My Videos

When I was in middle school, I made a spoof of 90s kids show "Zoboomafoo". I took the video footage and added fart sounds, burp sounds, explosions, and bleeped profanity. It was my first video! I found out that other people made similar videos called YouTube Poops and I started making a whole bunch of these videos, usually parodying Zobomafoo and Mario. Then I started using other sources like Sesame Street, The Muppets, Pokemon, and Toy Story. I started learning new techniques like speeding up, slowing down, and muting videos. A year later, my computer broke and Mom and Dad bought me a laptop. That laptop just happened to come with a webcam, I started filming videos of my self. I called them Effects Compilations because I would film me performing random special effects like cloning myself, disappearing, and blowing things up. I started watching other effects artists like my personal favorite Justtubeyreturns. I started using Justtubey's ideas and calling them my own by remaking them. After months of remaking videos, I finally came up with my own effects short films. They used LOTS of random special effects and had little to no story. On my 13th birthday, my friend, Dalton showed me an animated sketch show called asdfmovie. Asdfmovie is a series in which stick figures perform a bunch of random 3-second clips. I decided to make my own sketch comedy, in which I parodied pop culture. They were similar to Mad Magazine, because I included Spy vs. Spy and Don Martin-style cartoons, as well as images of Alfred E. Neuman. Because of that resemblance to Mad, I called it Matt Mad. That Summer, I asked Mom if I could upload my stuff to YouTube. She said that's fine, as long as I don't post inappropriate stuff. At first, I had trouble thinking of a name for it. I was going to call it "Visualfxguy" but that was taken so I ended up calling it "1visualfxguy", because I'm an only child who does visual effects videos. I uploaded 100+ effects videos just that Summer. I would upload stuff almost every day (mostly silly stuff). A year later, I found out there was a video contest at the library, in which you could make a video and win an ITunes giftcard and have your face in the paper. I made a short film called "Swiss News Live At The Library", which featured a cast of brand-new characters, including the News Guy, Darth Vader, Elvis Presley, The World's Oldest Baby, and Jim the Muppet. I ended up winning the contest and the librarians said they were laughing so hard. I figured I wanted to start making comedy videos and stop the silly stuff I had previously done. So, I made some new characters and made a new channel called "One-Eyed Willy Johnson Productions". I tried to post my videos to a gaming forum and the moderator said the name sounded inappropriate. So, I made a new channel called "2MattTV". If you want to see some funny videos, check me out on 2MattTV today!
