Coming soon, to a computer screen near you: It’s this week’s video.
Sorry about the late blog update, between the end of desert bus, and some serious sickness on my part (I barely got out of bed on Tuesday) this kind of fell through the cracks. In lieu of my own words, I present to you some things Paul had to say, because he wrote the video.
This video actually started with a completely different idea, I wanted to make a video that was a series of trailers for a Desert Bus movie. As I started going through the different movie options (Desert Bus of the Travelling Pants, The Desert BUs Runs Thought it, Field of Desert Bus, etc.), the one I kept coming back to was a parody of a James Cameron film. I have nothing against James Cameron, Terminator and Titanic were great and Avatar was a least fun to look at, but his increasingly ridiculous movie budgets and even more ridiculous box office returns makes him the perfect person to make Desert Bus: The Movie with the silliness it deserves. Once I had the idea and decided to do it in the format of one of those puff piece DVD documentaries, the pieces came together pretty quickly. I was especially happy with the shots of the CG artist working on placing every grain of sand and Katheen’s shot, in which we used a full body green screen to green screen her onto a bigger green screen! How’s that for tricky? I am also proud of how my photoshops of the Terry Gilliam and Stanley Kubrick movie posters turned out.
Unskippable this week was Yakuza 3: Part 2.
Really enjoyed the video guys; Good job Paul. I was really quite astonished at the different green screen pic. And the sand? That definitely felt like it would be a ridiculous think to be worried about.
Hope you feel better Matt.

I honestly had no clue how you got Kathleen’s shot. I was trying to think where. Now I am laughing at the thought.

Dammit Matt, every time I see this post I try to remember what Tim did in this video. You need to shave and stop wearing that hat!

The Clockwork Orange poster says it’s trying to get to “tuscan”?
