Additions to the site were made in Jan. 2008.
A trip to San Diego, recorded in Sept. 2006, and including Coronado Island, the Zoo, and Balboa Park museums. The video was completely captured into the computer, planned, edited, scored, rendered and uploaded to YouTube in one day.
A MikeVideo Internet Movie. This is the original ElvisMovies, a "trailer" for the more ambitious "Elvis Movies 2". An original "assemblage" type MikeVideo like in the 80s, but taken from digital Tivo images and input directly into the computer, this brings together footage culled from an Elvis marathon on TCM. Be sure and watch ElvisMovies 2

A compilation of scenes from early 30s Betty Boop cartoons, showcasing benchmarks of the Betty Boop series, including risque humor, Betty's singing performances, the emphasis on jazz music of the period for soundtracks, embodied by Cab Calloway among others, and the excellent animation including rotoscoped dancing and surrealist themes.
The biggest surf in two years hit SoCal on Wednesday, Dec. 5th, 2005. This is a look at the waves in parts of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, with surfing footage shot at Rincon Pt. and Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. Errata: All the dates/times in the video should read "pst" instead of "pdt".
