Wow...that would be interesting. "I hereby sentence you to only use 320x480 clips on HD screens for the rest of your life..." @Ian: Awesome bro! It's great to read you did all that, and how that ties into what you're doing now. It's funny; I learned to type so fast by playing computer games as a kid and having to use cheat codes sometimes just in the nick of time before I lost... And I have now revealed my full nerd. @proctor: I judge huh?! Wow…that would be interesting. “I hereby sentence you to only use 320×480 clips on HD screens for the rest of your life…”

I once found this round shaped rock and painted an eye on it . . . my mom though it looked a little evil but she let me keep it. I painted on the walls of our root cellar, I painted most of my toys, I painted just about everything I could get my hands on . . . except paper or canvas. I didn’t like to take a blank page and make a picture, I liked to take what was there and accentuate it. I use to do stop motion animations with legos all the time too. I would freak out my neighbors kids by hooking my grandfathers old shoulder mounted video camera to the co-ax cable tv outside their house. Then their parents would make sure the TV was on ch. 3 (they would also make sure that they kids were down stairs to see the strange ‘live news story’ on TV) and I would hide the camera across the yard in a tree pointing to the outside of their house. We did this twice before the kids rounded up enough courage to go outside and look to see what was going on. Remember, this was like 1990 or so . . . so video cameras weren’t all the common yet. I use to collect strangely shaped bottles (of different colors) and with different colored liquids in them and put them in my windows. I loved the colored light coming through. I use to program adventures and self destruct programs in BASIC on my dad’s Atari ST computer. I also learned to spell by playing Space Quest 1 and Kings Quest 1. I've always loved light. I started messing with sound because the sound guy at my old church needed some help in the sound booth (and I needed something to keep my mind occupied so I could focus during service lol). In college I was majoring in Lighting and Sound design for Theatre. I took several senic design and senic painting classes too. Now I'm incharge of the lighting, sound, video, and IT at my church. So that kind of has to do with the stuff I did as a kid. Well I use to paint all kinds of things when I was a kid.
