The Man-Cave Live Interview with Freddy in Space's John Squires




Last summer I purchased I HD video camera in hopes of doing vlogs and interviews for this site. My learning curve decreased when I went down with an eye injury for over a month and could not really learn the ins-and-outs of my camera before last August's Monster-Mania, where I intended to conduct a lot of interviews. I posted my first interview with the Queen of Awesome Kristy Jett in September which was a fairly easy initial editing project because it was done in one shot. However, the one I had with Mr. Freddy in Space's John Squires took me a little longer because in all honesty, the lighting and sound is not great. I had yet to master my camera and learn its advantages and disadvantages. That and we all had been partying pretty hard that day too, so that didn't help things.

After trying to raise the audio for each clip without causing over-modulation and trying to brighten the screen shots, I figured "F*** it". I am not trying to make a motion picture here. This is an interview with a friend, talented writer and willing participant Johnny Boots. And we, along with John's wonderful girlfriend Jen and the hilarious Dan, had a helluva lot of fun doing. Hopefully you will like it as much. I have so much unused footage that I can even make a whole other interview if I wanted to, but we'll see.


The idea was to be a very low budget knock-off of Inside The Actor's Studio with low, soft lighting and me repeating the tail end of most of the guest's sentences. I even really made it trashy by wearing a bright green Barnaby's Bar t-shirt. And we were going to drink beer on camera. Lots of beer. The end result is The Man-Cave meets Freddy in Space, all made for the enjoyment of my loyal readers.

Without further ado, please watch this video from The Man-Cave's youtube channel. An interview with John Squires aka the badass mofo from Freddy in Space!

Thanks again to John, Jen and Dan for their participation and to you all for watching. And make sure to check out Freddy in Space.

Alex - I give Dan all the credit in the world for holding that camera as still as he did. He had more booze in him than John and I combined. Haha.
