An A&R rep's dream

Gotta love inter­net memes. They're the online ver­sion of being the kid on the play­ground who looks at what every­one else is doing, and says to him­self, or out loud, "Me too!"

This one comes from Jeff via Amy. Seri­ously, blame them. The idea here is that you get a ran­dom arti­cle from Wikipedia, that's your band's name. Ran­dom quo­ta­tion, that's the album. Ran­dom photo from Flickr, that's the art­work. Ready to play? Dis­cus­sion is here.

"Klingon Skits" [dragon*conTV]

We shot so many damn Klin­gon bits for 2006. Well, say­ing "we" is actu­ally a mis­nomer here, as I wasn't present for the footage that was used to make these up. How­ever, I was tasked with edit­ing most of them.

"Hamilton Center" [dragon*conTV]

My first attempt at edit­ing video for dragon*conTV. I shot about half the footage for this spoof as well as did the post-editing.

Fun fact! If you keen view­ers out there rec­og­nize the back­ground image that's hid­ing the green screen, it may be because you saw it here.

"Blood Train" [dragon*conTV]

This is, to date, my Tour de Force, if such a thing exists for spoof videos made by vol­un­teers on a nonex­is­tent bud­get for a con­ven­tion on Labor Day weekend.

My friends Brian and Patrick filmed a day's worth of these great sports in Klin­gon garb danc­ing in a com­mu­nity cen­ter. They had no real script or idea for the com­mer­cial, just the footage. I remem­ber talk­ing to Brian, and get­ting a response some­thing like, "Try to do some­thing with it."

So here's what I came up with. The "script" took a cou­ple of hours of review­ing the shots and then about fif­teen min­utes of putting them down on a stickie note. I think it came out pretty well, considering.

I also decided to use pseu­do­nyms, since I think that hav­ing my name in the cred­its more than once for such a short video comes off as a bit pre­ten­tious. So, for the record, Melvin Ferd and El Duckie Caliente are also yours truly.

I am not, how­ever, Clay Leap­heart. That's a real per­son. (I think.)
