Episode 6 features the exhibit being cleaned up and torn down. It didn't take too long at all and it was worth it to get it done earlier rather than procrastinating and putting it off. All in all, this was a fantastic year for the Spooky Walk; it made over $110,000 for the Camp which is outstanding. None of this could happen without the help of all of our friends and family so thank you to everyone who helped!

Peanut Butter Jelly Time was organized by Steve Bivona, and it's purpose was to bring people together to make PB&J sandwiches to be distributed to local homeless shelters! The goal was to make at least 400 sandwiches, and because of all the people that showed up to help, there were far more than 400 sandwiches by the end. It was very successful and it will hopefully become an annual thing and will get bigger each year!

I made this for my "Studio In Video Art" class. The assignment was to make a video with people writing on their hands about a certain topic, so I decded to make a short, sweet video summing up the year. My only regret is making it as short as I did, but it's okay. I still love how it came out! Make sure you pay attention from about :31 seconds to about :37 seconds. ;] In order of appearance: Taylor Sorice Alex Vizzi Jake Baldino Dan Stevens Jon Gergela Bryan McFadden Jon-Eric TJ Silon Steve Cerreta (Yes, that's him! ;]) Greg Holden Eric Reeve Mike James Petterson Kevin Finnerty Mr. Barbera Music: "Histrionics" by The Higher Thanks to everyone involved, I ended up loving how it came out! :]

The ORIGINAL "Audio Recovered" version of the "Insane Office Worker"! Now featured on Break.com, eBaumsWorld.com, and more! The above video of an office worker going completely insane surfaced redently, but there was no audio and no one knows what caused his wild outburst! I now present you with the audio that shows what caused this lunatic to flip out! ;D I had a really fun time making this, it came out alot better than I originally expected! I made it short because I didn't think people would want to see the entire thing redubbed, and I think it was a good idea hahah. x]

This is our Drivers Ed video project! It's a spoof on the cheesy old videos they force us to watch every week in the lecture class! I figured I'd throw it up for the hell of it, so here it is! :D We had to make a video about stuff we learned in Drivers Ed or we could write a report or bring in a guest speaker, but it was kind of expected that I would make a video haha. This isn't exactly what I'm turning in because there's a whole second half to it of questions we asked people outside in a parking lot, but it wasn't really funny so I cut it out for YouTube ;]

Okay so on Tuesday, May 6th we made this quickly when we randomly said "imagine if..." and started cracking up about the idea. I grabbed my camera, shot it quickly, edited it quickly, but then I didn't put it up here because I wasn't sure if it's just something my sister and I find hilarious. I decided I'll give it a try on here and see if you guys all like it! Music by Kevin Macleod

Originally walking through the cafeteria was not planned, but I was so pumped after doing the courtyards that I realized I NEEDED to walk back through the cafeteria. Thinking back now, I wish I had stopped and danced. I totally would have had I thought to do that, but it never even crossed my mind while walking through! Oh well, whatever! x] EXTREMELY special thanks to: Mr. Barbera, Joe Sergio, Eric Reeve, Jake Baldino, Kyle Fischbach, Kevin Spellman, April St. Angelo, Ethan Vogt Music: "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi

We started planning this a few weeks ago and were supposed to do it sooner, but people found out something was going to happen so I postponed it. We wanted people to be surprised! So we waited and did it on April 30th and no one had a clue anything was going to happen until it did! I made maps of where each camera operator was supposed to go and everything. This was my most organized project to date, it was crazy! :D EXTREMELY special thanks to: Mr. Barbera, Joe Sergio, Eric Reeve, Jake Baldino, Kyle Fischbach, Kevin Spellman, April St. Angelo, Ethan Vogt Music: "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi

Kevin and I went to New York City and while walking into Central Park we were offered to have caricatures drawn of us. Kevin decided to get a caricature done of him, which ended up being a mistake.
