RAWR! I hate asking for things of others. Loathe it, even. Wait... aren't they the same thing? Mehh... I need a background for a parody that I'm putting together. Okay... there's no super-secret project-ness here, I'm doing a parody of Ray William Johnson's show =3.
**side note... I just love how everyone calls it "Equals Three" (even Ray) but that emoticon is actually balls :D **
I could easily find a web image of it, copy it, photo-shop it a bit (which makes it mine once it's altered) then green screen it into my footage... but WHY?? Pardon the upcoming terminology, but if my parody isn't going to be completely "fake and gay" I need to do MY version of the show, and alter / exaggerate / spoof EVERYTHING in it. I thought this would be a great opportunity to get my subscribers involved! :D
The three videos that I will be reviewing in my spoof were all submitted to me by or made by my subscribers, so why shouldn't some of the set include them, too? Simple, if they're all down for it, it TOTALLY should!
What I've asked for in this video is some viewer artwork-- specifically torn out coloring book pages that have either been colored by a viewer or a viewer's child. I will also use original art if anyone wants to send some to me. Don't get the wrong idea... I'm not talking about an oil painting of "Yo Couch" that we're all supposed to f*ck, or even a watercolor of Antione Dodson telling off the rapist in Lincoln Park... Stick figures, construction paper shapes glued down, some rough sketch of something... it doesn't matter. And if Junior wants to draw a smiley face with his fat crayons and washable markers and send it on over, I will proudly display it in my parody and most likely in a future video :D
If I get enough artwork / coloring book pages for the background, then FANTASTIC! If not, then I will still feature them in upcoming videos and link up the art with a click-able linked annotation and a link in the description box ("The Jeans"). Maybe I'll make that feature a new little segment called "The Refrigerator" or something like that, and actually put the artwork on the fridge and take a still of it to show. I'm still developing that idea, so don't call it corny just yet. :P
I'm forever looking for ways to get everyone involved here, and trying to make my channel as interactive and subscriber-friendly as possible. That's what fuels my channel after all... viewer interaction. Really that's what got me started making and posting videos in the first place... a way to start a conversation with a new person to get to know. I am, after all, a social creature... so one should expect nothing less from my content I suppose.
Oh, and a little thank you to everyone who has sent me videos to look over and review :D I've got a little list that I'm pulling from, and I may change up the review show depending on how my RWJ parody goes over... I'm always trying to give my subscribers what they want to see, while still making videos that are fun for me to do... it's a tough balance sometimes, but I'm getting the hang of it. Evolution ftw!
