Yes, there are going to be two of these, for all of you masochists and accent fetishists out there.
Don't worry, it gets better as it goes along. Then it gets worse again, then better, until finally it ends with something I can't apologize for enough.
So here's my definitive account of what went down when I went to the big YouTube gathering in Washington Square Park on July 7th, stitched together (with explanations) from whatever usable footage I was able to shoot.
The unholy bastard child of origami and math.
This takes a while to set up, but there's a payoff at the end that only works if you follow through the whole thing. Is it worth it? You tell me.
A weekend at the Jersey Shore, and my first semi-serious attempt at editing.
The timing's not quite there, and I need to find some more interesting stuff to shoot, but the right music can make just about anything half-way interesting.
So after the original EepyBird experiment got shut down, Nalts went guerrilla to make sure the folks at Washington Square Park got their money's worth. Here's my footage of the result in its entirety, featuring Karen (spricket24) as one of the intrepid lab assistants, and MrPregnant, who apparently does have limits on how much he'll sacrifice his dignity. More footage of the day coming soon!
Yes, I'm auditioned for a channel called SevenAwesomeTeens. No, I'm not a teenager. And no, I didn't make the cut. Check them out at:

P.S.: Can you hear the notes I'm trying to do at the end, or does it just sound like a bunch of clapping? Here's what I was going for:

Because what good is the Internet if we can't reveal humiliating stories to strangers?
P.S.: Bright light + Fine hair + Oily white skin = The baldest I've ever looked in my life
Here's a little more about why I started posting stuff on YouTube. It's a whole lot of misery, trying to fumble towards something vauguely profound. Good times.
(It's St. Isaac's, not St. Ivan's, by the way. Serves me right for not fact-checking to death for once!)
This picks up right where the last one left off. I kept it separate because of the magic 10-minute limit (I don't have a Director's account yet), and because this is the point where it becomes more about "funny voices" than accents.
A quick plug for freerice.com, that odd duck of a site that mixes hunger-solving activism with vocabulary building:

It's a great way to kill time, it can help with your communication skills, and it raises real money for a really important cause.
...or at least their titles do. It's just one of the many wonderful ways I try to rationalize my addiction.
Sorry for the glare/illegibility in a few places: lighting is hard.
