Back in 2001, I started a website for my buddies called The Adventure Page. It was a nice place for us to interactive on the web and post pictures and keep in touch with each other. Over time we started making movies and those movies became the main focus of the site. When that happened, we decided to scrap The Adventure Page and create a new website just for our movies titled Give Me Back My Son Productions.

For some strange reason, people really caught onto it. This was way before the days of YouTube so the movies we were making really gained popularity, probably because of the lack of anything quite like it on the web at that time. We made movies all throughout high school and especially right after we graduated but when the time came for us to go on missions the website pretty much went under.

Fast forward to 2007. Andrew and I talked about bringing the website back, so with his improved skills he worked diligently and redesigned the website making it look better than ever. That’s where I came in. I wanted to make the site way more functional and make it very easy to maintain. I spent a LOT of time reprogramming it and I believe I finally got it to the point where I am very satisfied with the results.

In the past the quality of the videos was very poor, so I took all our old video files and re-encoded them and re-uploaded them onto the web using a service called Vimeo which is WAY better than YouTube. I effing hate YouTube. Anything you upload to it always goes through an automatic crap filter and makes your video look like grainy garbage. With Vimeo we were able to find a perfect solution for hosting our movies.

With all that said, I suggest you check out the new version of Give Me Back My Son by heading over to givemebackmyson.com. A lot of the movies are really old and highly embarassing but there is still some good and entertaining stuff to see. Watch the movies, rate them, leave some feedback and please, tell your friends.

We’ve got lots of plans for the future of the website. We filmed some promos last Saturday and we will be filming more stuff this Saturday so be sure to keep us in mind. Rock!
