A quick little nod to Josh Hamilton’s performance in the All-Star Game’s Home Run Derby. Little did I know the firestorm it would create. MLB Advanced Media (i.e. Major League Baseball Attorneys) had YouTube take the video down for trademark infringement. I then sent a counter notice which persuaded the MLB legal team to reinstate the video.
The entire affair was recorded for posterity on Professor Lawrence Lessig’s blog…

This was made from footage of Johannes in Ambassador Chrusov mode. Along with cohort, David Fine, these two visited an old nuclear silo (now museum) in the New Mexican desert and pretended to infiltrate it. They had such amazing physical presences that I decided to turn the piece into a silent film. Concept executed to perfection by editor Kevin Pietila.
Followed Xeni with the camera on this one (in front of the Fedaral Buildings in West Los Angeles) and watched her work her newsperson-like magic. She definitely has a way of connecting with the subjects of her stories. Nice sappy moment at the end handing me the tea…
I met Johannes through Xeni, who had been familiar with his internet famous comedic creations.
This particular episode was shot on the back end of a marathon shoot at the E-Tech convention in San Diego. The party depicted was an after party for all the uber-tech savvy attendees. Johannes decided to crash it as the ambassador of the last remaining Soviet satellite. I followed him around with the camera, while playing his assistant ‘Dimitri.’ I’m also the VO of the Disney exec that kicks him out. We didn’t actually get to film that part the first time around, so we recreated it in post.
