Video Collection
Well, here's a treat for all concerned! A proverbial clip show of old news! Shoving my souped-up slideshows on to your monitor! Enjoy and despair at their ludicrous crudeness. Sincere apologies for poor sound quality (they work best with headphones). If I only placed a small piece of netting in front of the mic... but no. I'm far too important. From now on, any further video monstrosities will be relegated to my blog.
Chapter One: Hut on the Rock
This one was fun to do, but constitutes something of a public service as well. The sooner that people recognise and acknowledge the Rubeus Hagrid/Ghost of Christmas Present/Lauren Girling hate triangle, the sooner we'll all be saved from nuclear warfare. And at 702 views so far, the public is getting the message! Ratings have been pretty decent so far too. This is the one with such classic moments as the cardboard cutout, the Grace-inspired stage directions and the Christmas Schooner/Christmas Carol riffs.

Chapter Two: Trains and Trolleys
Personally speaking, I find this much funnier than part one. It has the insane tea lady, Ron Weasley catching fire, Judi Dench and Dumbledore keeling over. It may be a little too surreal for anyone not fully in on the joke... no, wait, avant-garde. So my question is who favourited it and pushed a five-star-rating? Chances are that there's somebody as sick as me out there. Then again, maybe Davies has a YouTube account and has been posting videos of himself in a cocktail dress. He keeps a crowbar in his garter, he does.

The Phantom Lament
This was posted in an underpublicised moment of inspiration when I realised I hadn't done any real acting in months. I slapped this together to ease that troubling thought. It uses Erik's extended monologue from one of my favourite books, Gaston Leroux's 1911 The Phantom of the Opera and images from one of my favourite films, the 1925 silent flick with the great Lon Chaney. The ghoulish makeup holds up very well, I think. I could pick holes in my overwrought performance here till Judgement Day, but overall I think it's rather good and something I'm proud to thrust in your general direction. Very few Emos could top this outpour. I'm bargaining on doing a one-man version of A Christmas Carol at some point, which will be amusing. The most excellent point about Phantom is that it comes with a built-in fanbase. I was inundated with pleasant e-mails and good ratings (and have been viewed and favourited a lot), with none of the usual panning and death threats. Here it is:
