For filmmaker Michael Bay slow motion is part of a complete breakfast.

Last month my wife and I got an HD video camera and I'm pretty sure I love it more than our future children. Definitely more than our cat. Sorry, kitty. Maybe if you didn't snore I wouldn't want to throw you in a wood chipper. Seriously, a snoring cat? I thought that only happened in cartoons.

Anyway, this camera is beautiful. Eventually I'd like to use it to do wedding videos but in the meantime I made a short movie to practice editing, cinematography, etc. But before I post it I feel like I should explain something.

Now we've all seen at least one of Michael Bay's films. If you can't remember any off the top of your head just try thinking of the last movie you saw where the characters were sweating for no reason and every five minutes there was a mandatory explosion followed by a car flying off a building and crashing into a flaming helicopter in slow motion. All essential elements of any Michael Bay masterpiece.

I'm not criticizing the guy. You can't deny that his movies are successful. He could film himself taking a dump and call it Armageddon 2: You're Literally About To Watch Me Poop For Two Hours and people would go see it.

He just has a way of making the ordinary look epic, and I respect that. So the following video is an impression of Michael Bay eating a bowl of cereal:
