Blake Takes Five Episode 1 DONE!

January 5, 2009  |  Video  | 

Hello, Blake Makers. Ok. So I’m gearing back up. I’ve been doing tons behind the scenes in preparation to woo and amaze you with my mad food blogging skills. In addition to all new food posts, I’ve got several other ideas in various stages of development. One of those ideas is Blake Takes Five.

Blake Takes Five is a weekly (if we can pull it off) countdown show of the top five food stories being blogged about that week. There’s a cool Sooper Hero tie which involves my Sooper Heroes sending 30-second videos of themselves into the show with them sharing what they’re cooking/eating/reading that week (I’ll compensate those that do). Also, I’m trying to squeeze a giveaway into every show. The first episode of Blake Takes Five actually has two giveaways (one involves two fat ladies)!

As you can see from the photos below, we’re shooting the show in my garage. It’s hot, poorly ventilated and a little smelly (sorry Steve). I have a feeling, however, that that’s where big ideas are born.

I’m aiming to have the show out of post-production and posted here on BlakeMakes by Friday. Stay tuned!
