I'm pretty crazy aren't I? (btw, any idea why I can't embed the movies here? I thought I could.

Part 1

I used my iMac and iMovie to make it for a presentation I had to do for English teachers in Japan. The title was "Community Involvement in Japan". Basically I was just telling everybody what they could do to keep busy while being English teachers in Japan. I suck as a narrator, but I like the soundtrack a lot! Tell me what you think of it. I made everything with just a digital camera. I'm pretty psyched for having gotten it done in one night working 10 hours straight. :)

I actually did see this when you posted it, just forgot to reply. Sorry! It was cool. Makes me feel more comfortable about visiting Japan sometime.

Nice vids, weird music choices but it works.

Not nearly enough Samurai running around killing people for my liking, my illusions of Japan have been shattered.

So you DID like the samurai at the end part, right? And yeah, definitely weird music, but it's high energy, which was what I was trying to do (keep the pace of the movie the same as the music).
