"The Hallowieners"
Finally, the film of the boys in their halloween costumes, and the first use of "DachshundCam™." As usual, the compression to Quicktime makes the titles look like absolute crap, but the rest of it isn't too bad. (But if you know me, you should just come over to my house and see it uncompressed on my iBook.) Compressed or not, this is still a big (4.8MB) file, and may take a while to load. Click the link, and a separate blank window will open. Eventually, the video will play.
You can just download this zipped file, and then view the video on your desktop if you want instead of waiting. But hey, I'm not the boss of you. FYI, the credits say: "The Hallowieners Were: Jinks as 'Ketchup,' Speedy as 'Mustard,' Dachshund Wrangler: Terry Randazzo. A Pickles for Charity Production. (Yeah, "Pickles for Charity" DOES actually mean something; I didn't just make it up--if you wanna know, ask me sometime.)
"Look At Me I'm Walking"
Even though he's still a little spazzy, Jinks is walking better all the time now, and this is a short film of him running around in the yard after the big snow, aka "the blizzard of 2003" according to the hysterical media. It may take a while to open, or you can just download this zipped file, and then view the video on your desktop if you want instead of waiting.
"Let The Sun Shine In"
A short movie of the pack out in the yard enjoying one of the first days of Spring. It may take a while to open, or you can just download this zipped file, and then view the video on your desktop if you want instead of waiting.
"Birthday"
I made this in 2003 for Laura's birthday and forgot that I never put it online, so here it is. It may take a while to open, or you can just download this zipped file, and then view the video on your desktop if you want instead of waiting.
"What Dachshunds Watch on TV"
The quality's not great, but since I shot it in a dimly lit room that's pretty much what I expected. Besides, that's not the point--it's conceptual. And it's Speedy. This one will take a while to load--I mean like a minute or more--the window will open and then you just have to wait for it. If you don't want to wait, here it is zipped; just download it and view on your desktop.
"Dog Pool"
This is a very quick knock-off type video I shot and edited very quickly to show people Jinks and Speedy in their new pool. I wasn't even going to put it online, but then I figured what the hell. Jinks hates the pool and won't go near it on his own. But when it's really hot, Speedy goes in, sits down for a while, and then gets out. He's pretty smart, for a dog and all.
"Charles in Charge"
This is a quick, knock-off kinda thing I did as a surprise for a friend. It's her cat, Charles--who is quite the ladies man--being coquettish on top of the refrigerator. It's short, but is still a slightly big (3.4MB) file, and may take a while to load. Click the link, and a separate blank window will open. Eventually, the video will play. If anyone's interested, this cool version of the "Charles in Charge" theme is done by Relient K. (I know there's an off-the-beat edit in the music; I was just too lazy to fix
