When I first moved to Chicago, I had very little going on.  Very, very little.  To fill the void and satiate my desire to write, I began producing a short series called InformaShawn.  It’s exactly what it sounds like: wildly useful video-based information that can help you change your life.

I managed to keep it up for 9 episodes before growing lazy, with a bonus 10th episode that resurfaced some months later.  I have more sitting in a drawer that can hopefully get pulled out again soon.  For now, enjoy the original series on one easy-to-scroll page.

Our final project was to “do something with sound design.”  So I said “I’ll do something with voiceover, because then I don’t have to know how to record live audio.”  I also said “I could do something stupid and boring or I can make something that entertains me and graduate regardless.”  Here, watch Cranial Mechanica:
