Thank You, YouTube

Wow....things have been pure madness over the past month since I've gotten into school.

I had a pretty cool development that I wanted to share with you all. Thanks to YouTube (not the company, but in general, the platform), I was offered a contract job to shoot a commercial for my old accounting company.  I'm not sure if I'm allowed to discuss the strategy etc, but essentially, me and my team have been given our first opportunity to shoot a professional video and we have a REAL budget to work with!

If it wasn't for the digital revolution and YouTube, I'm not sure that I would have ever gotten an opportunity like this. I have to say, I'm pretty damn stoked. For the past month, we've just been storyboarding, producing the song, writing lyrics and coming up with shot ideas.  It's been hectic, but its an awesome learning experience at the same time.

Looks like this might be a viable side business for me and my buddies if we do good on this initial video.  I'll be sure to link everyone when we are done with the project!

In other news, McKayla Maroney is NOT impressed with any of my videos.  Can't make everyone happy I guess:

She told me to win a gold medal and then we could talk about impressive talents.
