STOP THE PRESSES! LOADINGREADYRUN’S NEW VIDEO IS ONLINE! GO WATCH IT BEFORE DEADLINE, OR YOU’RE FIRED!
Todays video comes to you courtesy of our good friend Wes Borg, who not only played the starring role (brilliantly, I might add), but also wrote it! (Brilliantly, I might add.)
Wes cut no corners in getting into character for this role. That’s a real cigar, and his vocal tones were assisted by the kind of assault that only a third of a bottle of Jagermeister can provide. His outstanding writing and performance probably rank this video among my recent favourites.
As far as technicalities are concerned, this shoot was pretty straightforward. We were on location for this video, as we needed an office that had a very specific aesthetic to make the video work the way we wanted it to. There were some fiddly bits to work out with specific shooting angles, and we unfortunately lost a lens due to a mishap involving a desk and a floor, but for the most part we were in and out.
Big thanks to Wes, and to our friend at a local newspaper who allowed us to use his office!
Astounding work. That’s all there is to be said.

I’m not saying that I didn’t laugh at it, and I’m definitley not saying that I didn’t lose it when Wes started chomping on that cigar; but that desk of his could definitely have been messier. I mean come on, you can still see what it’s made out of!

Definitely one of my favorite videos in a long time. Absolutely brilliant.

It is my favorite episode in a very long time, but ain’t acting a lot harder after a third of a bottle of Jagermeister?

I wonder if the cocaine was real.

@addeB He was entirely serious the whole time. Ponies are big news.

When this started.. i didn’t read this article first… I thought that guy looked familiar… i was praying it was Wes from 3 dead trolls in a baggie! Boy was i NOT disappointed.. I love Wes, and i’m super happy to see he’s still around doing his thing. It wasn’t my favorite LLR video, or dead troll video.. but man was it awesome to see both worlds mix…
Please more collaboration with Wes!!!

Awesome video and Wes was an awesome grizzled newspaper man. Though I’m disappointed about the lack of a heart warming story of a man and his dog winning at the international rock paper scissors olympics.

Awesome video.
Sucks that you lost a lens. Hope it was just the kit lens.
