Live Action Finding Nemo

I have always LOVED the Pixar animated film, "Finding Nemo." I love it so much that I have memorized most of the script. So, I just HAD to create some of my favorite scenes in a live action version - especially the ones featuring Dory, Marlin, Bruce, Nemo, Crush, Anchor & Chum. You can go directly to the video by clicking here or watch it below.


I had such a great time create these characters, that I decided to cosplay Dory. Here is a picture taken at VidCon that Pixar featured on their Instagram page. Last time I looked, it had over 39K likes.






Jack Jack Attack - The Incredibles - Live Action

I've always loved the Pixar animated movie, "The Incredibles." It is, well, incredible. But any real fan of that movie is also a fan of the short "Jack Jack Attack" that was released with the DVD.

I've watched this short so many times that I memorized the script. Well, since I already knew my lines, I decided to make a live action video of the short where I (of course) play all the parts.

Here are two versions of this video. The first is the live action Jack Jack Attack by itself.


The second includes an inset of the original video.

Remembering when I first met Lin-Manuel Miranda

Little did I know when I first met Lin-Manuel Miranda that I was standing next to a future Pulitzer Prize winner. I love this man's work. Can't wait to see Hamilton when it comes to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, I'm working on a fun Hamilton video. Just you wait.

What's it like to be a YouTuber? (SCVTV news feature)

I absolutely LOVE this video about my life as a YouTuber by journalist, Taylor Villanueva, that was aired on SCVTV News.

I think that Ms. Villanueva really captured what it is like to be a YouTube creator. What do you think?

On set of Con Man with Alan Tudyk

Yep. That lovely gal that you saw while watching Con Man that you thought looked like me, was actually me. Yep. That was me - up close and personal with Alan Tudyk.

A wonderful and fun experience for a nerd like me. And, I got to let the world see me cosplaying as my favorite Agent - Peggy Carter.

Sitting on an Epic knee

Oh yes, it's true, I'm a bunny and so are you. Yep, that's me sitting on the lap of Epic Meal Time creator, Harley Morenstein. And yep, Harley is indeed, dressed in a big bunny outfit with a pink dot on his nose. Nope, he didn't offer me a bacon and egg sandwich. :( But, he did admire my bunny ears. (on set: VGHS)


Do you love Epic Meal Time? My bro made a bacon weave for his 21st birthday and Harley tweeted him a Happy B'day Bro. Nice. Harley is REALLY tall and kind of scarey but I think he is a cuddly bear inside. Kisses to you, Harley.

Interviewing Michael "Frosti" Zernow at ComicCon2014

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Michael "Frosti" Zernow (Ubisoft's Chief Parkour Officer) at the Assassin's Creed Experience at ComicCon2014.

Michael's background includes the fact that he was the youngest person to ever be a competitor on CBS's "Surviver" series and the fact that he is one of the longest practicing parkour athletes in the world. His bio does not include the fact that he is also an uber-nice guy who wants to help people get more physically fit.

Micheal is a member of my favorite Freerunning team - Team Tempest!! You can learn lots more about Frosti, his team and the schools where you can train to do all the awesome stuff that they do in Assassin's Creed and in the movies at TempestFreerunning.com.


What's the difference between Freerunning and Parkour? "Parkour is the practice of moving quickly and efficiently throughout the environment. Freerunning is essentially tis, but with flips and tricks." (from Assassin's Creed Unity forums)

Thanks to the oh-so-awesome Gabe "Jaywalker" Nunez (Taylor Lautner's handsome stunt double) for making this interview happen. YOU ROCK!!

K8 at the Con

A great moment at San Diego Comic Con 2014.
