The script for Video 2 CCR
The camera is set up on a tripod. On one side sits INTERVIEWER ME, wearing a ridiculous curly wig and a bushy fake mustache that keeps slipping. On the other side sits ACTUALLY ME, looking mildly embarrassed but playing along. The vibe is chaotic yet oddly professional.
INTERVIEWER: (adjusting mustache, deepening voice) Well, hello there, folks! Welcome to Me, Myself, and a Terrible Disguise, the podcast where I ask the hard-hitting questions… to myself. Today, we’ve got a very special guest... Me! Say hi, Me.
ME: Hi, Me. Nice mustache. Did you borrow it from a 70s cop show?
INTERVIEWER ME: (stroking mustache, offended) Excuse you! I spent three whole minutes hot gluing this bad boy on. Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff. (Scoffs) First question, how did your production skills develop throughout this project? I hear you’re some kind of editing wizard now.
ME: (smirking) Oh, wizard might be generous, but yeah, this project leveled me up for sure. I mean, I was filming and editing. Honestly, working on this film was intense. Every little edit mattered—like, Every. Little. Part, even a small sound effect like a footstep being placed wrong can ruin the immersion and flow of the whole thing.
INTERVIEWER ME: (nodding) Mmm, yes. So, what’d you actually learn, huh? Gimme the juicy details—did you master lighting, sound, what? Spill it!
ME: Okay, fine. I got way better at the small stuff that nobody notices until it’s gone—like adding footsteps when Leo’s running, or that creepy clock ticking in the background. The sound design was huge for suspense. We picked audio effects that made you feel like something bad was definitely about to happen. Oh, and fonts! Turns out picking the right font for credits is, like, an art form.
INTERVIEWER ME: So, you’re telling me you went from amateur hour to Spielberg Jr. just by fiddling with sound effects and stuff?
ME: (laughs) Pretty much! I mean, I had some editing chops before, but this was like -next level shi- stuff dude! Every choice—lighting, camera movement, the color of the title—had to mean something. It’s like I was playing 4D chess with myself. No offense, Me.
INTERVIEWER ME: (twirling mustache, which almost falls off) Hmmmm. Fascinating! Truly, a genius at work. Alright, onto question two, because I’m a professional and we’re not just goofing off here. Tell me about the tech you used—how’d all those fancy gadgets and software make this masterpiece happen?
ME: (grinning) Oh, where do I start? I mean, Adobe Premiere Pro was my ride-or-die. I edited the whole thing there, cut the footage, added credits, and threw in music and sound effects. I even cleaned up background noise, so you don’t hear my dog snoring through the suspense. Then I hopped over to After Effects for this slick title sequence. (Showing title sequence)-
INTERVIEWER ME: (interrupting) Wait, wait—did you say your dog was snoring? Is he the real star of this film?
ME: (rolling eyes) Focus, wig guy. Anyway, hardware-wise, I used my iPhone in cinematic mode—smooth focus pulls, crispy footage, honestly great stuff. We had a drone too, but the crappy quality unfortunately didn't make the cut, so I had to improvise. Instead of the drone, I went ahead and climbed this big tree to get the shot we needed of the car. I also got fancy with shots—close-ups, over-the-shoulder, low-angle stuff to make me look cooler than I am. Stabilizing shots was a learning curve, but I nailed it.
INTERVIEWER ME: (pretending to take notes) You climbed a tree? Sure, whatever you say... What else? Did you, like, invent a new filmmaking app or something?
ME: Nah, but I did use Blogger.com to keep us organized—shot lists, schedules, all that jazz. And YouTube tutorials were my secret weapon. I’d be lost without some random guy on YouTube teaching me how to keyframe in After Effects. I also watched a ton of film openings too, for inspo. It all came together into something… actually decent.
INTERVIEWER ME: (leaning forward, mustache dangling) Decent? DECENT? You’re underselling it, pal! Sounds like you’re ready to take Hollywood by storm—or at least make a viral TikTok. So, final thoughts: what’s the big takeaway from all these techy stuffs.
ME: (serious for a sec) Honestly? Editing’s everything. You can shoot the prettiest footage, but if the edit sucks, it’s over. This project taught me how to take raw stuff and make it feel right. suspenseful, polished, whatever. It’s like sculpting, but with less clay and more caffeine.
INTERVIEWER ME: (standing up, wig slipping) And there you have it, folks! A man and a mission to edit the heck outta life (Shrugs). Thanks for joining us on Me, Myself, and a Terrible Disguise. Catch you next time—assuming I don’t lose this mustache in the meantime!
ME: (facepalming) And cut. Get me out of here...
