Mayhem In Melbourne II brought out the stars Saturday, May 12, 2007 and was co-sponsored by Hometown News. The Flip Video camcorder was put to the test in the fourth row VIP section at ringside. Today's video features award-winning sports writer Rob Shelburne (who accurately predicts an eventual melee that reached the fourth row), former Jacksonville Jaguar linebacker and Hometown News sales representative Santo Stephens, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Marty Jannetty, Kamala, The One Man Gang and a cast of hundreds at Florida Tech's Clemente Center.
This was shot on the Flip Video camcorder and edited on the iMovie program that is featured on every new Mac. Hence, there are a lot of firsts for me here, so be kind... Clearly, the camerman needs more practice...
More later,
Mark

Leave it to you to do the most interesting things. I try to stay away from wrestling matches. The last one I attended at the old amphitheater near the stockyards resulted in 5 people being shot.
Now for the critique:
The slow, controlled pan at the beginning was very good. The guy with the chair over his head was awesome and of course there was the element of the scantily clad female.
The best bit in the video was the interview with the guy who proclaimed, "Mediocrity is the name of the game..." Yes. My new favorite phrase.
Glad to see you're having fun in Florida with the new technology. But since it's cold and rainy here I can't believe you missed a day at the beach to stay home and edit videos!
The guy with the chair over his head was The One Man Gang, allegedly from Chicago, Ill. After repeated viewings, you can tell that the Gang actually pushed his own head through a chair. The "mediocrity" comment is courtesy of former Jacksonville Jaguar linebacker and Hometown News sales representative Santo Stephens who is one of the great folks at work.
We have a busy week coming up (a special section which publishes to coincide with the start of the hurricane season June 1) and the upcoming holiday week. But at some point, I am going to run some video to show our fantastic whereabouts from soaring causeways to beaches.
Every now and then I geek out and get caught up with some fun project or learning something new and miss out on the beauty. But there's always the next day...
Thanks for the review, Suzanne! I wonder if Jeff Westhoff will weigh in...

Please tell Santo Stephens that he rocks. I was very taken with his on-screen presence. I think he needs his own TV show.
