Self-Portrayal Anime Videos

This Dad Created a Dragon Ball Z Video Featuring Himself and His Son

How would you like to be featured in your very own Dragon Ball Z video? For most the chances of this are very unlikely, but one lucky kid had his dreams come true when his dad put in the effort for six months and created an anime video featuring himself and his son.

Robson Menezes dos Santos is the mastermind behind this intricate short, complete with a family photo show around the 3:05 mark. While the kid may be quite young now and fully appreciate the fact that he's been featured as an anime character in his very own video, hopefully when high school hits he'll still appreciate the time and effort his dad spent on this project. Some kids have home movies to look back on, but dos Santos has ensured his child has a little something extra to cherish for years to come.
