Yes

This is me!!>>
Well, I got quite a bit done these past couple of weeks. I have uploaded four new videos since the last post. Click here for the first one. Click here for the second one. Click here for the third one.Click here for the fourth and final one.







Some good news that I have is that my videos will no longer have black bars on the side. I have found a way to fix the cropping.

The first one is called "The Johnny Backseed Show 2". This one is (as the title suggests) the sequel to the first one. This one (in my opinion) is better than the first. It is still 15 minutes long, so it should be great to listen to while working on something. Again, I voiced all of the characters using as many diverse voices I can. I got a few chuckles from people that I showed it to, so that gives me hope that I didn't waste my time. I am planning on making one more of these in the future to sort of end the series. I just need to get started on it. I'm already throwing around a few ideas. Plus redoing the picture that is shown (I am aware that it is poor, I rushed it).

The second one is called "7even Sense (Sixx Sense Parody). As the title suggests, it is a parody. It pokes fun at the radio show called "Sixx Sense" which is hosted by Nikki Sixx and Jenn Marino that comes on nightly. This video was a request. Suasagerolls234 drew the awesomely hilarious picture. This one I got some other voice actors in it. I voice Dikki 7even (Nikki Sixx parody) which I did my best impression of Nikki Sixx (what with his smarmy attitude, and low energy voice). I also did the voice of the first caller. Suasagerolls234 did the role of the co-host Jam (parody of Jenn Marino) using an absolutely hilarious but nails-on-chalkboard voice. "Big Jug" did the voice of the second caller using a very hilarious nasal voice. I wish this person could of done more lines, but I already finished the script and didn't even know that she was interested in voicing. "D-Dizzle" the guy who gave me the request did the voice of  Jason Kruger at the end. This time things were different since I had to record with others. I sent each person a copy of the script along with mockup lines of me doing all the voices to give them an idea on what to use as a baseline. Then, I had to meet with these people to give them directions one the type of tone and energy level. After all of that is done, they sent it to me through email and I went through and replaced my impressions with theirs. The end result was this. D-Dizzle unfortunately was not satisfied with the final result. It apparently is just a slightly exaggerated version of the real "Sixx Sense" (with it's gross story telling). I am not a huge fan of it either, everyone did a great job and all, but in the end, there is a reason that I don't do parodies. The sense of humor really only appealed to D-Dizzle (by that, I mean the parody elements such as the names). I won't do another video of this radio type format for awhile since, they really don't seem to be appealing to anyone.

The next video is me returning back to my roots. It is called "Jake From Statefarm" this one is not my best work to say the least. I voiced the character that is shown and the operator, and used part of the commercial for Jake's part. No I am not advertising Statefarm with this. The only real issue that I have is that I don't like the voice I used for the Panda. It is too high pitched and like a fork-scratching-plate type of annoying. Other than that, there was not too much that went into this. This was just to introduce that character, since it is a different style than just about all of my other ones.

Now, the most recent video was uploaded today. This one actually has some meaning. Not by the animation of course (none of my animations make sense or are supposed to make sense). However, the song choice is what has the meaning. I used the song "Wrap It Up" by The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Which, I actually had the privilege of  seeing them perform in concert recently. They are excellent musicians, and I got the chance to actually meet them after the show and get an autograph from each of the members in the band. They are are very kind, humble people (they liked my Def Leppard shirt that I wore to the concert). I got to shake the hand of the lead singer Kim Wilson. Definitely a very memorable moment. A fun fact is, that one of the guitarists in the band (Johnny Moeller, respectively) is actually a childhood friend of Mike Judge (creator of King of the Hill, and Beavis and Butthead) and was the inspiration (along with another) for Beavis and Butthead. So out of respect for the band, I used a short excerpt from one of their songs.

In other news, I do have another video planned, that I will work on. It is a little longer, and it is animated. I will try to focus on making a more complex animation for it with some proper lip syncing and more movements. The whole thing will be about two minutes (short, but long for an animation).

Also, I drew up a few pictures for the profile pictures of my Facebook and Twitter accounts. They are all the same image, but I played around with some effects on Gimp.
