouldn't have met two of my best friends.

Although the project has ended, I will be keeping up the official blog as an archive. In addition, we may be putting up extra footage (videos, bloopers, etc) that was never posted.

As a final thought, I would love it if you all would post about your favorite memory from Les Amis Vlogs, whether that be a certain video or interaction, really anything. Put it in the tag and we'll reblog it to the site. 

This was an amazing adventure. I'm so glad I got to take it with all of you. 

Best wishes, Shira Theydieholdinghands

Things have been a little bit harried for me; sorry about that. I'll be back in full next time.  Enjoy this in the meantime.

Warnings:  The Cry Havok speech contains references to child death, blood, and bloody battle.  If you're sensitive about that kind of thing, skip the section between 1:08 and 2:10.  Take care of yourselves, folks.

If the quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie sounded familiar, it's because Beyonce sampled Adichie's speech in her song "Flawless." Hope you enjoyed my two cents on feminism in the modern world! Feel free to hit me up here in the comments or over on my Tumblr, I'd love to hear from you!

Hey guys! 

Round 6 has finally come to an end! We’ve been working on Round 7 for the last few weeks, but we’re also starting to plan out Round 8! This project has always been about community involvement, between choosing actors through a voting process, opening up writing to anyone interested, and taking suggestions from the audience, and so we have decided to extend this to our Round 8 video theme! For past rounds, the admins have thought of themes such as “Rock Bottom and Redemption” and “Life Changing Events”. Examples of other previous video themes can be found here. 

We will be accepting submission for themes through our auxiliary suggestion blog. If you have an idea for a theme, you can submit to the blog with the title of the theme, the general idea, and a few potential examples of how characters could respond. 

Example Submission:

Title - Life Changing Events

General Idea - The characters will discuss one event that has shaped their lives, for better or worse. They will talk about the event, as well as the changes they faced. 

Character examples - Courfeyrac could talk about the time she met Marius, Joly could talk about his experience in hospitals, etc. 

When you submit a theme, we will add your url to a document, along with the title of your theme idea. We will publish all the theme ideas anonymously. After the deadline, we will compile all of the theme ideas into a poll, and you will all be able to vote on what you want to see!! This way, we will retain anonymity, while still being able to credit the person who came up with the idea.

We are looking for something creative, with the potential for both serious and funny videos!

Again, here is the link to submit!

The deadline to submit a theme idea is December 8th, 6pm EST. 

And if you don’t have any ideas, please signal boost!!

[officiallesamisvlog]

Hello again!

We hope you're enjoying round 7 so far, and there's more on the way.

We've had some excellent and interesting suggestions for round 8 and we'll be setting up voting pretty shortly, but if you've been hit by am idea in the meantime, we're giving you until Monday 22nd to send it in according to the instructions above. Heck, submit multiple ideas if the fancy strikes you, and tell your friends to do the same.

Have a wonderful holiday season <3
