| 01/2004: Last Saturday
we had the opportunity to film a coupe of local bands (Pasty
White and The Dames). The
bands styles are so far apart from each other that it made for an
interesting night. Pasty White is currently recording the song that
they want a music video for so we're waiting on that. In the
meantime we're just finishing up a music video for The Dames 2001 release
of the song "Taiwan". We're liking how the video is
turning out so far. Once it passes the inspection from The Dames
we'll put the video online so you can check it out. The video should
be up within the week.
Tuesday Kent will be out at 1st Avenue doing a filming of Civilian for an "El-Cheapo" package for them. Then on the 23rd Kent will be out again at The Garage in Burnsville, MN to do another "El-Cheapo" package for Cary Aria. Apparently Cary Aria has a cool idea with the "El-Cheapo" package to use the footage to evaluate their performances and see how they are developing. 12/2003: Just finished a taping of Cary Aria (local band) at The Garage in Burnsville, MN last night. We're currently working on dumping it down to DVD. We're also in the middle of a HUGE new short film that is yet untitled. There's already been probably 40 more hours put into this film than we've ever put into any film we've done and we haven't even finished writing it yet! That's right... We're actually planning this one. It's been fun and interesting for everyone involved. We're always seeking for people who would like to be involved in the films and we're currently DESPERATELY SEEKING A LIGHTING/GAFFER person. We've already got a lot of "actors", professional sound people, and professional camera people. We're looking for cheap makeup and horror makeup artists. By "cheap" we mean that you'll work for damn near nothing except credit and supply money. We've also got 2-3 more bands that we'll be doing music video's for in the month of December ongoing through January 2004. We're pretty excited about these projects as well.

| 11/2003: At this moment we're working
on several music videos as well as several band featurettes that will all
be featured on a yet to be announced DVD release.
|
| 9/2003: Just finished
up the new Boneclub video for the song "Apple" from their 1994
release "Bellows". It's up in the media section for your
review. Boneclub approached me with this project after coming off of
a 6 year hiatus. Now Boneclub is back and they want you to know
about it.
|
| 5/2003: Just finished
up another short film called "Big Diaper Productions".
The film stars Kent, Shane and Brett and was crafted using a Canon XLs1
and Adobe Premiere (like most of the projects we've been doing in
2003). This film was done very spontaneously. The story was
written "on the fly" like all of our stories are and as we
thought of ideas we laid them down on tape to bring to you
another... Odd... Tasty Britches Film.
|
| 5/2003: Just finished up my first music video in Adobe Premiere for The Wonsers song "My Little Town". The video contains clips that I taped using our Sony DCR-TRV310 camera when my band Candystore was playing gigs with them in 2000. The clips are from '00 shows at The Turf Club in St. Paul and The Uptown Bar in Minneapolis. I'm not sure these guys even knew that I had these clips of them, but they were pretty happy to receive the video even though they've been broken up since '01. |
| 7/2001: "Buttsucking
Zombies" just finished production on our "less than
standard" equipment. This (and all movies before this) have
been taped using various video cameras using Digital-8 an VHS cameras and
then edited using the camera and a VCR. It's a rather difficult and
less than satisfactory method, but it's the only method we've had!
|
| 7/2001: "Don't Bark In The House" - FINISHED! This has to be one of the simplest movies we've made to date, but... I think it's a hit! Repetition is one of the keys to comedy and this movie proves it. |
| 7/2001:
"Earl" - wrapped. This could be our worst ever film.
Bad idea, bad storyline and just plain bad. But... Two guys
and a camera. What do you expect? The ending actually isn't
that bad. It's just the fact that you have to get there.
|
| 9/1999: "Indian Weis And The Magic 8 Ball" is born. This one was filmed using an old VHS camera and edited using the camera and a VCR. The sun went down and the film was never actually finished, but the first half is absolute entertainment. This one is has Oscar written all over it. |
