Okay, we’ve covered the back history. The montage sequence sets up the story: Back in the day there’s an evil mayor (henceforth known as the bad guy) who runs Los Angeles. When the people are being taken advantage of, they go to Don Diego De La Vega for help. Don Diego’s crazy son Don Fransisco is the one who actually helps them, because at night he goes to his C64 cave and turns into Zorro. So one day my sister and my friend Ryan go to talk to Don Diego in our dining room to ask for help because their daughter Angie was kidnapped. Zorro finds out by choking Blue guy, who then takes an inordinate amount of time to get to bad guy island. Of course, bad guy is not concerned with Zorro knowing his whereabouts because

So Zorro shows up in our basement, and sure enough gets the butt end of a sword. Then Bad Guy sets off some well labled TNT, we get some C64 fire, and finally one of my first and last usages of model FX.

Other notes

• The “Sunny Side Video” logo was actually an Amiga Basic program I wrote. I wrote the rotation computations and the animated slide. Not surprisingly, I’m now a computer programmer.
• In the scene in the Dining room, I was standing in front of my Mom’s china hutch operating the camera. Then I took a perilous step back. It took years for my mom to forgive me for that one.
• My Dad made the “bad guy island” model, and my science teacher blew it up.
• This was the first instance of Jason being in one of my videos. He’s shown up in some of my later stuff too.
