My Life In Commercials

When I was 13 years old, armed with only a Kodak Ektachrome Super 8 camera, a tripod and a strange sense of humor, I set out to make a spoof of bathroom product commercials. I knew my options for editing were minimal to non-existent so I did all the edits in camera. The high pitch shift in the soundtrack was a liability of the magnetic track that was part of the Ektachrome Super 8 format. Hence the "High Pitch Low Grade" title card that I filmed later and which represents my only effort at a razor blade and tape splice edit.
