I would like to point out that the Drama Llama episode actually did a really good job of telling the whole story.

I've always wanted to tell that story, and I thought it was captured well.
You guys are over-crucifying something new. I'll guarantee the first episodes of skateline / hateline sucked. Even a lot of what I try to do on camera turns out like shit at first. It can really take a while to get into your groove and find something that works.
Everyone forgets the early days and only looks at the polished product they currently see.
Like... the first episode of hateline is pretty bad compared to the current product.
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/777494/Hateline--Hondo--Adidas-Snowboarding--operetta--Waru--Go-What absolutely DOES need to happen is way more interesting series like this. So I support people who have a dream giving it a shot, because we need this bad.
I've even tried to start stepping up to the plate. PLUG: We have four episodes of On The Road we filmed this summer, which will be launching in the 4 weeks up to IF3 - where we're doing to do about two more in real-time there.
IF YOU HAVE A DREAM TO DO THIS TRY IT. If you end up sucking at it, then at least you tried. If you're good - we will pay you and support you.
