Thanks for the acknowledgment. I do have to say, that making these videos is tremendous fun for exactly the reason you postulate. I basically "go for it" and then we see what "sticks" and throw out the rest. Also, I am always looking for a different angle to shoot them; props, backdrops, set pieces that can help me poke fun at the customers and of course myself, and possibly find a character. We never have a script. Right before we shoot, and I mean right before, the photographer/director tells me what information he wants included, and as I said, we just go for it. Doing it this way is does make for more spontaneity, and FUN!; which is the reason why I like to do this work in the first place... Cheers, matteo Hey Terry!
