Making a Name for Himself

It’s surprising what you can do if you put your mind to it. Grinding out the words on my current WIP, I need a break now and then, and I’ve turned part of my attention to producing video.

I’ve been on YouTube since forever, usually turning out photoreel book trailers, but this is my first attempt at live video. No dialogue. With my current equipment, that’s a no-no. I can’t sync video and audio. Instead I went for almost-silent farce, and who better to appear in such shorts than Flatcap?

The lad is making a name for himself. He has his own channel, which is actually named DW’s Comedy Channel but it mainly stars Flatcap up to mischief as he seeks to fill the endless hours of retirement. Right now, he’s determined to get in shape, but we’re not quite sure what shape. Oblate would be an erudite description.

When I put the idea to Jan Rosser at Oapschat, she was so impressed and doubled up with laughter, that she asked for the videos so she could embed them on the site, and I’m sure the Oapschatters will love them. As an aside, Oapschat doesn’t stand for OAP’s chat, but Optimistc and Proactive Seniors Chat.

So there you have it. Flatcap’s fame is spreading. And if you want a taster, so you can judge what the fuss is about, here it is.

Flatcap has tried weight lifting and tried jogging. Now he’s turning to other forms of working out.

 

You’re welcome to share this post and the video, and I’d be happy if you subscribed to the YouTube channel… so would Flatcap.
