Back in high school, my friend David and I used to borrow his parents’ video camera and make creative videos as a way to pass time, have fun and learn how to edit.

Actually, “make” creative videos might not be as accurate as “thinking about making” creative videos. A lot of times we would be hanging out at his house and have the following conversation:

Dave: “Dude, we should make a video.”
Me: “Yeah, definitely.”
Dave: “Do you have any ideas?”
Me: “No, you?”
Dave: “No.”
Me: “Cool.”

We would look around the room and flip through TV channels looking for inspiration, and sometimes, as in the case I’m about to show you, we could come up with a concept we thought we could actually pull off.

This video I believe was done during our senior year of high school. I’m pretty sure about the high school part, and based on my car I walk by in the beginning and my seeming lack of braces, that timeline would fit. It would also make it one of the first videos we edited in Adobe Premiere, which has been used for the majority of what I’ve shared here.

Without further ado:



Don’t worry, mom. Unloaded BB gun.
