Trust me, if you’re a video person, this post’s title is hilarious. And I just thought of it now.
The first in our new campaign of “more behind-the-scenes stuff” is a video of all the effects shots in The Job, with and without the effects applied. Now you too, can see how it’s done!

While it was nice to have a pretty normal, straightforward shoot in-between withTucson or Bust, cH and the Christmas special around the same time, it was still at an awkward time.
We’d planned on shooting this and Merry Christmas Graham Stark on the same day, in tandem. But in that instance, Paul was cast as Ethan in Phone Manner and Linus in the xmas special, so we couldn’t juggle it properly.
Rescheduling for Sunday morning (before the usual Sunday ENN anchordesk shooting) Ben, Paul, Alex, Kathleen and myself (now recast as Ethan, since that was the original plan) went down to Ben’s office and fired it out fairly quickly. It’s not a long video, but still, it’s nice when things go fairly smoothly. We even cared about things like lighting properly so Alex didn’t get horribly backlit by the giant windows.
Anyway, not much to say, enjoy some pictures!
Hey hey, Matt here with some behind the scenes photo’s for House of the Dead!
This was a long shoot, but so very worth it. To get this one done we had to wrangle a large number of people, which is always a hassle. We also did costumes and make-up, which we aren’t really accustomed to. It also didn’t help that the weather that morning was an onslaught of torrential rain. I haven’t got much to add for this video that wasn’t covered in the podcast, but I should offer a big thank you to everyone shown in these pictures – they may not all have been in the video, but we couldn’t have made it without them.
Enjoy!
As you all know over the past month and a half we have been in the process of moving our office across the hall (and by across the hall, we mean right across the hall. The door from the old office to the new office is 4 feet away) As you have seen, heard and read about over the last couple weeks was this wasn’t just as simple as picking up and moving shit across the hall. This was a major operation, in which along with blood, sweat and tears a good chunk of change and a good amount of time was speant. Here is my original list of things that needed to happen:
MAIN ROOM:
– Paint
– Lay carpet
– Reinstall baseboards and molding around door and windows.
– Insulate wall to right of large door and cover
– Install clothing rack and shelf along front wall
– Cover ceiling with fabricThis is going to be the “easy room” basically what we did to our current area but a bit larger scale with the addition of the ceiling work.
BACK ROOM:
– Tear down existing particle board
– Build out around electrical area and close off (with doors for access)
– Build wall over opened entrance to room
– Drywall entire room, minus right hand wall
– Lay Carpet
– Paint
This was no small task, especially when you take into consideration the majority of us aren’t the most knowledgeable people when it comes to renovations. Monday, May 11th (The first day we started and where large portion of the new loadingtime footage came from) was the longest day by far. We speant over 14 hours in the office that day, we got a huge amount of work done and I think all of us went home as tired as we had ever been before. After that it was pretty much just “when you can get down to the office for a couple hours, GO” And over the next 2 weeks we all pitched in here and there and got the place looking like a respectable office space. So without further ado, I introduce you to “LRR Moonbase MK II”
We put a lot of work into the new Moonbase, as hopefully these pictures will illustrate. For additional insight into our pain, check out the latest Loading Time video on the subject. The photo captions will explain what’s going on, but trust that it was three weeks of solid, hard work—and totally worth it.
