After a frustrating day at the office, it feels good to go make something that simply works.
(playing with a bunch of ultra-bright LEDs doesn’t hurt either)

MAKE:Video – A Date with Peggy
great video collin!
Awesome….again!
this is the coolest thing ive seen in weeks, colin you rox!
especially when you nodded off for a sec…I thought at the end there would be a shapely “Peggy” formed by the LED’s.
@Kip – ha good idea! (sounds like you should make one next)
Hate to intrude on the meeting of the Mutual Admiration Society…
Nice advert, marginal post. Looks like an in house crowd of cheerleaders.
@Limor……best in weeks?!? I thought the life of an appliance tech was slow.
I’m gonna watch it again before posting this to see what I missed…Done.
OK…well done ad. The music- it has ‘grown’ on me- who is that?
(once again…”text entered wrong”..WHAT *** TEXT?!? Try again…)
@Volkemon – I did the music as well
I’m with Volkemon regarding the mutual admiration bit. And I’m not a big fan of the creeping advertising here either.
Though I have to say, Collin’s videos are really quite excellent on the whole. Stylistically, they remind me of Bre’s videos, but I got the sense from other videos that Collin’s alignment is more chaotic-evil (where Bre would have been chaotic-good). It’s a welcome sign that he is himself — I like Colin because he comes across as genuine, weird, and interesting.
Kip, I’m sure you’re a hell of a nice guy, but the square disco-floor twinkly music intro at the beginning of your weekend project clips is at least 5 seconds too long and is not quite cheesy enough to be appreciated for camp value. It is not in the spirit of what makes this site great. Find a shorter, more interesting music clip. Make a shorter, more creative intro that takes some risks!
I think you have responded to forum feedback and your videos have gotten better since you started. But from where I sit, it seems that Collin’s already got you pretty much beat in the on-camera department. And it’s not because he’s better looking.
Peace.
@Collin- Impressive. I’m sure that a music major would find fault, but it strikes a chord (sorry!) with me. The fact that you MAKE the music youself… nice touch.
Don’t really know about that Bre-good you Evil thing however….
Anyhoo…maybe it’s the ‘dark mystery look’ in your avatar…didn’t you have a different one before?
Now…if I can get this posted without entering text wrong..What text? Who knows…
(#2)nope. “Text entered was wrong. Try again.” At least I know to use the ‘back’ arrow, not return to the post link. Don’t have to type it all again…
@Constant Reader – which video of bre’s do you think is “stylistically” like this one?
