final videos from the treasure hunt.
Someone found the medallion and ended the Pioneer Press treasure hunt yesterday. I had so much fun producing the video clues, in part because it was so outside of what normally passes for newspaper journalism. Entirely absurd stuff that I somehow found really gratifying and fulfilling! Here's a comment from a message board about the videos that I find especially delightful:
"...they've had Horny Nuns, One-Armed Whores, Gay Robots, Beheaded Pirate Puppets, Irate Columnists, Male Blow-Up Dolls, etc... - they really CAN'T sink much lower than they already have."
That'll be a real challenge for next year...
Last night I produced one last video of the actual clue writer hiding the medallion at Lilydale park. In the end he finally reveals who he is...
