Michael Smith is a character I do. He's a british news reporter. I got the idea for him one night listening to the BBC on the radio. The anchors were very familiar with each other and reading poems they had written. i have a wide collection of other Michael Smith videos on my website. he is funny. i think you will like him.
This short was filmed entirely at CENTRAL PARK WEST STUDIOS. I used my digital8 handicam, a AT835b shot gun mike, an XLR adapter box, a "Swiffer" stick as a mike stand. a green wall, the green screen effect from http://www.stupendous-software.com, and my unlimited improvisational talent. I edited it on iMovie 3 on my G3 iMac. The green screen renderings took a while. I'd say the whole project took about 3 hours, while doing other stuff as the clips rendered. That's pretty much the process on how I make my other films too.
