Agent Anachronism Reviews: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

As it is my want, instead of catching up on my TRAGICALLY BEHIND NaNo word count(BLEH I'LL DO IT TOMORROW /WHINING), I instead FINALLY uploaded the "pilot" episode of an internet review series I came up with, thanks to all the time I've been spending over at That Guy With the Glasses, and the work I've done with Lindsay for her own reviews over there.

The opening blurb explaining the premise?

Agent Anachronism from E.V.E.N. reporting for duty!

For reasons too dark and time-consuming to mention here, it is my job to debrief you on the entertainment and cultural phenomena of the Retro Age (i.e. 1950-1975).

My first mission: A review of the hit 1960's spy show, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."!


Part One:


Part Two:



So, give them a watch! Feedback--as ever--is appreciated, and is considered to be a vital tool in the fight against the O.D.D.!! ;)

Oh, and OF COURSE, feel FREE to pimp this to everyone and anyone. *WHISTLES INNOCENTLY*


...now, if only NaNo wasn't so difficult to defeat...

Also also OMG SO AWESOME It makes me want to make videos of some sort - how did you film it? What was the process like?

What kind of character can I do? ^___^;;

Heh a word of warning--it is addicting!

Well I filmed using a wee flip camcorder and a tripod. It took me 6 freaking hours because the camcorder wee though it was picked up the sound of the planes flying over head and other noise issues out of my control. Ah at least I have a bloopers reel in theory. Also, a written script with all the angles you want and seperate takes You'll want penciled in is a godsend, as is multiple takes for editting later.

And in regards to what sort of character--well, figure out what you want to review in the first place and use that for inspiration! And also, stick to a persona you're comfortable playing!

...you know for someone who is a regular n00b at this, I certainly had an awfully lot to say on the matter. ^_^;;;

I don't have a camcorder, but I do have a camera, but I could always borrow my mother's camcorder... Hmmm, how did you edit it? What program did you use?

I'm not sure if I want to review for anything, I just kinda what to play a character.

Iwas using windows movie maker but my bro managed to find me a copy of Sony vegas for free. But windows movie maker is fine for just starting and it came with my last two comps for free! Otherwise ask around fandom vidders see what they use.
