My name is Jeremiah McDonald, and I've been producing a variety of content for YouTube since 2006. My work tends to reflect my varied interests and talents, from physical comedy, film history, surreal animation, monologues and musicals. The culmination of my work was A Conversation With My 12 Year Self, where I edited footage of myself at age 12 having a seemingly fluid conversation with myself twenty years in the future. One of the topics covered was my early interest in animation, which fell by the wayside in favor of live action.
In the last year I've made an effort to draw again, and hope to carry this over to my YouTube efforts by continuing to experiment with animation, as well as expand the visual scope of my work. I also plan on doing more performances pieces, as well as video blogs sharing my thoughts on life (like the time I unloaded on my former neighbor). I'll also be performing Dan Cardamon in an ongoing series written by Mike Booth.
