Dmitriy, Josh, and John are trying out for a TV show called Build Anything by Proper Television. After I made the video of the rocket launch, I volunteered to create the audition tape for them.

Here is the audition tape:

I want to wish Dmitriy, Josh, and John the best of luck as they go on in the casting!

Let me know what you think of it. The last minute of the video is the BEST! 🙂
