Asian Bachelorette
This video is just about a year old, but I felt that it was pretty timely considering the news about John Cho headlining Searching. Also, if you haven’t watched much from WongFu Productions, you probably should.
On Poetry: Light the World

“I Can’t Potty in the Rain”
Pepper agrees wholeheartedly with this situation. It’s been raining on and off for a little longer than she’s comfortable holding it, so she’s dealing with it. However, it’s a drama fest every time.
Fireworks
Where do fireworks designers/technicians practice this stuff for timing without people seeing it?
