Wow just uploaded a new video to YouTube. I had a lot of fun making it, and learned a lot about my new video editing software, Sony Vegas.
This will be the first HD video I've uploaded to YouTube, so I hope it turns out okay! I shot the video with my new HD Canon camera. Its a Vixia HV30 and I love it!
The video is a parody of those travel commercials you see on TV. I thought it would be funny if I made one about my home town Crab Orchard Ky. I know it would never get a real travel video, it is such a small town. I think there are less than 1,000 people living there.
The video features my cousin James Hendrickson, my nephew Devin Richmond, my dad Ansel Petrey, my sister Marie Richmond, and one of my dads friends named "Bud". I don't know his real name. He is kinda quite.

Wow, I've won 2 contest this week. For the first contest I made a video (embedded below) of me dancing like Woz for a contest. The contest was just to make a video helping promote Steve Wozniak on Dancing with the Stars. It was set up by @VoteWoz on Twitter, and the prize was an autographed iWoz book.  So I decided to dance! I could not find a pink feather boa like Woz used in his first dance, so I had to use a pink scarf instead (props to my friend West for telling me what a boa is LOL) I had a lot of fun editing it, and its already got over 100 views! I hope it gets honors! So if you have not already take a look at it,  rate it, and comment! The second contest was a lot easier. I just had to @reply on tweeter with a certain hash tag, and I won a BrightKite T-shirt! The contest was for SxSW. I can't wait to get my prizes! I'll be sure to make a video of that to!

VoteWoz also put my video on the site VoteWoz.com! Heres a pic:

As I write this post, I'm uploading a new video to YouTube. It's the biggest (as in file size) video I have uploaded yet. Its almost half a gig, and it is taking hours (literally) to upload. The video is probable the craziest video I have ever uploaded. I think it even tops my "Crazy Insane Birdman Video"! The videos actually just a video of me, my friend West,  my Dad, and our dog Jackie, driving down the road in my Dad's truck. I made the video earlier this year, while we were moving. We were moving the same time, as an ice storm was hitting us here in Kentucky. I know not the best time to be moving, but oh, well. I'll embed the video below, when its done uploading. If its ever done! BE WARNED, THIS VIDEO DOES INVOLVE ME SINGING!

I just got done editing, and uploading a video me, and my friend Treyjon made while we where bored last Friday. Its a quick video, with my friend swinging a light saber of his, in the dark. I spend about an hour editing it, but it only took about 2 mins. to shot :). I was just experimenting with different effects, and put a lot of different effects into it, and I think it turned out very will. The audios a little out of sync in parts of it, but over all its pretty cool (I didn’t fell like spending 4 hours on it :P). Anyway I hope you like it, its not very long, but its still cool, and I had fun shooting and editing it.

A video I made a while ago, and never got around to uploading it. I hope you like it. My sister is in it, she is playing Guitar Hero on the Wii, and my Nephew is the one shouting strange phrases from the bathroom.
