Unfortunately, the second part is not available
Similar stories are constantly happening since chatting was programmed! I remember when cu z me (I am sure it’s misspelled, it’s been too long I can’t remember) came out with video chatting and these people started popping out looking for their ‘victims’. Today it’s even worse with so much technology. Got to be careful!

The cuts on the video where nice and helped to keep interest.

Hey Brooks,

At the end of the first video, it’s revealed that both guys are “dating” the same girl. The second video goes on to say what happened from there.

But you’re right, for some reason Current has taken down the second video. Maybe they’ll have it back up again soon.

The first video was great. I wonder how much time that took to put together. However, there was no “got to see it to believe it moment” in the first video. When I went to watch the second video – it was “no longer available”…so now I’m dying to know what happened?
So…what happened?
(You were right – good videos by the way…it felt just like watching real TV.)

Dave,

Thanks a lot for your response about h.264.

Recently I stumbled upon a few excellent educational sites like howcast dot com where small pieces of information are served in incredibly entertaining style like How to Use a Squat Toilet of How to Learn Abusive Chinese Watching Olympic Games. All of these episodes represent kind of a performance with actors playing along with tips and tricks (often very humorous).

Current TV is yet another and very persuasive example of what small studios or even individuals can do these days using skills and knowledge of video editing software.

I believe that the trend towards both educational and entertaining video will be used more and more not only in the Internet but also in brick-and-mortar TV (not sure whether I can use this adjective here). And your Web University course will greatly help people to produce these gems. I hope to take your course soon.

Alex.
