What's Next?
VIDEO #366
Song - "Idioteque" by Radiohead
Three hundred and sixty five videos down, why not go for another year? I've got the hang of it now anyway so I'll just keep them coming! I'm sure I won't regret it! Here's to one more year of videos!

That's A Wrap
VIDEO #365
Various music compiled over the year
Well, this is it. The video to complete the 365 marathon. Excuse me for a second while I scream in excitement.......................... ok, I'm back. For you wondering, 'humm, maybe I should take on a project like this,' here is my 2 and a half cents: I didn't think very far ahead when I committed to this project. It started with the idea I would upload a simple little video and my day would not be affected too much by this endeavor. A couple weeks passed and I was thrilled that I was doing something for myself and that I had an audience I didn't want to let down, even though that audience was somewhere in the ballpark of 2 - 6 people. Somehow a couple months went by. This was the start of a whole new beast.
Around that time, life as I knew it, would be hell. Ok, I'm kidding there but seriously, it wouldn't be too far from it. When you need to be on a computer everyday, upload a video and write a caption is one thing. Just the stress of knowing you need internet access whenever you hit the road can cause an early death (and no, I was not able to upload from my phone and I had not once, scheduled an upload). Let's add lugging around a camera everywhere you go, filming sometimes anything, just in hopes you get something, import footage to the computer, edit that footage, export multiple times for various websites, then begin the upload game. Do that everyday, for one year.... what was I thinking! Hey, I wasn't.
It became a challenge that I could only lose if I gave up. Sure there are many other circumstances that could have prevented me from getting a video made and uploaded... that was part of the challenge which made it interesting. What would it be? If I wasn't going to quit, what or who might stop me? What was this obstacle going to be? It is the last day and I am uploading the final video as I type. I guess what I'm trying to say, or figure out how to put into words is that, I feel very fortunate to have been able to do this and not to have come across a major bump in the road to steer me off this journey. Having my health, support from family and friends and shelter from the rain made the year possible. Without that, my head would have exploded shortly after Dirty Homies (Video #027). My biggest thanks goes out to my sweetheart, Katana, who has put up with not only being filmed at any moment but a year of supporting a sometimes grumpy and tired guy. Thank you sweets. You're the best. So with that I would say, if you are committing to a challenge, make sure the time is right and find support wherever you can. It will help during the hard times.
Thank you, everyone for being a part of these videos, watching, commenting and passing along these silly moments. Please continue to do so as I will continue to create videos and share online, just not everyday. Also, if you've watched this video and did not recognize every character, that means there are videos for you to go back and watch. I'd tell you where to look but that wouldn't be fun now would it? That's it from me for know, again, thank you all! That's a wrap!!!

The Missing Socks Mystery
VIDEO #350
A Tribute to Lost Socks
Have you ever wondered where all those lost socks end up? I've recently discovered not just where they go, but also why they go. You see, socks need love too, and when their better half is off, galavanting around with some stripped, knee high... well, there's no reason the other ankle sock can't do the same. Mystery solved.

CSI Toys: Bathroom Crime Scene
VIDEO #344
Detective Smith and Officer O'leary Investigation Sounds
Mr. Tarzan has been feeling miserable lately, so miserable he feels his life is going down the toilet. So sad, let's hope the police arrive on time to save him from a horrible decision! I hope this video does not offend anyone, it is meant to be comical... I mean come on, they're toys!

House Arrest
VIDEO #319
Music by Jim Walker
I can see the movie slogan - "Jaws made people too scared to enter the water... this will make you never want to deliver a pizza again!" I stumbled across this great footage shot back in December, 2004. Who knows what Corey and I were thinking back then, but when I looked at the footage today, I thought, man... this would make an awesome little short. Corey debuting in an all-star performance and the all talented Jim Walker setting the atmosphere... shoot, all I had to do is put the clips together and witness the magic. Great to see old footage resurface and laugh out loud... even if it's watching yourself getting strangled to death. Thanks Corey and Jim!

See No Evil

Chaos from around the air waves
I have been thinking of doing a warp-into-my-eyeball kind of montage thing for a while so here you go. It was one of those projects that made itself, I was the computer's robot, I did as I was told... these are the voices in my head. Unfortunately, I might have nightmares tonight. Excellent.

We're All So Tall
VIDEO #166
Songs - "I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller" by Lil Troy and "Tall Drink of Water" by Kevin Fowler
It's a family tradition to measure up to the relatives and see where you stand at my grandma's house in Minneapolis. I think the earliest measurement I saw was from 1964 and just the other day we marked the little ones for their first time.

100 Time Lapse Videos

Song - "Paper Aeroplane" by Angus and Julia Stone
100 consecutive videos, wow! I am thrilled to have made it this far and hope to follow with 265 more. To celebrate, I chose 100 time lapse clips I've shot through out the years. For those who know me well, you might find yourself making a cameo in the montage. Well, back to work. For those tuning in, drop in, say hi and leave a comment. Knowing people are watching helps to make it all happen. Thank you all for the support!

Caving For Batman
VIDEO #053
Batman Theme
In central Oregon there are a ton of lava caves to explore. This one was in the middle of nowhere near Bend. Lots of fun but a little spooky knowing that one boulder falling could mean the end of a perfectly good day. It might be tough to see so check it out here if you'd like:

Dirty Homies
VIDEO #027
Song - "Cielito Lindo" by Mariachi Silvestre Vargas
I don't think there's anything wrong with a grown man playing with toys in the privacy of his own backyard. It's when someone sees you... that's when it becomes, maybe not wrong, but very awkward. I got caught playing with toys.

Target... For Him
VIDEO #011
Song - Track 9 by Chinese Singalong
Recently found out why Target is so addicting... the carts! It doesn't hurt to visit a happy hour before hand, just make sure you're not over the limit for driving the cart. Good camera work sweets!

"Death Crash"

So if you ever wondered what it might be like to be in a plane crash, here you go. The video is compiled from various trips within the last couple years... of coarse I couldn't resist using some sound clips from "Airplane - The Movie."
