A Child's Attempt at Music Videos

So... I have a confession to make. I used to have a YouTube account where I would make children's videos using my stuffed animal Webkinz. Webkinz were this special brand of toy that a lot of kids were into at the time. I used the stuffed animals as puppets and made evangelical films, TV series, stop motions, and... yes... even music videos. I wasn't the only kid on YouTube to do stuff like this, though. There are HUNDREDS of Webkinz Music Videos out there and all of them have a unique spin that the original music videos never had! And that is... it's acted out by stuffed animals.

Every couple of weeks a new Webkinz music video would be posted online. Sometimes they were good and sometimes they were horrendously edited with terrible video quality. But what do you expect? These were young kids with a cell phone. My most popular Webkinz music video is entitled "When I Go" and it earned 18,000 views (so far) with 250 "likes". It's not my best work since I made it 3 years ago when I only had Windows Movie Maker and a crappy camcorder, but nevertheless it spoke to a lot of people. It just goes to show that even the simplest things can make a difference in someone's life.

Now I just have to warn everyone who is reading this post: if you find my old YouTube page and say to yourself, "Hey, I might as well watch some of these!" BEWARE! Some of the videos, for lack of a better word, suck. The editing is awful, every bit of dialogue is improvised (and not in a good or funny way... in a boring way), the story is bad and the characters are bland. If you really want to watch any of my old, old, OLD videos, I suggest just watching the music videos, newer stop motions, and movie trailer re-enactments. Those are always entertaining and fun to watch.
