Wacky Peter
Yo! So let’s continue the home movie marathon, shall we?
So around the time of my last year of high school, I came up with this Lego character I called “Wacky Peter.” He had all these misadventures and was always dying. Mr. Bill-type stuff.
During 12th grade and the summer between graduating and going to college, I made a whole bunch of stop-motion Wacky Peter videos. Just like when I was a kid, I LOVED recording stuff and making my own movies and the like, so this was sort of the end of that era of my life before I went to college.
(I did this instead of having friends, which is a pretty common pattern for me, haha.)
(I also had my Cape Cod Radio Mystery episodes playing in the background as I worked/filmed, so that’s what all the noise/talking is.)
So here are all the episodes condensed into one video. There are timestamps for each episode in the comments in case anyone actually cares.
Wacky Peter
Throughout my childhood (and early adulthood), I was really into movie-making. I would find something that could be filmed for multiple episodes and then make a series out of it.
The most recent example, in 2006, was a series called “Wacky Peter.” It followed the adventures of one of my Lego men (Wacky Peter, obviously) and all his usually fatal adventures.
I spent hours making these videos over the summer. I hung out in the playhouse in our backyard (which was my bedroom back then) and would make recordings all day.
The reason I’m bringing this up is because I was digging through all my old VHS tapes and found the Wacky Peter ones.
Here are some of the episode titles:
