Okay, so let me tell you about this crazy thing I did the other day. I’ve been wanting to make one of those viral videos, you know, the ones that just blow up online? So, I had this idea, a bit out there, but I thought, why not? “School Teacher at the Fan Van Video,” that’s what I called it. Sounds weird, right? But stick with me.
First things first, I needed a van. Not just any van, a fan van. I pictured this old-school van, you know the kind, maybe a bit rusty but full of character. Luckily, my buddy had one parked up that he wasn’t using, I think he bought it for his old band or something. So, I borrowed it, gave it a quick clean – it was pretty dusty, to be honest – and that was my fan van sorted.
Next, I needed a school teacher. Now, I’m not actually a teacher, but I do have this old, tweed jacket and some glasses that make me look the part. I even practiced talking a bit more formally, like those teachers from back in the day. I was really getting into character, it was kinda fun.
Then came the hard part – the fans. I wanted the whole van filled with those old handheld fans, you know the ones that old ladies used to have? I went everywhere looking for them, thrift stores, flea markets, online… I felt like a bit of a weirdo at times! Finally, I had enough to fill the back of the van. It was a sight, I tell you.
So, there I was, dressed like a school teacher, sitting in a van full of handheld fans. I started the camera, took a deep breath, and just went for it. I started talking about some random school subject, I think it was history, waving a fan around like I was trying to keep cool in a stuffy classroom. I even threw in a few “pop quizzes” to the imaginary students. It was so ridiculous, but I couldn’t stop laughing.
The whole thing took a few hours to film, mostly because I kept cracking up. I was also not sure if this was the dumbest idea ever or pure genius. Then I spent a whole evening editing the thing, adding some old-timey music to make it even more dramatic. It was a mess, but a fun mess.
Finally, I uploaded it. I didn’t really expect much, to be honest. But then, something crazy happened. People started watching it. And sharing it. And commenting. It was actually going viral! I couldn’t believe it. My silly little “School Teacher at the Fan Van Video” was a hit!
It just goes to show, you never know what’s going to resonate with people online. Sometimes, the weirder the better, I guess. I’m still getting messages about it, it’s pretty wild. I even had some actual teachers reach out to me saying they loved it! Who would have thought?
So yeah, that’s my story. It was a lot of work, a lot of laughs, and a lot of fans. But in the end, it was totally worth it. I made a viral video, and it was even more fun than I ever imagined. Maybe I’ll make another one, who knows! But for now, I’m just enjoying my fifteen minutes of fame. And maybe I’ll even keep the teacher outfit, you never know when it might come in handy again.
