m1k3y and the return of the fun videos

So, like  some 10+ years ago, I made an initial foray into film making. I took an intro to production course at what was then a brand new community cable network.  I played with their cutting edge non-linear editing equipment.  I read all sorts of film-making books.  Devoured Rodriguez’s Rebel Without a Crew.  Would beg, borrow or steal people’s cameras and make these little (terrible) on the fly short-films.  All of which are on various ye olde video formats, like Super VHS and VHS C.

I even sat down, wrote a screenplay and spent a fun day making an almost feature-length movie that we never got around to editing.  Because it was terrible and we knew it.  But it was fun!  Plus, there was this cameo by a miniature horse that wandered onto our guerrilla production.

Now, it’s the age of YouTube.. a more permissive time, when you can make fun little videos and upload and share them, and get on BoingBoing; stuff like that.  Which is just what my friend Heath has been organizing for our little local troupe of fun loving Actors / D&D players.

First, there was the lip-syncing tribute to PopCap’s Plants Vs Zombies game – Zombies On Your Lawn:

Then, answering a call Neil Gaiman had made, an enactment of a scene from The Graveyard BookDancing the Macabray:

What future quirky vid will make this a trilogy?  Who knows..  But it sure is a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends.  Thanks Heath!

Good issues?I’d notice that as any individual who in point of fact doesn’t write on blogs much (in truth, this can be my first submit), I don’t suppose the time period ‘lurker’ is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault in the least , however perhaps the blogosphere may come up with a greater, non-creepy identify for the 90% of us that revel in studying the content .

  17. Good story and a nice summation of the problem. My only problem with the analysis is given that much of the population joined the chorus of deregulatory mythology, given vested interest is inclined toward perpetuation of the current system and given a lack of a popular cheerleader for your arguments, I’m not seeing much in the way of change.
