GOVERNMENT MOMENT

All I knew was that I wanted to have a pie in my video. I had a script for the previous weeks' suggestion of the word "SCIENCE", and that script involved a pie... (but I didn't find time to shoot that one) ...so my challenge was to work a pie into the suggestion of "GOVERNMENT ISSUED HOLIDAYS"

UNDERSTANDING AMERICAN POLITICS

"POLITICS" - February 4th 2011

After a couple of months off, I wanted to come back with something good and different and I hadn't made a "cut and paste' film in a while. I knew I wanted Godzilla in the film, so it was a perfect fit with the word suggestion of "POLITICS".

NO BIG DEAL

"BIG DEAL" - November 26th 2010

The word suggestion was "BIG DEAL". I did not have time to shoot and or edit this film. But my cousin Alex was eager to help me out on something so I just jumped into it and I was looking for a reason to drop something on my head.

KETCHUP FAIL

"KETCHUP" - November 5th 2010

The word suggestion was "KETCHUP", and I wanted to do a silent film at some point and I wanted to throw something out into cyber-space with the word FAIL in the title and some sort of disgusting content to see what might happen.

2 MINUTES

"GIRLFRIEND" - October 29th 2010

The word was "GIRLFRIEND" and this idea hit me immediately... I just wanted to tell the truth with a quick comedic turn.

SOMEONE STOLE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

"LIBERTY" - October 22nd 2010

The word suggestion was "LIBERTY". Matthieu and I just went outside and improvised wherever we were and with whatever we had. It is definitely one of the strangest videos I've ever made.

ACHOO

"ALLERGIC" - October 15th 2010

I wanted to do something simple. The word suggestion was "ALLERGIC", and immediately I thought about capturing real sneezes of film. So yes they are all very real sneezes.

ME AND MY CAMERA

"SWEAT PANTS" - September 17th 2010

At first I wasn't going to submit anything... But then I just got to it... And it's true I dont own any "SWEAT PANTS".

WORLD'S BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE

"SQUID" - September 10th 2010

Matthieu Disna approached me about doing a funny video about work and customer service. He had a script written, and I tweaked it a little to get the word suggestion of "SQUID" into the story.

CONAN AND THE SHADOW KING

"SHADOW" - August 20th 2010

This was the first Second City 7 Day Short that I was involved with. The word suggestion was "SHADOW". Mike Cameron, of Spirit Guide Productions, and I, worked together with an homemade $20 green screen and improvised the film.
