Many obstacles kept coming in the way of recording this video! Howling winds sweeping through the apartment didn’t sound good as background noise while the auntie character was talking. (good for bloopers) Lighting was bad, and so I postponed until I bought ghetto flood lights that will work for now.
Yes, I forgot to have my mom’s character wear her glasses!
Then again, in real life - she always loses her glasses around the house and spends waay too much time searching for them. hahah I only noticed that detail while I was 1/4 of the way editing and rather than go back and re-record, I felt that viewers would rather see a new posting than to wait. Ok, fine - that’s my instant gratification coming out, and my laziness to go back and re-record. hahah
The auntie character is a combination of different aunties and so don’t worry, as with my mom and dad characters - no one gets offended in the family. They all like to see the imitations and can relate to them because they KNOW they’ve encountered the same characters.
True life moments from this video are:
1) My mom asking someone how her back was, right after the woman explained in detail.
2) “Beating the bush” error in meaning to say “beating around the bush” was by a different
family member.
3) Vicks is the family cure all. Your ailment would have nothing to do with it, yet Vicks is
always taken out of the cabinet.
4) An auntie saying “Play wid peelings” to my male cousin who was playing piano.
I change around the situations, to better fit my playing them to video. Lots of fun, eh? ![]()
