I got a pop-up book AND a personalized letter! :) The books is called "Love Bugs," and I guess it's for toddlers to give to their Valentines? I'm not sure. Here's a closer look at the letter:
It says
Greetings Woody!
I was walking through my local Goodwill store the other day and saw this book. I immediately thought of you! I hope you get a good post from it for Valentine's Day or something. Have a wonderful and prosperous new year!
<3 Always,
Nicole
Needless to say, I was pretty excited, but I had to wrack my brain to figure out what I wanted to do with this silly kids' pop-up book. I was originally planning on doing a book-reading vlog, like my Thrift Store Pen Pal Andrea did, but I just wasn't sure. So I slept on it.
Finally, I got the idea to do a horror-movie-style trailer, which kind of evolved into a Public Service Announcement about the dangers of STDs - specifically, crabs. It just made sense; after all, it is VD in a couple days. I wrote the music myself and modeled it after all those great/cheesy horror movie soundtracks from the 80s. I hope you like it!
Definitely check out Nicole's blog, and definitely sign up for Thrift Store Pen Pals! And most importantly, be safe this Valentine's Day, kids. Shave.
This was incredibly disturbing and creepy. I think I've been scarred... D=
ReplyDeleteBut, uhhhh, very creative? Yeah.
Then it seems I've done my job. STD scare tactics, FTW. :)
DeleteAmazing! I don't think I could have done any better. Hats off to you Woody!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And thanks for sending me the inspiration! You're awesome.
DeleteSuddenly I don't feel so fresh. You are a superbly creepy individual. Please keep doing what you're doing. P.S. Gold star for music and editing.
ReplyDeleteThis video was very fun, especially the editing, so I will definitely continue. :)
DeleteWoody...that was amazing. Absolutely awesome. That scream at 0:40 when the sweets pop up? Genius. Posts like this are why I love your blog so much.
