News With Nezua | Our Post-Racial Paradise

HOLA! Let me sweep you away to Racist Island, where nobody EVERRR thinks of vacationing! Wow, what a fun time I had building that particular skit. I couldn’t stop layering on sounds and it really came to life in my mind as a very nasty, sulphurous sort of location where nobody really has much fun at all.

Jerry  Jackalorde (in foto at left) is beginning to take shape as a character. He is now the Official XOLAGRAFIK Post Racial Blogger. I think he first appeared as “Joe Blogger,” in News With Nezua: Crisis In Civility or even before that, before he had a name, he stepped into the frame as some relative of the “White-Half Man” in News With Nezua, Crazy Old White Guys Edition. It will be fun to see where Jerry goes from here, and who else steps in. I have a character or two waiting in the wings, actually. This idea, these ideas tumble and brew for a while, sometimes growing forth from years of play and thought…and messing with my hat collection.

Anyway, I won’t give it all away but I have to note that this News With Nezua vid is twelve minutes and has to be THE most ambitious video I’ve shot in this category yet, if not for a long time altogether. The ideas I set up in the script were challenging, but I love an excuse for a good skit. If I had another week with it, I’d probably add one more skit toward the end, or in some way flush out the second half a bit with less talking-head, but it’s time to move on, no more time for this one.

If it makes you smile or laugh and think at all, I’ll be happy. At the end of these sessions I have to trust in the script that I came up with on Friday, because when it’s 3 am on Monday morning and you are editing your own cursed voice for the fiftieth time on a certain phrase, you can’t even tell anymore if it makes sense! But it was a lot of fun, I’ll say that one more time.

Keep an eye open in the not-too-distant future as I may be working an amigo into the NWN scene for brief hitchcockian camos or whatnot. Which oughtta be fun.

As always, if you prefer to view in a dark room, check out News With Nezua: Our Post Racial Paradise at the XOLAGRAFIK Theater. And just for fun, drop by La Frontera Times to see how they choose to headline this jammie.

Hasta.
