<br />
So much for this being my big break and getting my channel a lot of exposure! :/<br />
<br />
The schedule is as follows, mine is the second one "When Child’s Play Goes Awry":<br />
<br />
2:30AM - Such a Cliché<br />
3:00AM - When Child’s Play Goes Awry<!-----mine--><br />
3:30AM - Create a Superhero<br />
4:00AM - How-To Video: The Musical<br />
4:30AM - The Craziest Dream<br />
<br />
Be sure to check your local listing though because on my AT&T U-Verse this block actually starts at 11:30.<!-----mine--><!-----mine--><!-----mine-->Dustballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944615059790739779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973701506469463296.post-59857551738683513472012-11-08T15:02:00.001-08:002012-11-08T15:02:18.553-08:00I re-released some of my "sweded" movie clips on my new channel in preparation from some new ones coming soon! <br /><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/FKNEO6TQrpA?hd=1" target="_blank">Jurassic Park</a><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/YS-rvy7wy_E?hd=1" target="_blank">Honey I Shrunk The Kids</a><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/VrpcH0hTLsw?hd=1" target="_blank">Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol</a><br /><br />These were originally from my series <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MyMovieShow" target="_blank">"My Movie Show"</a>Dustballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944615059790739779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973701506469463296.post-90543173173921067352012-10-08T13:43:00.003-07:002012-10-08T13:44:12.131-07:00New video up! <a href="http://youtu.be/kxFfXFHZzmQ?hd=1" target="_blank">"Blind Justice"</a> This one is a bit of a departure from my normal tone, it's a bit more gritty and violent but I had fun diving into new territory.

So I can finally announce that I participated in a reality competition show called Viral Video Showdown which premiere on Syfy Oct 30! Two teams are issued a challenge to make a video and only have a few days to do it.<br />
<br />
It was the most insane, overwhelming, fun thing I've ever done and I'm so anxious for everyone to see the show and my video, which I'm very proud of! (I'm anxious to see the show myself and hope I don't look stupid!) I don't know which episode is mine, but I'll have lots of info and things to say about it once it premiere, so stay tuned!<br />

Pretty straightforward title, pretty simple video. But I wanted to get back into putting together fun little musical things. I used to do it with animation back in the day but I haven't done much of it with video. So this is sort of a practice video.Dustballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944615059790739779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973701506469463296.post-3627737515788849432012-09-08T13:09:00.000-07:002012-09-08T13:10:31.219-07:00It's been a while since I've posted a new video but the latest one is almost complete! (Plus an HD "restoration" of a classic)<br />
<br />
I also just finished a bunch of fun animation for a documentary about YouTubers called "Please Subscribe", follow the page for updates: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/PleaseSubscribe" target="_blank">facebook.com/PleaseSubscribe </a><br />
<br />
I'm also directing two back to back action videos with <a href="http://www.newantics.com/" target="_blank">New Antics</a>, going to be fun!Dustballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944615059790739779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973701506469463296.post-55038097484393942752012-07-16T15:42:00.005-07:002012-07-16T15:42:48.171-07:00Laser video is finally up!

Monday I'll be releasing my latest YouTube vid, so hold tight. I'm also involved in some very cool live-action projects, but they are a ways away from me being able to talk about them. Very exciting though!<br />
<br />
Today while I had the chance, I updated the website to go directly to the videos page, hopefully that makes it easier to watch the vids without all that annoying clicking!Dustballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944615059790739779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973701506469463296.post-28605082105501296312012-05-23T17:48:00.002-07:002012-05-23T17:49:50.417-07:00The behind-the-scenes for "Invisibility Cloak" is up! <a href="http://youtu.be/bKWnfSOz8ws?hd=1" target="_blank">Watch it here.</a>Dustballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944615059790739779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973701506469463296.post-57666697510047746242012-05-21T13:19:00.002-07:002012-05-21T13:19:25.728-07:00New video!
