It’s been almost a month since I posted anything - as usual, I’ve just been working long hours. Recently I had to put together a “reel.” Normally, I’m not crazy about doing that kind of thing but I had fun with this one and got some help from my alter ego.

It certainly *looks* like you had fun with that one. I’m glad to see you included your “grand exit” and ended with “… and you can’t do shit about it.” Made my day, this one.
Nice.
This helped.
Thank you.
Very impressive! And inspirational. Best exit since Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind.
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
Mad skills indeed…
That was too fun! Mad skills, indeed!

dear sir. I would like some help developing my idea for an web TV network show for the internet. i think it would be advantageous for you to contact me. I believe you may have what it takes. I have many contacts who will ensure our great success on the web. Please contact me through email with the internet.
I remember first seeeing some of those videos in like 2003 and they made me realize the kinds of things that I could do with video -it’s like watching the QATSI trilogy for the first time.
Love the hosts of your reel. Hilarious! What software do you use for machinima? The “text to speech” sounded really good. What did you use?
Looking forward to the next installment.
I use Second Life, Crazy Talk, iShowU and Final Cut Pro. The voices are from AT&T.
