you won't truly appreciate this until you've lived there, but I'd never want you to try, so watch it instead.
The Cleveland Tourism Board gave me 14 million dollars about 8 months ago to make a promotional video to bring people to Cleveland. As usual, I waited till the last minute and I ended up having to shoot and edit it in about an hour yesterday afternoon. I probably should have invested more time.
If you're bored, come and see my sketch group this Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd at Hilarities/Pickwick and Frolic right in the heart of the exceptional downtown Cleveland. Hit up pickwickandfrolic.com for tix and info.

HASTILY MADE CLEVELAND TOURISM VIDEO
Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video [2nd Attempt] FOR THERESA FENNELL
So The Cleveland Board of Tourism was not happy with the first video that I turned in. In fact, they said that upon viewing it, three of the board members moved away.
They insisted that I turn in a proper Cleveland tourism video, otherwise they will pursue litigation.
So I was really planning on buckling down and giving it my all this time, but there was a "Rock of Love" marathon on VH1 last night that I didn't want to miss, so I cranked this video out in even less time than the first one. Roughly 35 minutes total.
Despite this, I'm rather pleased with how it turned out, and I think they will be too.
