Can he save the world?

Silk Milk
This is probably my most famous of all my videos. It's a music video for a song I made Thanksgiving '08 with my uncle Alan's Mac. I filmed this actual video the night after my PLAR Commercial presentation (Sometimes you can see my name tag I wore). That's in early 2009.
It's only on the Internet because I like to embarrass myself.
Yeah, it sucks, but I recorded it completely with the Mac Mic. Eugh...
Starring:
TinDefacto (Sebastian) - Horrible Singer
Emma - Protective Cookie Girl
Afterward, there's some bloopers and stuff.
So, my uncle's friend put it on his blog. I think he liked it, but I really can't be sure...
Here's a screenshot (the page number keeps changing)

Billies B & G: BF's Forever
This is my epic little series of ten episodes, each about a minute long. For the seven last ones, VATS3 (Chris) came and helped out.
Anyways, Billy B and Billy G are best friends - until a chair comes in between them. But, when one breaks into the other's house, they're pretty good friends again - until someone wants revenge...
Starring:
TinDefacto (Sebastian) - Billy G
Emma - Billy B
VATS3 (Chris) - Billy S
This is probably the best thing I've made so far. I really hope you enjoy it. Also, after the movie, there's bloopers and behind-the-scenes stuff - and the trailer!
I'm thinking of making a sequel series - it would work pretty well considering the end of this one, huh?

The Tonight Show With James Zimmerman
This is like a comedy news broadcast. I am James Zimmerman.
Episode 1:
This was filmed on a whim at my friend Ethan's b-day party. Ethan and his brother, Jeremy (also my friend) had me and two others over: Chris W (not VATS3) and Chris R (once again, not VATS3, who is Chris C). This is my favorite of the three we've made so far.
The two commercials were filmed months later at Jeremy's birthday party, where he invited me and his friend Grayson over.
If you are Scandinavian, we have an interview with Über Fläägen Däägen. Don't get offended; Ethan and Jeremy are both actually Swedish. And I know Über is German.
Ethan's little brother, Brandon, and his little sister, Kaitlin, are also in here.
This is in two parts since the whole is almost fourteen minutes long.

Ethan - Dr. Proctor; Über Fläägen Däägen; Jim

The Attack Of The Killer Hamster
This is the first movie that we ever made. A giant axe fell on a lumberjack station, beheading a scientist and turning him into a zombie. That zombie turned a hamster into a human, and now that human is bloodthirsty...
Starring:
VATS3 (Chris) - The Killer Hamster
Emma - Reporter
TinDefacto (Sebastian) - Victim 1
Maura - Victim 2
Jimmywa (Jimmy) - Victim 3
After this, there's Emma's original 'broadcast' and some bloopers / behind-the-scenes stuff.

Peace Like A River Commercial
This was a project that Forrest and I made for GT. We created a commercial for the book by Leif Enger.
IMPORTANT:
The real script is at the bottom of the screen; Forrest plays an incompetent actor who takes things too literally and answers questions honestly (for comical effect).
Starring:
Forrest - Hopeless Soul
Sebastian - Ben Marten
Afterward, there's the presentation (I mess up), bloopers and behind the scenes stuff.

Fowler Middle School Jazz Concert March 7, 2009
This was a concert that FMS Jazz II played. I'm the horrible drummer. We play "Ants In The Pants" and "Drama For Your Mama".
Emma recorded it. Funny thing - she filmed the intro, then stopped it. The first song starts with a drum fill, a pause, and then the song starts. Emma started filming again right in the pause, and was holding it close to the same place as where she stopped. Therefore, you can barely tell that something's missing. If you didn't know the song, you wouldn't be able to guess that there was ever a fill!
Starring (amongst others):
TinDefacto (Sebastian) - Drummer

Scaredy Squirrel: Aloud And... Werid
Well, Emma told me to get out my video camera and this short
unfunny improv thing happened. She read me the book Scaredy Squirrel.
It's cut in the middle because our mom came in and told us to stop
yelling. It's not that funny, but Emma begged me to put it on YouTube, which makes it official, so, here it is.

Super Monkey Ball
These are replay collections. This game is an awesome game. You're a monkey in a ball. What could be more fun? I have Super Monkey Ball Deluxe for PS2 and Super Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube. Some more might come later. I also might add competitions between VATS3 (Chris) and I.
