Sunday Matinee

Posted on August 23, 2009 | 10 Comments

Okay, so this isn’t so much of a matinee as a newsreel… but it was a ton of fun to make.

This is a promotional video for the livestream channel “Suburban Wow”, hosted by WeaselMomma and Melisa with one S (from World of Weasels and Suburban Scrawl, respectively).

They had a “contest” calling for all of us bloggy types to come up with a promo video for them. This is my shot at it, coming from my own bizarre but entirely g-rated sense of humor.

Enjoy!

    Oh My God!(and that is not even taking the Lord's name in vein, cause I try not to roll that way, but this is in gratitude and awe). This is fantastic! Thank you! I love it! I mean really love it and can't stop watching it. I am totally wowed! You rock!

    That was great! I've been out of it for a bit. I'll have to hunt down the other videos.

    Well done Tom.

    Tom, I just watched this over at Suburban Wow. I can't tell you how impressed I am! It's incredibly creative and I love the announcer voice and all the 50s footage. Over at Suburban Wow I said you are totally awesome and totally rock. I'm glad I could repeat myself here!

    Seriously! We hadn't even announced a contest yet, but you totally won something. I don't know what yet, but WM and I will figure it out. I can't even imagine how much time and effort you put into this, and we both appreciate it SO MUCH.

    The danger of being this talented? We'll probably call on you for more projects. haha

    And thanks SO MUCH also to Michael's Mommy! MWAH!

    Absolutely Brilliant!

    @Anon — Thank you! I don't know when the contest is over; I think it's ongoing.

    @WeaselMomma — I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the kind words.

    @Chuck — Thanks! Glad you're checking in.

    @Surprised — Thank you! It probably shows that I like to ham it up.

    @Melisa — Bring 'em on. Can't guarantee results like this one every time, but I'll do what I can. I passed your thank you on to Michael's Mommy; she's amazingly supportive of my weird endeavors.

    @OhCaptain — Thank you!

    @Strange Mamma — Thanks!

    This? Is all kinds of awesome! You outdid yourself…and anyone else who even thought about trying!

    @Momo — thank you! I hope there are more entries, though – my wish is to inspire. There are so many angles this promo could come from.
