In 2005 I made 168 videos, 53 of them were the “Carol and Steve Show”. Carol and I made one video a week. Keep in mind that YouTube was founded on February 14, 2005, and I had been posting videos on my video blog since January 1, 2004.
The designer of “The Apprentice” TV Show logo, Bill Dawson, made our show logo for us.
The show was an exercise in producing one video per week and learning all about story telling, shooting, editing and uploading video. The topics we chose were whatever we happened to be doing each weekend.
One of them most memorable moments that came out of hte show was when we were visiting friends Steve and Zadi in California and were at a party. One of their friends that we didn’t know came up to Carol and told that our show saved her from total boredom. She was in a remote part of France and missed America, she said she looked forward to our shows each weekend to see a little slice of home. She especially loved Carol’s accent.
Here’s a list of the shows. The original blog hosting platform, Typepad, is shutting down at the end of September so I’m looking though my posts over there and thinking about how to save a record of all those videos and posts. A few years ago my original video hosting platform, blip tv, shut down and at that time I saved a lot of my video on YouTube.
