New Mikeystrong video! This one is all about avoiding the bad pain and embracing the good pain.
We interview Derek Bolt
The Mikeystrong crew went to Washington, DC, to watch Mikey's friend Derek Bolt as he entered his first bodybuilding competition! The video comes in three parts:
Before the competition:
During the competition:
And after the competition:
The middle one is a Mikeybit, so it was filmed and edited by Mikey himself, but the others I directed. It was our first time doing an interview. I'm pretty happy with how they came out, although I'm already racing with ideas for how we'll do it better next time. (Making sure we have a second lav mic, for sure!)
New season of Mikeystrong!
Mikeystrong is back with a second season. This time, the overarching theme will be watching Mikey prepare for his first bodybuilding show. The first video has Mikey laying out exactly what's in store for anyone who tries to do this crazy feat.
Mikeystrong season 1 wrap party!
We did it! The Mikeystrong team made a bunch of videos.
Here, there's now also a playlist with a sensible order for watching season 1:
Meanwhile, we're taking the holidays off. There should be some Mikey-directed Mikeybits before I direct another video.
11 unhelpful things people say about bodybuilders (#7 involves walnuts!)
Mikeystrong is back with a video about public perception of bodybuilders (and other types of body shaming).
I had a lot of fun figuring out how to do the subtitles.
Gratuitous comforting kitten footage
When we made the post-election Mikeystrong video, we tried to have some comforting footage of Baskerville to soothe things out. But, alas...
How do I eat
This week, right before American Thanksgiving, Mikeystrong talks about eating. You can't talk about eating without breaking a few eggs.
Sanctuary
It's been a hard year. Mikeystrong isn't giving up.
Bodybuilding what is it
Mikeystrong realized that not everyone is entirely clear on the differences between fitness, bodybuilding, and powerlifting. So we made a video to explain.
And yes, I finally got to do some voice acting!
Escape from skinny-fat jail
This week, Mikeystrong looks at the habits that prevent people from achieving the body type they're after—especially if they're after a bodybuilder's physique.
A short story
Story time with Mikeystrong.
I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. There's a cute surprise at the very end!
Vegas diaries
The Mikeystrong crew went to Las Vegas so Mikey could see his first Mr Olympia!
We made a few video diaries along the way:
These videos will mostly be of interest to people who are already fans of bodybuilding, but Mikey also has some interesting things to say about Las Vegas. Vegas is perhaps even more interesting a city—and especially a tourist destination—than I remembered!
