Back in July 06, I wanted to get more into video editing. I wanted to do more than just "watch again in slow motion." Sometime in early July, I was browsing GameSpot's Featured Videos page (if they decided to add user videos sooner than I started uploading videos at YouTube, I would have uploaded my videos here). I came across this hilarious video, by a user named noweb.basic, called How Not To Play Hitman.

The element he used was text in front of the video, while the video was in action… but Agent 41 wasn't actually talking… or else it would seem weird if he was talking to himself. The concept was interesting and I decided to use it in my video Jolly's Juice. You may see some comparisions in st yle but I'm no where near noweb.basic's level of video editing. Not yet, at least. 😉

Point of this blog, everything we do, we do for a reason. A kid who plays baseball in high school, he could be inspired by his dad, a professional baseball player, or maybe he wants to get chics. 😛 We just don't do stuff without a point or reason.
