Kip's Tips is a lovingly-crafted parody of the children's television classic, Blue's Clues.

 

In 2008, I was asked to produce Stu's Clues, a short parody advertisement for an event at my church. The project was a phenomenal crash course in the study and replication of an existing brand & style. When that original video began to gain traction on YouTube, I decided to develop an entire parody series of my own, called Kip's Tips.

 

I was only able to create two "full" episodes in the midst of my college workload, which, combined, have gained over a million views. Unable to continue with such an intensive hybrid production, I created three additional Kip's Tips "super-shorts," along with an illustrated storybook explaining Kip & Ike's years-long absence.

 

The experience I gained on this small, college parody project would eventually lead to my hiring for GizmoGO! years later.
