Arlington, VA -- What is next to heaven? Perhaps this is an
unanswerable question. But that will not deter Rob Parrish, Video
Artist and proprietor of the vlog hoppervideo.net, from wrestling with
that profound question in his new vlog/web series "Next To Heaven."
(http://www.nexttoheaven.net).
Parrish retires to his video laboratory and downloads public domain
films from
http://www.archive.org. He then writes and records short
monologues based on the images from the films, and then re-edits the
films to the newly recorded narration. The result: Unique short videos
(aka "video bonbons") that are full of flavor! Now mind you, some
of the bonbons taste of garlic, hellish hot pepper, river mud, and flop
sweat . . . but they are treats for the discerning palate. Will you
eat these bonbons, which even Mr. Parrish admits are "weird as
hell" and will be an acquired taste for some? The choice is yours.
As guidance, here is what a few of vlogging's leading lights have
said about Parrish's first vlog

"Couldn't be more packed to the gills, these movies, with formal
invention. * * * [S]erious thinking is clearly at work here. Better
than timidity, for sure."
Michael Szpakowski of DVblog (http://dvblog.org)
"Rob's work lodges itself in the backside of my brain like a piece
of alien gum."
Aaron Valdez of Valdezatron Industries
(http://www.valdezatron.com/).
"I really dig Rob's work. His vlog is weirdly creative-and I mean
that in a good way."
Bill Streeter of LoFi Saint Louis (http://www.lofistl.com)
"Video artist Rob Parrish takes on videoblogging and WINS! -- real-life
and remixes, humor and politics, clever and dark"
