@#$%!

The first thing you will be saying when you finish watching this video is, "Wow Sam, the camera angles are very good!" Yes, they are. This is because I used the desk in the garage to film this video. It was very fun, as long as I didn't die of dehydration. I'm serious, it was so hot in there that i was soaking wet after the first day of filming! Anyway, the project would probably have been finished a while ago, but I was too lazy at the time I first got this idea.

This video is also proof that some ideas go in a whole different direction than you think they will go. It started out simple enough, and got even simpler. I did this for fun, and also for a last hoorah with my editing software, created by Roxio. Why am I moving on to something different you ask? Well, the past few months it hasn't exactly been easy to start a project on there. The software will think that it is done doing work and will refuse to respond to any action. I have probably started the windows task manager about fifty times in the past three months with the software, and now I will refuse to respond.

I will now be using the software I used to make the deleted scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, it is called Vegas and is made by Sony. If you want to look at it, here is the link: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiopp. The box is very pretty! I will be able to do more things with it and the effects will be awesome. I have my Father to thank for getting this, he is awesome as well.

Speaking of my Father, he pointed out a mistake last night when he watched my video. The thing he said was: "Where's the back story?" This is important because there is none. So, I'm making one up now. Here it is:

Government spy Peirce Conroy is living in the town of Tedon. He has stolen the polls for the election and now is in hiding. The Mayor of Tedon, Ted Twoface, wants the polls back. So, he has set up an elaborate trap for Peirce. Little does Ted know that this trap will lead to a battle of the wills. A battle in which only one will win...

Oh, and I have to put in something sports related. Reggie Bush on the Heisman committee taking away his trophy: "You're gonna have to rip it out of my cold, dead hands!!!!"
