THE CHALLENGE

Your task this week is to create a song worthy of the Eurovision Song Contest!

This task is designed to test you creativity, song writing skills and grasp of foreign languages. It will also analyse how you face the challenge of working in a group.

You will need to ensure that by the end of the task you have at least:
-written a song (which must contain at least one verse in a foreign language)
-made costumes using a doll maker
-created merchandise
-nominated one person with a microphone to record the finished song (optional)

To pass this challenge everyone must post at least once (you are however allowed four fails), and you must have everything completed.

Big Brother will judge you on how well you worked together as a team, and how successfully you completed the challenge set to you.

Good Luck!

We need posters too!! Is anyone aware of who will do those? I'm just too lazy to go back and read xD And my nerves are on the limit with these dolls... i forgot to put something silvery on the first doll, so now i have to start again cuz i deleted it already :D Silly me... ARRRRGH!!!! *rushes to kill the dollmaker*

Destress Caree!!!

Breathe in and out...don't worry, we still have a couple of days! Of course we can get everything done!

I'm rubbish at graphics...that lodo is just about the best I could do, but I'm working on a book cover called "The Silver Hippos - The secrets to their success, by Lou Katmé" Think of anything better?

Lol yes it does WL :D I'm glad you liked it ^.^

Okaaaay, so here's my first costume group... i choose to mix black and white, cuz it would look good and it would make it easier for me to find cool clothes... mm-hmm, so here it is: https://2img.net/h/oi17.tinypic.com/35idik9.gif

Any opinions?

I LIKE THEM!! :D A lot. Okay so I already told you that but I really really do ^.^

I LOVE IT!

(you can tell I love a lot) can I use it on the cover of the book? It would look better than the cute hippo thing I have right now...

I am so sorry I am late. Yell at me what to do and I'll get right on it

Caro! I think the costumes are AMAZING!! :D

What else needs doing?

hmmm I think posters could be done after all we can never have too many im not too sure whats going on with the song writing yet though...

have we found someone to sing?

Are we having someone singing over a microphone. If yes then I'll back out of that lol.

What is needed on the posters?

I'd sing but well i dont have a mic....

I can't do any graphics... so thats out of the question... I have a mic but I'm terrible and I can only speak English xD

why cant you do graphics amber?? and you are not horrible and if i knew how topnounce the words i could sing but again no mic...

The costumes i made can be used to anything by anyone for this challenge, i don't really mind ^^ So go ahead, if it helps us to get through this challenge, then GO AHEAD PEOPLE!!!! :D

OK GUYS! UPDATE! We have:

Costumes, Logo, A set of lyrics that need to be tweaked to get someforeign language in there...I speak Hindi (ish) and Marathi, if you need it, and I know some French, German and I've started Mandarin.

Merchandise: Plenty! But we still could do with some more...

NAME OF BAND: The Silver Hippos

NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE BAND: 5!!! 2 guys, 3 girls

Join in and help as much as you guys can, or if you don't think you can do much, try! Or if not, give some feedback on things you think would help, and help us improve!!

Hmm, if we don't find enough of guys (lol, two... hahaha) then we can just leave them out, and i can make two girls instead of them... *points at the dolls*

Just lemme know ^^ Caree will do xD

sorry i got here kind of late but i still want to help somehow
iu would sing but i have no microphone
hmmm what else is there to do?

“The Silver Hippos are coming to town”

The news’s spread
Hold on your children
They’re coming
No one can resist
To the beat they’re bringing

Chorus:

If you wanna dance
Come join us!
If you wanna laugh
Komm mit uns!
If you wanna get in the groove
Viens rassemble avec nos!
If you wanna let yourself go
Vem junta-te a nós!
Cuz this time
The Silver Hippos are coming
The Silver Hippos are coming to town

Smiles on people’s faces
Joy on children’s plays
Dancing feet to all
Fights forgotten
Grudges left behind

Chorus:

If you wanna dance
Come join us!
If you wanna laugh
Komm mit uns!
If you wanna get in the groove
Viens rassemble avec nos!
If you wanna let yourself go
Vem junta-te a nós!
Cuz this time
The Silver Hippos are coming
The Silver Hippos are coming to town

Another happy town
Peace all over
Love over flown
They’re job’s done
Time to go

Chorus:

If you wanna dance
Come join us!
If you wanna laugh
Komm mit uns!
If you wanna get in the groove
Viens rassemble avec nos!
If you wanna let yourself go
Vem junta-te a nós!
Cuz this time
The Silver Hippos are coming
The Silver Hippos are coming to town

Thos are both so good! I could never come up with something like that!
We'll have to figure out whcich to use. Personally, I like Raislin's, I found it funny

That was reaaaalllly good Rai :D *feels put to shame XD*

Hey Both are good!!! I think, though instead of trying to get something foreign into Ginny's we should just use Rai's to save time and focus on other things...

Rai are you willing to sing for us?

If not, how about anyone else?

If not again, Elfie did say it was optional didn't she?

yes, Elfie did say it was opinional but if we could, we should try it, if not to get extra points right? hehe

Edit:

I just did part of the Gift shop! I'll just put the links here as its too big to post it all :D

Hmm, shouldn't this be launched today? I won't be home until late, so.... grrr.

https://2img.net/h/i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/WaterLily15/hippocool.jpg

Something like jenn's pages...but this a Clothes Page of models...I found this on the net and tweaked it to my own satisfaction...let me know your views!

Okay! I am back. I'm still not exactly sure what you guys want on the banners, but I'll go work on a few and post them. Maybe I'll use a few lyrics from Rai's song...that's the one we decided to use, right?

and everyone, EVERYTHING is looking excellent!

EDIT: I couldn't find the greatest pictures of hippos, but I'll work on a few more. Also, which dolls are we using? Cause I could put those into a poster as well...

If someone missed the costumes before here they are: https://2img.net/h/oi17.tinypic.com/35idik9.gif

If someone's good at graphics, that someone could like put some silver there, cuz i just noticed that the name "Silver Hippos" won't fit so well, if they're black and white... so please, can someone be that nice and do it? ^^

ooh okay I like those costumes...but I think they have silver in them already! there are some silver tops in there, and some silver jewelry, and somone even has silvery hair...I think it's absolutely fine! ^^

EDIT: Another poster...hmm...should I make one poster for each of those dolls? Maybe...I'm on a roll XD




Okay hopefully I'll get the rest done later:

Ooo, everything is so pretty and the song is amazing.

If I can do anything, please tell.

i'm confused...someone give me something to do that doesn't involve graphics, becausei cna't do those...at all...all i have is microsoft paint.

I agree with everything that's been said.

Someone give me a task?

Okay, for all of you that want jobs, Jenn has pretty much summed up what needs doing on page 2, hop over there and pick a job and DO it. ^^

I'm actually not entirely sure that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing...but oh well. I'll continue doing it because I'm having a very good time. XD

I'll be back soon with more posters, and perhaps a few magnets and stickers. ^^

Hmm, I haven't been on lately, sorry, sort of fell behind ..

Anyways,

I'd love to sing! I have a microphone as well..

I can speak A TINY bit of japanese and alot of french.

(Awesome job everyone, I love it.)

Okay, here are some more posters. Magnets and stickers coming up (hopefully).







EDIT:

Okay, some magnets and stickers and I'm off to bed. XD
