That's hilarious! Good job, I won't show that to my kids!
Some titles are underlined so obviously those where not done in DS....
It takes a lot of courage to publicly admit doing such a video
masterpiece!
Maybe I'll do a "Quebecker" version where will cook a Poutine and make
it exploded!
Instead of Honey why not putting Maple Syrup?
;-)

Objet : Part-OT: Friday Fun alternate
Many years ago when I was still in high school, a friend heard that if
you
put a CD in a microwave that it gave quite a light show, like tinfoil.
He
was also moving out of his apartment and decided hey, if the microwave
breaks, oh well. So I grabbed my parent's giant VHS camcorder "just in
case" it did do something interesting.
To make a long story short, it did do something interesting, and being
that
we were all bored and had access to some other video equipment (a then
cutting-edge Video Toaster!) we later turned it into a short video,
called
Home Cookin'. Edited from VHS to S-VHS (ooooo!), the "script" was
written
on the fly... the most high-tech part was the audio, which was recorded
digitally.... at 12-bit! Mono of course, because the other channel was
occupied by the SMTPE timecode used to sync the audio system to the
master... which even bled into the final mix. This was a classy
production!
(We've since managed to dig up the original floppy disk backups of the
audio
files, and I re-mixed the whole thing sans timecode. Now we can call it
"digitally remastered" too!)
Fast forward 10 years and we finally did the sequel. And-- here's the
"Part-OT" bit-- it was even edited on DS :) Our production values
weren't
necessarily any higher, particularly to pay homage to our previous
effort,
but we at least upgraded from VHS to MiniDV.
Anyhow, a few more years later, we finally got our acts together and
have
unleased our masterpieces unto the world. You can see both videos
online at
http://home-cookin.com and hopefully at least get a chuckle or two.
