A trip to San Diego, recorded in Sept. 2006, and including Coronado Island, the Zoo, and Balboa Park museums. The video was completely captured into the computer, planned, edited, scored, rendered and uploaded to YouTube in one day.
The biggest surf in two years hit SoCal on Wednesday, Dec. 5th, 2005. This is a look at the waves in parts of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, with surfing footage shot at Rincon Pt. and Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. Errata: All the dates/times in the video should read "pst" instead of "pdt".
A MikeVideo Internet Movie. This is the original ElvisMovies, a "trailer" for the more ambitious "Elvis Movies 2". An original "assemblage" type MikeVideo like in the 80s, but taken from digital Tivo images and input directly into the computer, this brings together footage culled from an Elvis marathon on TCM. Be sure and watch ElvisMovies 2

A MikeVideo Internet Movie: Myriad images shot on different video excursions by MikeVideo over a six year span, and edited together to a music track. This is the latest MikeVideo to be assembled, and was completed in December 2005.
