Not hosted on YouTube, but it is a video I have made. It's the pilot of a new film review/analysis show I'm doing. Really would like some feedback on the character so I know if there's anything I should retool before taking the project out of beta.
Technically not a video I am helping a buddy of mine with a podcast. Hot of the Record is going to be about music reviews (mainly of the nerd variety but I am trying to open it up some more). Feel free to enjoy the rambling if you wish.
Rylin weighs 17 pounds. Simon the Puma weighs 22. None of it is fat; he's a big ball of muscle.
Most of the time, Simon is awesome -- except at 2 a.m. when he decides to pounce with all that 22 pounds on my rib cage with a big grin on his stupid, whiskered face.
Here's a variation of a "counting catches" skit I've performed for jugglers since about 2004, this time at Portland Juggling Convention in 2011.
Maybe I'll dig out the original version, where I juggle 8 balls for "16 catches". I really like the idea of this routine, as half the audience don't work out that I start counting throws and end by counting catches. The other half do realize what I've done, and despite the difficulty of the trick, they boo. It's great! In the 8 ball version, the payoff would be the real 16 catches (and sometimes 10 catches of 10 balls). In the 5 club backcrosses version, if I'm feeling good I'll try the real 10 catches.
On the night of the above renegade show, I got blindingly drunk on stage due to everyone who came on stage having to drink a swig of whiskey, and I drank at the same rate as every act combined. This 5 club routine was at the start of the show, but until I just found this video online (10 months later) I'd forgotten if I actually tried the real 10 catches. I'm glad to see that I managed it!
It's not really glitching. What's going on is that my shadow creates a spot on the green screen that's so different from what the chroma key filter has been told is "green" that it doesn't get made transparent. I'm using Sony Vegas.

Here's one:
The acting is terrible, the story doesn't make sense, but it's kinda funny. Also this was like 6 years ago.

One small criticism: Your vid only addresses Win7, and it you should probably indicate that somehow.
