Nick Corbin Productions

7 years ago I was the "Runner Up" to the "Best Filmmaker in Toledo" Congrats all the runners up today. I hope you have as much fun as I did. Thanks,



This video is a comedic "mockumentary" style promo featuring Nick Corbin, who had been named "Runner Up" for Toledo’s Best Filmmaker in 2019. The video is edited with a lo-fi, VHS-inspired aesthetic, including tracking lines, static, and a "PLAY" overlay. Throughout the clip, every time Nick tries to claim he was voted "Toledo's Best Filmmaker," a computerized voice cuts in to clarify he was actually the "Runner Up." Nick humorously claims his success is due to his connections with stars like Frank Stallone, Sean Penn, and Eric Roberts. He even includes a poorly cropped image of the musician Sting. He jokes about moving to Hollywood, accompanied by a quick, grainy clip of a classic Hollywood street scene. To demonstrate his filmmaking prowess, Nick "showcases" several intentionally amateur digital effects, including a small emoji-style cloud and a flickering fire icon appearing in his hand. The video ends with a retro, colorful graphic featuring Nick's face and the title "Runner Up Movie Man."
