ANNOUNCER:
Dear guests, please welcome the President Of
Iceland Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson.
PRESIDENT:
Good evening, I think in a famous movie Elisabeth
Taylor once said "there is nothing as powerful as
a man with an idea".
The honorary awards tonight will be awarded to
such a man. An entrepreneur, director, producer,
actor, discipliner, trainer, a thinker but above
all a genious...which now molds life and enjoyment
for millions of people around the world.
An artist which has shown us and the nation that
an idea that is born in Iceland can be accepted on
the world stage.
He has built the most technically advanced studio
of it's type in the world, bringing with him
people which has won some of the most famous
awards in the movie industry to focus their energy
on this Icelandic project. And maybe even beaten
Hollywood in professionalism and technical skills.
He created characters, unforgetable to us all and
people around the world. Funny and charismatic
which now has fans around the world. No Icelandic
film project has gotten this much circulation. The
viewers are in each week counted in tens of
millions and probably even hundreds of millions.
Yes, he is like no other. He has given us an
adventure, but also a new believe what can be
achieved with creativeness alone. Of course it's
like that, he has chosen himself to be the "elf"
in this adventure.
It is a profound pleasure to announce tonight that
the Honorary awards of the Icelandic Film Academy
goes to none other than the Entrepreneur and
genious Magnus Scheving."
**APPLAUSE**
Let's look at a few clips from the history of Lazy
Town.
VIDEO:
In 1995 Magnus published the best seller book
entitled "Áfram Latibær" (Go Lazy Town). In a
short space of time, Lazy Town's popularity grewn
among the Icelandic youth. Magnus followed upon
that popularity with more books, theater shows
with record selling attendance and other shows and
entertainments over the whole country.
The idea of Lazy Town developed quicky and grew
over time. In 2003 the nation watched as a
contract was signed with the US TV station
Nickelodeon for 40 TV shows of Lazy Town.
Today Lazy Town is shown in 104 countries over the
world and are very popular, for example in the UK
and South America.
The shows are created in over 5000 square meters
studio in Garðabær.
The studio is one of the most technologically
advanced in the world, as it's unique in the world
that the whole production is done at the same
place.
About 150 international group of people work on
the show. The show and it's creators have won
numerous nominations and awards both here and
abroad, for example was Julianna Rose Mauriello
nominated for the Emmy awards earlier this year
for her work on the show as "Stephanie". The show
was also nominated short while ago for the English
BAFTA awards as the best international childen's
program.
**APPLAUSE**
MAGNUS SCHEVING:
Yeah......thank you very much for that, thanks.
Mister President and Academy and Collegues which
are here!
Uhm, my wife should really be beside me here, but
she is so goregeus that I would look bad.
Ragnheiður (her name) is here, she does not want
to come on stage, but Ragnheiður this statue
(awards) is yours.
Then I would like to talk about all the people
behind the scenes. There are so many people which
I have gotten to know behind the scenes which
nobody mentions. For example people sowing
costumes over nights. Set designers or assistance
which are under the snow capturing objects when
you throw them away. There are carpenter which
work day and night so that everything looks great.
There are secretaries and there are the people who
find kindergarten places for children of the
staff of over 40 foreigners which are here. And so
on.
There are so many people which are behind a
project like this that it would take hours to
mention them all. But if I should mention anyone
in particular then it would be Tómas Þorvaldsson
lawyer..
**APPLAUSE**
Most of you know who he is. I came to Tómas when
I only had a little idea but great hops. Tómas
listened to me and the most important to me was to
keep the franchise of this idea. And he helped me
to keep the franchise so I wouldn't lose it...and
he did it for free. I only had a hope and to spend
his time on a kid. Even when he was very busy. It
is very interesting and commendable.
Tómas! Thank you very much!
And it has been a good year for us. We have gotten
Emmy nomination, Bafta nomination which will be
awarded next week and we are very excited about
what will happen there. Also we received the Emil
awards in Germany and are very proud of it.

A free spanish translation from "Creativity meets
Capital -- Interview with Magnús Scheving"
(2005). An interesting interview where MS talks
about his childhood, how was started the LazyTown
project and his plans for the future. Because of
YT time restrictions I had to split the original
video in two parts. I hope you enjoy both of
them as I did.

| Magnús Scheving - Move and Groove Together (Closed Captions) |
 |
Full title: "Magnús Scheving - LazyTown - Family
Fitness: Move and Groove Together (Closed
Captioned) (Nick Jr. videos)". ;)
I forgot that all shows are supposed to have
Closed Captioned data, it's the law. However,
that's not why I started this CC project. Like
last time, I have the SSA subs along with the
original captured video available at Skootch's IRC
channel.
Update (12-9-2006): A link to information about
the FCC and Closed Captioning:

Note: Video noise near the beginning of the video.
And if you don't want to watch a subbed version of
this video, you can go to mizzpinkglamour's video

| Magnús Scheving - Get Your Jump On! (Closed Captioned) |
 |
Full title should be: "Magnús Scheving - LazyTown
- Family Fitness: Get Your Jump On! (Closed
Captioned) (Nick Jr. videos)" =)
This is another little project I decided to start
on. I noticed on the LazyTown US DVDs there is
Closed Captioning data. This made me wonder, why?
So I will be making custom Closed Captioning subs
for all English LazyTown related videos to find
out, "why?" These scripts will be available
immediately, most likely in the LazyTown IRC
channel being run by Skootch first then somewhere
else. Unfortunately they will be in SSA format
until I'm done with a good chunk of videos, then I
will work on the SRT format. The main reason for
that is because I know how to manipulate SRT subs
to make it look like some of the multi-line stuff
that SSA does; the only problem is that it takes
time to do it that way.
Anyways, I'm a newb in CC subbing, so if you have
any problems and critiques with it, please say
something, I need to learn.
If you wish to see the video with no Closed
Captioning subs, please go to mizzpinkglamour's
upload here:

Note: Video noise at 00:59, always strange that my
captures always have at least one spot where that
happens...
