Shoot Me

I collect things, espcially footage. About two years out of highschool i got into video via the video toaster on the amgia computer. I made videos of all sorts ranging from videos for clubs and bars to raves to boring industrial yadda yadda biz crap. At some point back then around the early 90's I shot this video with a friend of mine who worked at an insurance company. I was freelancing for himand I remember telling him how I just bought my first pc and left the world of the amigas, all for this one game.. called doom. My 1st PC was just to play doom. Heh.I thought the gaming culture back then was really gonna take off, this doom game was crazy fun, and we played it for hours on end. I wanted to make some video.The video was shot, put in the "can" and then lost. Not really lost but never edited until I found the footage one day cleaning my apartment in Texas. I transfered the vhs to betacam and sucked it into the avid. At the time of the edit it was nearing Troy's birthday. And Troy is the one saying "shoot me.. will you just shoot me.. i'm like low on health..." in this video. Its a classic line from the world of deathmatch gaming. Especially since their in this little spawn room with a double barrel shotgun dancing around each other while I was setting up the gear and getting ready for what i wanted to video. Brings back some hilarious memories.
