Bill Watterson (Fan Made Music Video)

Origin
It late 2017. Back then John's brother still used John's computer and after showing much persistence in getting off of it John decided to go outside. Upon going outside John didn't really know what to do, all of a sudden he decided to become some sort of weird stoic and film himself standing completely still for over an hour. I can't remember if it was out of spite or if it was because I was that bored but one thing's for sure is that I did it.

The result of this recording made it's way on TUG Two (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy43jDRdFqg) and it also made it on the Bill Watterson video at some points. Filming the video resulted in John standing in the dark at the end of it. This got him thinking about a fan-made "Something Glowing" music video. Something Glowing is the second last track of John's favorite album "View Monster". The video would feature John standing in the dark in the backyard with weird effects emphasizing the colour blue. It would also have two characters, one red and one blue. There was a blue theme with not only this scraped video but with the Bill Watterson video as well because blue is what John associated with the songs (with blue being a dominant colour in the album cover).

John had the idea for the Something Glowing video but never acted on it since the project was kinda daunting in the sense that he didn't really know how to pull some things off. It was a project John didn't want to do. It took him several months to figure that out. Scraping the Something Glowing video but still being intrigued by the idea of a View Monster video John decided to go with Bill Watterson. After going in and out of production for several months during 2018 View Monster's tenth birthday was coming up. The intention of the video soon shifted to celebrate the ten year anniversary (hence the text at the start of the video). Production began on the thirty first of May in 2018.
