"Hillary 1984" Creator Interviewed BY YouTube
The Hillary 1984 ad's massive viral success has created a new standard of YouTube success: being personally interviewed by a YouTube editor about the creation of your video. Given the controversy generated by this video, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Hillary 1984's creator to step forward and answer some questions. Some fun facts learned from this conversation: ParkRidge47's real name is Phil de Vellis, he lives in Washington DC, and the reveal of his identity has cost him his job.
De Vellis's new place on the unemployment line is a shame. But his statements about anonymous protest and political commentary being a proud tradition -- not to mention his clearly demonstrated abilities with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop -- ought to help him out on the job market. After all, "Created huge maelstrom of political debate with homemade viral video" looks great on a resume.
