  1. Here's an interesting article that talks about the history and reutrn of Skee-lo. I had no idea why he bowed out of the game until now. It's not too long of a read, but it's interesting. I hope we see some good things from him.

    Excerpt (full article at the link):

    "I retired five months after it was released," Skee-Lo says, drinking coffee at the Denny's on Crenshaw and 37th, a few blocks from the home he shares with his wife and two children. "Not only did my label [sunshine] take credit for producing 'I Wish,' they took all the profits. So I refused to shoot any more videos, promote or record music. I'm not their slave. I wasn't working for free."

  2. Thanks Victor! I appreciate it man.


    I liked this one Chris! Especially the quick cut section! A great poke at the numerous videos that are like that on YouTube. What sort of process do you go through when making these videos? Are they all planned or completely off the cuff?


    Thanks Brakes! With most of my videos I will be writing ideas down for a few days. I will always come up with things on the spot when filming, but I did that a lot with this video. This video was made pretty quickly actually. I got the whole thing done in 2 days. I had fun with it.
  3. Thanks for the feedback, AJ! I appreciate you checking it out. Do you still have that video of yours that you're talking about?

    I see what you're saying about the serious/funny aspect. The overall intention of these videos is to be funny without going out of my way to wink at the camera, so to speak. With this one, I added a lot of my own self-criticisms into the script. I realized that it was getting a bit heavy near the end, but I was able to come up with a way to end it on a happier/funnier note.

    Thanks again for watching!

  4. Oh yeah, I knew going into it that this would probably get less view than most of my videos, despite requiring much more work and time. One of the original reasons for making this video was to come up with content I could put into an acting reel.

    Still though, you just want to see reactions when you put this much work into something.

  5. HELLO ALL! After months of work (writing script, filming, lots of driving, money, etc.), I have finally finished my latest video. And I would like to share it with the world. I am well-aware of its flaws. These things become more obvious when you use people that don't love or have the patience for acting/film making. However, this is the biggest project I've ever put together and there's a lot in there that I'm proud, despite some of its rough edges. Hope you guys like it:




    I'm sorry it's so long, but that's why I'm calling it a "short film" after all. Comments are greatly appreciated!
