Little Red Riding Hood

I was alerted to this video today by Jeff Geerling, who runs the LOLSaints website. The video below is a visual re-interpretation of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. It’s a bit geeky, of course, but that’s why I like it.

What I’m interested in is how the visuals were produced. They are high-quality animated vectors and they look really great.

Fun for April Fool’s Day

I saw this video on the Curt Jester’s website. It’s a recording of the show “What’s my line?” when Bishop Fulton Sheen appeared on the program. Archbishop Fulton Sheen had one of the most popular shows on television in its early days, teaching the Catholic faith and getting enormous ratings. He truly was a pioneer when it came to engaging modern media.

Dodgeball at Nativity 2009

Nativity’s youth group is hosting a dodgeball night this Friday, March 27. They will be playing against St. Michael the Archangel’s youth group. As part of preparing for the event, Brian and I sat down and did some editing of a promo video that will show to the kids that evening. The video is designed to highlight “spiritual gifts” that people have in dodgeball.

Digital TV Transition

Don’t forget that the digital transition will be happening soon. This clip below still cracks me up!

Look Around You

I saw this post on the Wired blog recently. Apparently, there is a new show that is debuting tomorrow on Cartoon Network called “Look Around You.” The show is designed to poke fun at all the instructional videos from the 70s and 80s that were shown in schools. Below, you’ll find an excerpt of one that aired in Britain. I’m actually pretty interested to see how the US show stacks up to the British humor.
