Dear Princess Celestia,

Sometimes your friends like things that you might think are a little weird or unusual. They may even like those things so much that they want to share them with you! You might think that you’re not interested, but if you haven’t tried it yourself, how could you possibly know? Getting angry or frustrated will just make your friend upset, and no one likes to have their intrests dismissed out of hand. Besides, if you keep an open mind, and trust your friends maybe you’ll find that the thing you originally thought was weird is actually a lot of fun! Then, you’ll have a whole new thing to share, and be closer friends than ever before!

Your faithful students,

The LoadingReadyRun Crew

Yo- Yo. bro. Hey, bro! Man, have I got some stories for you. You won’t even believe ’em!

LoadingReadyRun: Jonny
Unskippable: Cursed Crusade
Checkpoint: Masters of Code, Not Money

Allow me the (dubious) honour of introducing Jonny. Jonny’s a new addition to our character roster, but we expect that you’ll grow to love him. As if you don’t already. He’s the life of the party, after all!

Indeed, this isn’t the last time you’ll get to see Jonny wax poetic on his various celebratory adventures. We shot this video on Saturday at Ben’s house, and immediately thereafter, we moved to a different (and super secret) location to shoot another! Much like the Story Guy videos of days past, the plan is to have Jonny return from time to time, to recount a tale of drunken debauchery, sexual conquest, and felony substance abuse. You’ll have to wait a while for the next video though. As Much as Jonny talks tough, he doesn’t have a new story to tell every week. So keep checking back, and one day, like Cyclops, he will emerge from the shadows, and shred you with his razor wit… claws.

Cheers!

Checkpoint: Survey Says!

This shoot was extremely quick and easy, and we got to play around with some new equipment and a new location to boot! The office location was that of a local business who kindly allowed us in to shoot for about an hour on Saturday, an we’re thrilled they did, because the setting is perfect. I feel like the papers strewn about and office equipment present lends a sense of authenticity to the video that we aren’t often able to provide, so it was great to be acting on a really convincing set.

The new piece of equipment is a neat little Kessler Pocket Dolly we picked up. You’ll notice the camera move right at the beginning of the video. Keep an eye out for those small camera motions in future videos, because I expect that little device is going to see a lot of use.

The size of it is perfect for our needs too. We can easily transport it in the back of my car, and it takes seconds to set up and dismantle.  These are massive bonuses, given our relative distatte for planning, and effort. It’s super handy, and lets us add these cool little dynamic touches in places we weren’t prviously able. I think it’s found a good home with our group.

Cheers!
