Star Wars: Luke's Misadventure
Approximate Film Date: January 1987
Along the road to updating all my old footage, I came across another stop-motion attempt. After a substantial amount of work I was able to repair it into this ridiculous homage to Star Wars. Salvaging this bit of lost footage was a whole adventure in itself, as the original video cassette tape snapped off of the reel many years ago and I had to crack the casing open and tape it back together before being able to transfer it to digital footage.
For better or worse, this animated skit is the outcome. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's quick and painless and shouldn't embarrass anyone else other than me - except for maybe George Lucas or Mark Hamill if they ever were to see it.
Enjoy!

Hawaii: Senior Trip 1989 [Edited Version]
Film Date: February 1989
In February of 1989, Sean Callaghan, Jonathan Lee, Anthony Vitale, and I journeyed to Hawaii as our Senior Trip. This is the edited version of that video.
The first section is set to the song Paradise City by Guns & Roses and functions as a highlight real of the whole trip.
The second section is set to the Hawaii 5-0 Theme and captures the day we spent at Hanauma Bay. Here youll witness what was certainly the most dangerous moment of the trip. The underground tunnel we swim through was totally submerged and required some fighting against the current to reach the end. Reading about how many people have drowned attempting the same feat in this now closed off section of the bay always makes me feel a little unsettled.
The third and final section is set to the late Israel Kamakawiwooles rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World. It includes some of the more pensive moments and beautiful shots recorded on the vacation.
In all, the video is an ode to friendship, and Im proud to say that weve maintained that friendship over the course of our lives.")
