Video description: What happens to the young lady taking photographs as part of a class assignment on self portraiture? In still photography, 35mm film comes in up to 36 frames on a roll of film. Frame 37 is an extra frame. If you are careful when you load the film, you may get more than 36 images on a single roll. In this case, "Frame 37" represents a frame of film the young lady never took yet still shows up on the roll. Be prepared for "Frame 37". This was my second ever short video/film. Please also look for "Secrets". Enjoy.

"Angry Kid" series 2: Tourette's

Angry Kid can't stop blurting out obscenities. Is he suffering from an ailment, or just foolin' dear old dad? Watch and listen to a string of dirty words like you've never heard before. Angry Kid speaks out! From Aardman Animations, home of Wallace and Gromit and one of Britain's biggest film production companies, comes more of the anarchic, irreverent, and frequently stubborn Angry Kid. A mixture of live action and animation, this youth is definitely NOT suitable for family viewing.More than ten million people gagged along with the first Angry Kid series, and now the brat is back with grosser, cruder and edgier humor.Angry Kid is not claymation, but a combination of pixilation, mask replacement and live action. It involves taking a live actor, sitting perfectly still and being moved like a puppet, while masks are replaced, to give the effect of speech and shot frame by frame. It doesn't really have a name - Darren Walsh invented it!

"Secrets"

We all have secrets. Some of us can live with ours. This is the short story of a young woman who can no longer live with her secret. A few drinks after work, a bicycle and a mistaken identity. Eventually, we all face our secrets. "Secrets" is my first short video/film ever. After nearly 25 years in Broadcasting, I decided to write, shoot and edit my own short videos. Spurred on by the short video contest "DVChallenge" at DVInfo.net, I shot a short dark video as my first creation. I was lucky enough to work for a broadcast equipment company a short time ago and was able to buy some great professional DVCam equipment, which I recently began to put to use. "Secrets" won 1st place in DVChallenge 2. I am particularly proud of this, as it was my first effort. Some could argue that 25 years in broadcasting helped and I would agree. On the other hand, in broadcasting, one person nearly never does all the jobs of writing, shooting, editing, DP, LD and so on. My videos to date have had a crew of exactly one, me. So far, I like it that way. As the complexity level in future videos rises, I will be seeking help for various roles. Also look for my even darker short called "Frame 37", created for DVChallenge 3. I hope you enjoy "Secrets". You can find out more information on what I do at http://www.DeepBlueEdit.com Thanks for watching, Sean McHenry

"Angry Kid" series 2: Sex Call

A call to a phone sex line results in talk about "choppers" and "gear knobs" and "horns." But are they referring to the same thing? Angry Kid speaks out! From Aardman Animations, home of Wallace and Gromit and one of Britain's biggest film production companies, comes more of the anarchic, irreverent, and frequently stubborn Angry Kid. A mixture of live action and animation, this youth is definitely NOT suitable for family viewing. More than ten million people gagged along with the first Angry Kid series, and now the brat is back with grosser, cruder and edgier humor.
