Judy Clark After Dark - Some Background

I hope you were able to view and enjoy Episode 1 of Judy Clark After Dark on YouTube. As you know, this has been a work in progress for a long time now. The show was supposed to be longer with more hosts and segments but coordinating schedules was very difficult. Geez, people actually work for a living! LOL. There is actually one episode done. Maybe I'll show it in the future and you can see where it all started.

Well, we went to film our second episode which included a guest star. Adding this extra person was an editing nightmare. We could not get the show less than 15 minutes. I do admit, it wasn't that interesting to watch for 15 minutes.

So at the same time as above, I was organizing future shows with more guest stars. As you can guess, it was a logistical nightmare! There were so many moving parts. It became overwhelming. Yes, I used the word nightmare twice now!

Only having one show done, I was disappointed. I really wanted to do a season and not just one show.

Just as I was about to scrap the whole project, a thought came to me. Make the show very short. People are busy and don't really want to make a commitment. This thought had been mentioned to me before by a few people. I guess I have to hear things a few times before ideas stick.

Then the fun began - again. I had plenty of videos done or at least 'in the can'. We could do this! All I needed was to plan the season. So I sat down, looked at what I had, and invited a few new people on. Everyone was made aware of the time constraint - 4 minutes or less. We have enough content now for a show every other week from the middle of September to early December! We still have work to do, editing, etc. but we are well on our way.

You may think that the show is all over the place. There are more than just funny sketches. Some episodes may even be dramatic and not necessarily funny. Please remember, this was supposed to be a variety show with multiple segments. We are just doing one segment per show now!

So sit back, relax, take a load off your feet for 4 minutes - or less. :)

I really hope you enjoy these shows and it brings a little joy into your life.
