May The Force Be With You

Last week on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert announced the finalists for The Colbert Report Green Screen Challenge (in case you haven't been following, Colbert shot some green screen footage of himself swinging a light saber around and challenged viewers to be creative with the footage).

The first finalist was Bonnie R. from Torrence, California. Her video, titled Freedom Fighter, was pretty good. Basically, we see the "bold and courageous" Stephen Colbert in an epic struggle for freedom (you can find it here, just click on 'Green Screen Winner').

The second finalist was George L., who actually came to the studio (I can't help but feel like I've seen this guy before). Here's his video on YouTube. I must say, the production value is quite advanced; I bet this cost him one maybe two hundred dollars to put together.

Ultimately, Bonnie R. went on to become the official winner of the challenge, however there is no doubt in my mind that we'll be seeing more of George L. beyond his 15 minutes of fame on The Colbert Report.
