Day 143 - Love Talk with Matthew Emphatic
Youtube is messing with my video size! And when I re-size it, bad things happen. So here's a straight link, sorry:

Day 124- Return to Roots
Due to a computer crash, I am working with one hand tied behind my back at the moment. I was able to save all my data, but have not returned my video software to the computer. I thought the emphatics might appreciate a return to the beginning. I think it is clear we have become better at making videos, and frankly, a bit more emphatic to boot.

Day 114 - Animatronics
I didn't have time in the post to mention the uber-realistic (and thus creepy) new animatronics of Johnny Depp's Captain Sparrow (in the Pirates of the Caribbean) and Obama (in the Hall of Presidents).

Hopefully it goes without saying but just to be especially clear: the happy hour mentioned in the above video is for sushi plates only, nothing more.

Crocodile eats Monkey
Aaron has not posted for two days. Pretend this crocodile is the embodiment of the other Emphatics and Aaron is the monkey. This is actual footage taken while the Emphatics were on safari.

Day 92 - An old movie from Matt's past
Those who have been watching Emphatics for a while may have picked up clues that our project is inspired by the Vlog brothers (Hank and John Green). What loyal Emphatics may NOT realize, though, is that our family has been making videos for years and years.
Being my turn today, I've chosen to post an older video. It's for funsies, just to give you a little taste of the absurdity that was pre-Emphatics.
As always, thank you all for your fun participation and comments!! One viewer even showed me a site she had started with a few of her friends, a site that looks a lot like Emphatics. How fun!!! Now if only I can convince all the rest of you to start up projects like this as well. ;-)

This one was a hard one to edit. I ended up cutting around 15 questions, so the ones left seem a bit random. Sorry about that. Three min. is hard!

Finishing the challenge -- 3 minute art piece (3 of them)
So not sure if I'll get a punishment or not for posting too late because I had the video done by 10PM but then youtube was down for maintenance. Hmm... so youtube gets the punishment?
Also, I took the art challenge and convinced two others to take the challenge as well. So if my portion bores you then jump to the other two. Thanks!

3 minute art challenge
I accept the challenge of spartacus21. This is my 3 minute attempt at art. This was Aaron's day to post but he has a big audition tonight. I will be away this weekend and Aaron has agreed to cover for my absence if I will cover for him tonight.

Day 31, Psycho
Day 31 of the Emphatics Blog, Fayette Emphatic explores the horror genre and employs techniques from the master of horror, Alfred Hitchcock. Sorry for the blurry parts. I liked the idea of having my head floating in a black room/space but didn't realize the camera would have so much trouble focusing. If you look at the original Psycho footage, however, you will see that my film is not much worse. heh.

Day 30- Technology Hates Me
So. Here's the deal:
1. I (Aaron Emphatic) was supposed to post yesterday. I made plans to sit down at night and edit my video from Graduation. But leave it to my friends to screw that up completely. They drove me to a friend's house and threw me a surprise graduation party. I was stuck there until the wee hours of the morning without my computer and without a link to the internet. So no video yesterday.
2. Today, I sit down with my new camera and upload all of my footage. My camera saves files in mp4 format. I edit using Windows Media Player. WMP does not recognize mp4 format and won't allow me to edit a single video clip. fml.
3. I spend 2 and a half hours trying to download codecs and file format converters to remedy the situation. None of them work. (Well, the converters work, but take a lifetime to do even the smallest task...).
4. Conclusion to the story is that I need to go purchase better video editing software. One that will not ruin my life.
My next post will be a graduation post. I promise. Until then... a video that many of you have seen already:
The Modern Man.

Day 26- Matt's Love Life
Of course the funniest thing is that this whole post is made up, and in no way is based upon actual facts and/or events. It's all a wonderfully imagined world of fantasy and non-reality.

Day 10- Guest Emphatic
So. Here's the deal. I was swamped today, and didn't have time to create something magical for you all to see, so I enlisted the help of my friend Jamie. She is my guest artist- filling in.
If you are familiar with the SNL Target Lady, this will make sense. If not... just google it on youtube or whatever. Sorry its more than 3 min...
I promise my next video will be awesome, and all me.
-Aaron
Approved!!!
