I haven't mentioned it anywhere yet, and it's not actually full SNL shows, but last year with the help of a good friend I finally completed a project I've been wanting to do for at least 15 years now: a full and complete collection of Mike Myers' "SPROCKETS" skits. Originally I wanted to compile them all on videotape, but obviously over time the logical choice was to make a DVD out of it.

The hardest part was getting hold of all the skits, since nobody I knew had all of them. Finally I ran across someone who did, and though they were were not all very good quality, I had at last the complete set of 14 skits, 1989-1997 (plus an alternate version of one particular skit for bonus content). I conceptualized the disc and the menus, and my friend David did a fantastic job of capturing the video, cleaning up the audio, and putting it all together under my direction. I think it turned out great. The only thing I would really want to fix would be the quality, if I could find better copies of the shows someday.

I'd also like to do a similar project for "Goth Talk" sometime.
