This week’s video, featuring twice as much dialogue as a regular video*, is online for your viewing pleasure!

*That’s not actually accurate of course, but you get the idea.

This is a video Andy wrote a while back, and when Andy comes up with a video it’s usually a winner, so we had to shoot it. Also, he was only in town for a couple months, and it gave us a chance to have him in a video—something everyone likes to see.

Shooting was quick, if a little tricky. The hill we shot this on is very near my house, but it was still about 10-15 minutes to get up it, with camera and microphone. Once we got up there and figured out the location though, it went really fast. For most shots, we would deliver our line as normal, and then Matt (while running boom) would mouth the echo line silently so we knew how long to pause before continuing with our next line.

We originally recorded the whole video’s dialogue again as audio only, so I could make the echos from it. But it turns out that for instances where a line didn’t change, it sounded wrong to use a different clip, so I only used different audio when the line was specifically different.

The funniest part for us was recording those lines. Since I wanted to make sure they sounded the same as the regular audio, we recorded them at the location right after we had finished shooting. So, imagine if you will, Andy and I standing on a hill in a public park yelling the echo lines back and forth. I yell “Your wife’s a bitch” four times and Andy replies with “I am a homosexual” before going off about his Austrian stable-boy fantasy… it was an odd moment. I think we confused some joggers.

Here’s some pictures from the shoot:

Additionally, this week’s Unskippable riffs on a game that is Legendary in name only.

And of course, there are some new Crap Shots you should see. Check out The Drainage for some fancy effects, The Accusation for a real WTF moment, and The Measurement for even-more-WTF-than-the-other-one.
