Hello gang, sorry about not having any new videos for a while, but I have been INSANELY busy lately. First off, in northern Maine around this time is year is fiddlehead season, and my family and I pick a lot of fiddleheads, so that consumes a lot of my time. Also, I am going to the prom (tomorrow, actually), so I've also been spending time getting ready for that. And finally, since I was gone on my trip to Ireland, I fell a little behind in school, so whatever time I had left was being spent on catching up with that.
Don't fret though: I was actually reminded to make a post in the blog because I was starting to edit a video. I thought it would be a good idea to keep whoever actually reads this updated while I wait for my video clips to import into iMovie. So, I will be working on that video; it shouldn't take too long for me to finish. All right, that's all I have, have a good one, gang.
P.S. - Check out this video I made during my Ireland trip when we stopped in Philadelphia:
"Running Up the Rocky Steps"

Back from Ireland/Video update
Hey all, I have returned from Ireland, and the trip was GREAT. I saw an Eric Clapton concert (pretty much the reason for the trip) that it was UNBELIEVABLE (hang on, I think my CAps lOck is bRokEn... OK, got it). I took some great videos of the show, and great photos. Here are some of the best pictures I took:
Yeah, I'm a pretty good photographer. Also, I'll post a video I took of "I Shot the Sheriff" in a little bit. EDIT: Here it is:
While in Ireland/Philadelphia (we stopped there too)/airplanes, I filmed a video, so I will work on that. There is a lot of dubbing in the video, so give me a few weeks to work on that. Also, Kjetil will make 1 or 2 videos I believe, so I'll keep you updated on those. Have a good one, gang.

Trip to Ireland/new video(s) soon
Hello everybody, a little update. I will be leaving to go to Ireland on Saturday, along with my uncle, my cousins (including video collaborator Kjetil), and my brother. Naturally, Kjetil and I will use this opportunity to make at least one video, so in about a week or two, expect something having to do with Ireland up on the blog and on YouTube. I also fostered a few other new ideas that I want to develop, so I still have much more to do. Alright, that's all I got for now.

First two videos/other news and ramblings
I finally completed the first two FaceHead videos. I put the finishing touches (mixing and timing the music and the overdubs, etc.) on both of them and uploaded them last night. I would provide direct links in this post, but YouTube is blocked at my school (where I am currently writing this from), so I will give each video an individual post later, but for now, you can just go to the FaceHeadVideo YouTube page and access them there.
The first video I uploaded is called "Vote for Me." It is a campaign video for Tom Perkins' bid for class President against Kevin. The second video I uploaded is titled "Mother's Day Tips." It is pretty self descriptive, as it is a funny video offering you tips on how to make your mothers feel appreciated on Mother's Day.
I also would like to tell you about how I am (kind of) connected to two of my video-making idols, Luke Barats and Joe Bereta of Barats and Bereta fame. About two years ago or so, I found myself with some rare content made by Luke and Joe Bereta that was not available on YouTube (or anywhere else that I could find). So, I created a YouTube account, baratsandberetarare, to give these videos an online home. Every so often, I would gain access to a new video, put it up, and it would get a pretty decent amount of views. Every now and then, Luke and Joe would have a problem with some of the videos I put up, saying that they were not satisfied with them or that they were ideas currently being developed by them, so I took them down. Since, we have sent a few messages back and forth. It is an honor to be in contact with Luke and Joe, because I look upon them so highly.
Some of the videos on baratsandberetarare have gained some popularity and have garnered a decent number of views. That inspired me to start making videos myself. I am good at writing and I'm told that I'm pretty funny, so I thought I could make a decent filmmaker as well. Right now, I am working with pretty amateur equipment, but I plan to invest some time and money improving that. When I come into more money (which oughta be happening soon), I plan on purchasing a decent camera (maybe one of those Flip video cameras: I've seen video taken with those and it looks pretty good, and the camera is only about $200), a tripod and maybe some lighting.
So anyways, go watch the first two videos at http://www.youtube.com/faceheadvideo and if you like them, please subscribe and tell everybody you've ever met in your entire life about my videos.
