Here is the second installment of my three part video series Riding the Rave. My friends Tim Washer, Scott Teems, and I put together the three part video series to show the absurdity of working with others.
You know how sometimes plans get in the way of action? The discussions become circular very quickly.
If you haven't seen part one, check it out here.
Direct link to part two on YouTube here.
Watch this blog for part three in two weeks.
Tim Washer, who plays my manager in the video, is all of the following: Host. Comedian. Writer. Presbyterian.
Scott Teems is a filmmaker. His latest film That Evening Sun, which he wrote and directed, stars Hal Holbrook. Congratulations to Scott as That Evening Sun won several awards at the South-by-Southwest festival last week. I was at the world premiere and it is terrific.

Nice work. Very perceptive. The 30-page marketing plan (in color) that can't be changed reminds me of those consultants who come into your business and sell you a customized plan that turns out to be off-the-shelf drivel.

After all, if were into semantics, isn't a World Wide Wave, simply a tsunami?

Hmm, he makes a good point - that 30-page marketing plan IS printed in color. We all know how pricey color printing can be.
How many thousands of books have you printed? Maybe you could just use a Sharpie and change the covers - a quick swipe and that "R" can be made into a "W", no problem. And it would look very custom. Cutting edge, even.
These shorts are so clever and well done, David - I don't want them to end. Are you sure you can't make this trilogy into like 592 parts?? Seriously, don't get hung up on the semantics of the word "trilogy". :)

Glad you guys like these. We really had fun making them. One more to go, but maybe we can find some out takes. David

My favorite line: "Let's not locked down on one title for the book." Hilarious, David.

Too funny. Not sure if I should laugh or cry or snicker - the number of times we've all had similar conversations with people who just don't get it. Looking forward to episode three and the out-takes Stacey noted.
