So by random chance I was finishing through some boxes and found an old, beat up VHS with the words "Goodbye Mr. Bear" scribbled on it. I had completely forgotten about this, but for awhile growing up I had a Tyco video camera-- a black and white toy video camera that is operated entirely with the VCR (it uses no tape). As a young aspiring film director, I got my brother's involved and shot our first and only surviving movie.

I just posted it. Let me know what you think... I'm the manic, bumbling "good guy" and my younger brother is the insane "bad guy" with my youngest kid brother being a hostage along with his friend..... enjoy O_O

I love it.
And it's well-suited to black and white, I think. Quite powerful - and the emotion is actually really good. The disgust at this dastardly villain's foul deeds is brillianty conveyed and hilarious. And the brutal fate of Mr. Bear is difficult viewing indeed.
That was fantastic. "Everybody is sad... and moaning." Little did you imagine then that this would be seen by millions of people on the Internet (well, 85 so far, but potentially....).
