Too much time on my hands

This idea for a small movie had been running through my head for a few weeks and I decided over the last two days to see if I could actually make the thing. I'm pretty happy with the result. I've been a fan of the 40s/50s vocal band The Pied Pipers for a number of years now- they used to sing with Tommy Dorsey and back up Frank Sinatra in his early crooning years. Well, I got one of their albums from Amazon a couple of months ago and when I heard this song, it made me so happy that I wanted to do something with it.

It didn't take very long to make the movie, but did require me to collect footage of produce in the grocery store (which was a little embarrassing), and engage in foolish antics in my apartment (which was more fun than embarrassing). So anyway, I hope you enjoy it:

You kick ass, Matt. This made my day. My favorite part was your feet dancing.

I think I'd really like that album.

Matt! I absolutely loved it! Great work.

You're looking so great! My favorite part was with the cigar--so classic.

I can't wait til you come home. I want to make movies too!

I'm gonna agree with Smith and the whole "phalic" thing. I was thinking naughty things while watching this. But well done. You deserve a grammy!* I'd like to see more of your banana.

*Only Smith will get this.

You rock!

Matt,
What a you video. As always, I'm awed. I like the painting and eating part best, and your feet, and the slip, and the end, and the dolphin jumping and... ok I loved the whole thing.
