15 Days of 007
I think that during the heady days when TBS used to air James Bond movies every night for a fortnight you could have promoted it with a black and white card telling rabid bond fans when to tune in. "If you air it...they will watch." Luckily for me, I got to edit these fun spots in the Fall of 2000 with writer/producer Brian Morrow.

Movies For Guys Who Like Movies
Movies For Guys Who Like Movies is a pretty self-explanatory concept.
Before TBS was "Very Funny" it was "A Guy Thing." And to that end, this franchise tried to deliver what every guy wants in a show. Killer movies, lots of action, hot chicks, guns, violence, behind the scenes how'd-they-do-that info, and more hot chicks.
Born from the success of "Dinner and a Movie" TBS has aired many franchises that market movies to niche demographics. In my opinion the show was the most fun to make in the early days of production. With a skeleton camera crew, producers Brendan Hamlin and Ashley Evans would return to Atlanta from the road (usually L.A.) with killer footage of some male fantasy they had just made into a reality. Hosts George and Karen would find themselves dog-fighting in real airplanes, ridding along in military hovercraft, crashing real cars and jumping off buildings. The show was really a lot of fun to work on.

The Big Game
In 1998 Cartoon Network began an annual stunt to commemorate the Super Bowl. The idea: have John Madden and Pat Summerall call play by play on classic cartoon moments. And "The Big Game" was born. Each of the 4 years the stunt grew to the point that by the year 2000 John and Pat made on screen apperances along with an unlikely cast of popular celebrities including Bubba Smith, Scott Hamilton, Joe Mantegna, Jack Hanna, and the Inside the NFL cast who added their own take on which cartoon character would win that year's "game."
The editing challenges were many on this project. I think the most challenging segments required taking pre-recorded play by play voice over and matching the script to action clips from classic cartoons. I would add freeze frames at appropriate moments in the action to accommodate a telestrator. An interesting exercise in an early form of mash-up.
