If Internet Explorer gives you any mess about playing embedded video, you have two options. You can simply "allow access" or you can choose a web browser without restrictions - FireFox.
The problem is Internet Explorer doesn't follow the coding standards set forth by the W3C for embedded video objects. Rather than continually trying to "code around" IE and its anti-standard, we simply stopped using it. Str8jacket highly recommends you use the FireFox browser. It's FREE and it's the bees knees. Enjoy the video!
Future Weapons Spoof
Enjoy the show, because we enjoyed making it!
Discovery Channel asked viewers from its over 92 million subscriber base to create and submit spoofs of their favorite Discovery Channel shows. A 1 hour special entitled "You Spoof Discovery", hosted by Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame, aired Sunday, February 25th, 2007. The show featured just 20 of the over 600 entries.
We are happy to say Str8jacket was represented in the Top 20. Not only was our short a part of the initial "You Spoof Discovery" broadcast, it was also featured on the Discovery Channel website in its entireity. Although the idea came from Str8jacket, it would never have seen the light of day without the incredible efforts of 3 other firms. A dream gig, the short is truly a collaborative effort between long time friends, all creative powerhouses.
