Another Brave MOS (Man On the Street) Soul...

Hey, guys! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying some of the sunshine we've been having here in Nashville today WOW, beautiful day!! Got a couple of vids to continue the two most important questions of the year:

1. Where in the world is the Great Barrier Reef, and
2. How LONG is that sucker??





Hey, I don't script 'em folks, I just turn on the camera...but cheers to these guys for stickin' their necks out. Next time the great barrier reef comes up in general conversation, they'll be golden!

Rules for Man On the Street

Ok, so while cruisin' around taping, I've discovered a few things that make the experience much more user-friendly. Like making sure people actually WANT to be video taped...

My question is why wouldn't EVERYone want to have their face all over the internet? Um, dunno. Maybe they're practicing to be lawyers, or celebrities in hiding, or criminals, or, uh, maybe vampires. I hear you can't see vampires on tape... (which brings up a strange question: why is it that you CAN'T see vampires on tape, but you CAN see ghosts on tape...hmmm.)

This is the first rule on tape!

Announcing our first Man on the Street...

Ok, so it's on the porch, and it's two women, not one man, but all the same...

So the last couple of days, I've been carting a video camera around asking people two questions:

1) Where is the Great Barrier Reef?
2) How long is the Great Barrier Reef?

The biggest thing I want to do in my videos is convey a sense of what people know (or don't) about the Great Barrier Reef, and to provide answers to the above questions. They are simple questions, but (as you will see) not always common knowledge. And, uh, I don't write this stuff folks. I just shake hands and turn on the camera...

At any rate, I'll be posting various clips giving you guys a glimpse into what's going on upstairs with our fellow citizens. BTW, don't be too hard on them. After all, when did you really know the answers to these things... OH-kay!?

Hope you enjoy! =)
