I started a YouTube channel last week. I am not sure what I will eventually put on there, but right now, I wanted to make some old videos from high school available to some of my friends. I’m sure many of them forgot we even made them.
Here are four I decided to post on my blog:
The Search for Truth
This was a video we made as a Youth Group with the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Missoula, MT. We had to include several things in the video. I could only remember the four I put in the opening credits. I must point out that we are all bad actors, we had no video editing equipment or computers, and no script. You have been warned.
How to Build a Ski Jump
First, a friend of mine, Eric Peterson, was taking a video production class, and made a video about building a ski jump. Then we performed a few jumps on it. I am the one who is really, really bad. And yes, that is me breaking my back at the end. I apologize for the poor quality of the video…it was pulled off a VCR tape from 1993. The static does go away after a while…
Evangelism Techniques
Second, I and a few other friends, Seth Palmer and Jeremy Sayre, made a video as a Senior Class project about Evangelism. Yes, I went to a Christian school. Anyway, we are not the best actors, and didn’t have any video editing equipment. We just shot one scene, and then shot the next scene, and so on. We had one take per scene. So that explains some of the quirks. Hope you can follow the story line. Oh, and I cringe at what we are teaching in the video. But I still find it funny.
The Driven
Finally, I was in a band. We were called “The Driven.” I played bass, and I stunk. But it was fun. We actually had some great songs, and at one point I had a tape with all of our music on it, but I have looked and looked and cannot find it. Andrew Snyder, the lead guitarist, wrote most of the lyrics and music for our band. Brodie Ellis is on rhythm guitar, and Seth Palmer is on the drums.
