Reporting from my Mom’s basement.

by JL on September 4, 2008

While going through boxes of old junk I came across a curious, dusty old VHS tape. I recognized it straight away as an old home video, and gingerly loaded it into the equally-dusty video player. Excelsior! I found the fabled, “UFO Alien Talk show” home movie - which is so awesomely terrible that I can’t even muster up the nerve to post it just yet.

However, on the same tape, I found a bonus video that I had completely forgotten about until watching the tape twenty years later. So now I present to you the eighth grade version of myself pretending to be a news anchor (complete with pop-up annotations - be sure to turn them on on the right corner of the YouTube viewer window).


Now you could look at this video as say, “He knew even then that he wanted to work in television news!” but I think that it’s probably more accurate to say, “I knew, even then, that I wanted to make weird home movies for the rest of my life.”

If you thought this was painful then you have no idea what is in store for you when I get the martian movie ready to upload. It is Nutrageous, my friends. I promise you that.

“We’re gonna get into the TV box”

by JL on June 24, 2008

I’ve been back in the tech reporting game (with more Click on JL segments airing in July), and I’ve also just finished-up a three minute PSA segment detailing the digital transition coming up in 2009. And with more JL video, comes more semi-ridiculous outtakes. [previous OT reels]

Without fail, I’m compelled to do weird(er) stuff whenever I can see myself in a TV monitor while shooting. I even got my co-producer, Benjie to jump in on the fun with our impromptu “TV Box” song. No surprise: the outtakes are about as long as the actual video. [Special shout to fellow tech-guy, John Sanders for providing a great template for our DTV promo in the first place.]

The Great Office War

by JL on June 19, 2008

Rather boring day at the office today…makes me kinda wish it went something like this:

Possibly one of the best videos I’ve seen on YouTube lately, aside from all the You Suck At Photoshop videos that Benjie got me hooked on this week.
