Thanks so much for all your wonderful contributions for our words & pictures collaboration. You did such a great job on your RAssignment. May I have your autogRAph? 😉
Our project is complete! This was a lot of fun to assemble. First I made a Richard Armitage dictionary. Here are the front and back cover of the dictionary. Please click for full size.
Then I turned your words and pictures into dictionary pages. Those were then incorporated into a fanvideo.
Here’s the final result of our project:
EDIT: The audio had to be swapped, so the YouTube version has a jazz soundtrack.
EDIT: If you want to watch with the original electronica soundtrack, here’s the video on Vimeo:
I wasn’t sure what I was going do with your words and pictures when I posted our challenge but I had a few ideas. Then I accidentally came across this video template. Had I known in advance, I would’ve solicited your input for the blurbs. 🙂
Hope you enjoy our project! If you would like to download the video in MP4 format, here’s the link: group dictionary project video.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your great contributions. I wish you a lovely weekend. See you next week! 😀
EDIT: I have set the Vimeo video to be downloadable, and it’s in high resolution MPEG format so you can actually read the text. 🙂 Here’s the link again: http://vimeo.com/39456617. You may need to join or log into Vimeo to access the download link though.

Sweet! I love it. Looks fabulous, wish I really could buy it.
@Snicker’s Mom: Hehe, thanks! I wonder if some enterprising soul would ever write a Richard Armitage dictionary. Thanks for your contribution!
I want it!!!! One for every room!
@Sheepa: Oh my, you were paying attention, LOL! Thanks for your comment. 🙂
I caught the word Charmitage in the dictionary too. How did I not see that one coming?
@Sheepa: I am charmed by the great entries. 😀
I just can’t take my eyes off the pictures long enough to read the copy… But I’m sure it’s brilliant!
@IntownWriter: *sigh* I know what you mean! Whenever a Richard Article print interview is published, I can’t tear my eyes from the pictures to read the words, LOL!
This is awesome! It’s a shame it’s not real (but then the lawyers would spoil all the fun). Great work!
Will we get a chance to read each of the pages?
@Mrs. E. B. Darcy: Hmm… I wonder if book lawyers are as bad as music lawyers, LOL. As for reading the pages, I created them in the video program so I can’t easily post them individually. However, I have since made a high-quality download link available on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/39456617. 😀
Now I know how Samuel Johnson must have felt. Being a co-author of a dictionary, such an authoritative reference, is such a buzz. Perhaps it will be nominated for “Best Dictionary”

Then you can turn it into an App and we can all be rolling in royalties. OMG!
@beengizzied: Oh that’s a brilliant idea! Now you’ve got me thinking of actually making that app! 😀 What a treat that would be. Thanks for your contributions!
Great work! 🙂
How can I read this Dictionary? Need to improve my vocabulARy
xx M_T
@Mamma_T: I wish it really was available in paper format. I’d buy a dozen red dictionRAys! 😉 However, you should be able to read the pages if you download the high-res version which I made available on vimeo: http://vimeo.com/39456617.
Wahhhh!!! I want a dictionary like that!!! I have one that is similar, but not so well adorned. I think this one would be more entertaining, and ever so much more worthwhile!!!
Fantastic work, bccmee, and thanks to all who contributed!!
@ItsJSforMe: Any book with Richard Armitage would fly off the shelves. I have a copy of Chris Ryan’s Strike Back with Richard Armitage on the cover. 😀
Oooh. I need to get my hands on one of those!
Great dictionary Bccmee, bravo !
I also want a dictionary like that !!! 🙂
@April: It seems there is a market for this book. 😀 Thanks for your contribution!
Great addition to the library! I’ll be watching for future editions.
@Leigh: I am saving a space on my bookshelf. 😉
I’m honoured that my humble entry was included! Thank you, bccmee! 🙂
@jhezser: And I’m delighted you were kind enough to contribute. I thank you! 😀
LOL!”Highly educational work of art”, can I add something?:)
A work of genius,Bccmee! Thanks!:D
@Joanna: You’re very kind, thanks! RA really is educational. 😀
This is amazing and deserves to be published bccmee. Now what can we do to make happen?? I’m happy to pitch in some cash to the publishing fund.
@mersguy: LOL! It would be totally fun. 😀 You’ve given me an idea I may use for a future project…writing it down now. Thanks for your contribution!
Happy to help! And I’m serious about a fund! ♥
Guess this dictionary could help me to improving my English a lot…. LOL
Great job, Bcc!!! THANK YOU!!!
“to improve” … Guess I need a grammar too… and maybe someone to pRActice…LOL
@Luciana: LOL re: pRActice. 😀 I am delighted at the number of non-English words submitted too. We can all become multilingual. Thanks for your contribution!
I can’t wait for my copy! Eat your heart out Merriam-Webster!
Wonderful work Bccmee and everyone! Love it!
@MyrL/faboamanto: Glad you enjoyed our project and thanks for your contribution! 🙂
Bccmee, you are a genius. How did you get RA under contract, to do the audio book in the near future ? ;o) You really make fan-girl dreams become reality ;o)
I love your ideas and creative teaser texts !!! Thank you, bccmee!!!
@cdoart: I’m delighted you enjoyed our team effort. How hilarious if Richard Armitage actually narrated a dictionary, LOL! Thanks so much for your lovely contributions!
Enjoy? I loved it!
Thank you, Bccmee, and all writers! Fantastic collective work.
Can I pre-order the audiobook right now, please?
@Fabi: *giggle* I would love to hear a new audiobook read by RA. 😀 Thank you very much for your Portuguese and English contributions!
LOL! I want to read the whole thing! 😀
@Traxy: I would like to read this for real too! We could expand on this dictionary daily. 😀
Where can I buy this?!? I MUST have one! LOL
I LOVED THIS!!!!! Brilliant, just brilliant!
I love the Pret a Porter page…..Ready…Willing…Able! Yeah, baby!!
Wonderful entries, everyone! You’re a creative genius, bccmee! Bravo!!!
@debra7134: Hehe, I really enjoyed the brilliance of the contributions. The “Pret a Porter” page was written by our own Gratiana. 😀
Bcc!!!!!!!!!
Never learn a new language was so delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo! Ana Cris
@Ana Cris: I’m so delighted you enjoyed our collaboration! Thanks very much for your contribution. Your “body art” phrase fits nicely with your excellent and well-researched blogpost. 😀
Yay!! Some obsessive people (not me of course) MIGHT have paused each frame in order to read the amazing individual contributions. Can you imagine? Some fans are cRAzy! Geesh! LOL! So impressed with your work and everyone’s amazing submissions! ❤
@Margie: LOL, I’m guilty of the trying to catch each word too. 😀 The submissions are so clever and I couldn’t have thought them up myself in a million years. Thanks so much for your contribution too!
Now that is a bedside book for me! Fun project Bccmee! We all appreciate your hard work to make our days brighter! 🙂
@Bettina: Have to confess, I would definitely keep a copy of this book by my bed if this dictionary was real. 😀 I’d want this within reach wherever I went, LOL! Thank you kindly for your contributions!
Hilarious! You topped yourself again, B!
@jazzbaby1: Aw you’re too sweet to say, thanks! 🙂
I wouldbe great if we actually had this printed up. All those wnderful pictures of Richard with the words and their meanigs rigt there fro easy refernce 🙂
Well done B!
@jeanniegisborne: Wow, this would make a fantastic real book. My copy would be worn out very quickly, LOL! Thanks for your smirkilicious contributions! 😀
Oh, I want one!!! Obviously, I will need also the audio book and practical exercises. =) Thanks to your efforts, my English will improve a lot ….
@vec170203: We could learn a lot of Richard Armitage-related words together in several languages, LOL! Thanks for your kind words of support!
OMG Bccmee!
This turned out fantastically! I want this dictionary! Is there any way for us to actually download the pages of words and pictures so that we can enjoy them more slowly? I have goofy eyes.
Thanks and Cheers! Grati ;->
@Gratiana: Since I created the pages in Adobe After Effects, there’s no simple way to capture the pages. However, if you download the MPEG version from vimeo, you should be able to pause and read the content. 🙂 Thanks bunches for your contributions!
😉
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! We need something like that for this wonderful group of “well educated women” ;D
@Jonia: Haha, yes, we are rather well-read, aren’t we? 😀 Thanks for your comment!
I WANT IT!!!! NOW!!! FOR EVERY ROOM IN MY HOUSE!!!!!
@Jonia: *giggle* You were certainly paying attention! 😀
Bccmee, thank you and everyone who contributed; this is absolutely brilliant!!!!
Have to watch over and over again to catch all the wonderful details.
Yes, I want one too! A must-have and compulsory reading from now on.
Oh, and can I have my copy signed, please? 🙂
@megs: Thank you very much for your kind words of support! It’s a lot of fun to work together as a team in the Richard Armitage community. 😀
I love this project. It is a really good idea. I really liked the comment that said, “Read this every day until it’s worn out. Then buy a new copy.” Hehe.
The dictionary is good not just for those who are cRAzy for RA. It’s good when one is cRAving some RA time.
@Brooke: Haha, glad you liked the dictionary and that blurb in particular. Thanks for your support!
Wow! This is awesome!!! Everything’s amazing about it: the cover, the layout, the presentation itself… I just adore it!!! I’d never get tired of reading it! Thanks Bccmee and everybody who was part of this project! 😀
@Thaís: Oh you’re very kind, thanks! It was so much fun to put this together with everyone’s help! 🙂
I WANT ONE!!!! Thanks to everybody who contributed. Great result.
@titianminx: Mmm, if only it was real. Any publishers out there listening? 😉 Thanks for your comment!
I love it! I would love to have one for real! Would definitely buy it!
@Carolyn: I would buy this too, LOL! Thanks for all your ongoing support! 😀
I loveit!!! Really splendid final effect, Bccmee! Thank you!!!♥ Just brilliant!!! 🙂 Oh, I’d love to have this dictionary *sigh*
@Ania: Big thanks to you for your Polish entries! I’m so delighted you enjoyed it. I appreciate your contributions very much!
The book is lovely!! But hey it’s not for sale?? What a shame! Would be nice thing for charity or something?
Or copyrights don’t allow?
@jacqui_coinyard: A charity sale is a bRillAnt idea! Maybe someone will make it happen. 🙂 Thanks for your contribution!
This is so creative and funny ! well done bccmee, you are brilliant ! LOL!
@jos2507 / joane: Aw, thanks very much for your kind words. I honestly couldn’t do these projects without everyone’s help. I appreciate your contribution too! 😀
it was a great fun and a great “pleather” ! ; ) and the result is fantastic because of you !
@jos2507 / joane: *giggle* The “pleather” is all mine! 😉

@Tereza: I’m so glad you’re able to read it! 😀
You’ve outdone yourself with this one, for sure! So fun and brilliant! Thanks so much for letting us all contribute! I think the link should be sent to Richard’s agents for forwarding to him, don’t you? 🙂 Well done, clever, clever you!
@Emma: Delighted you enjoyed our collaboration! Thanks again for your delicious contribution. 😀
Fantastic!! I’ll learn every word by heart if I had this dictionary! (*^^)v
Thanks so much for sharing!
@grendel’s mum: I want to use all these words daily, LOL! Thanks for your support!
Finally got around to watching this on Vimeo and stopping at every page so’s I could read the text and have a good look at the pics. What an absolutely fabulous job you have done on this bccmee, now all that has to be done is to get it into print!!
@Mezz: Yay I’m delighted you were able to stop and smell the words & pictures, LOL! 😉 Thanks for your lovely comment.
I love it!! Thank you, Bcc Mee!! 😀
@ayyp: So sweet of you to say. Thank you! 🙂
This is so well done. All of you who created those words and definitions are amazing and have great humor!
@love4ot: Aw thanks! And I totally agree that everyone did a great job with their contributions. 😀
Haha Just had the fab idea I could turn the front and back covers into custom skins for my iPad until release of print and audiobook!
Fanny/iz4blue: Clever idea! Remember, the dictionary is also going to be a major motion picture, LOL! 😉
Pingback: Legenda 21: Stuff worth reading « Me + Richard Armitage
I want it !!!!!
@Nadia: Me too! It would be fun to own a copy. 🙂
If only we could really buy it ! You’re amazing 😀
@thefrencharmitagearmy: Maybe someone will step up and make this a reality. 🙂
This is great fun. It would be a hoot to have a hard copy. Tks for the laughter!
@sloan: Thanks for your comment. I can totally visualize a hard copy; it would be awesome!
Can this please be someone’s next project to turn it from online reality to actual reality. I would love a hard copy too. An RA publishing company would have many interested investors.
Bccmee you are so wise to know that no RA dictionary would be complete without pictures as we are never too old for picture prompts. Thank you.
@lucylou: I’m not sure if anyone is actually going to make a hard copy book a reality but they are welcome to do so. 🙂 I lack the time but since this is a group project, I do not “own” the idea! LOL re: the pictures. I totally agree, they are a necessity to illustrate the finer points of the vocabulary. 😉
