We’ll all be there, and it’s gonna be a fun time for everyone.
So… be there!

LRR 6th Anniversary Screening in Vancouver:

Hey everyone!
Last year we had a blast at the 5-Year Screening, so we decided to have another one this year. But this year we needed a bigger space, and that meant a bigger city (well, also because so many of our fans came in from Vancouver for last year’s event).

So, we’re pleased to announce:
The LRR 6-Year Screening
Saturday November 7th

2:00PM – 5:30PM
The Rio Theatre, Vancouver, BC

Information on The Rio Theatre here.
It’s right by Commercial SkyTrain station, so it’s easy to get to, and there’s plenty of street parking nearby.

TICKETS:
Tix are $6.00 CDN and are available online here: through Brown Paper Tickets.
Assuming online tickets don’t sell out (which would be impressive) additional tickets will be $6 at the door.

We’ll be there, and we hope you will too!
More info on what shenanigans to expect to follow.

Tube Men Enter
July 29th, 2009

So this was entirely my brainchild. So if you hated it, go suck on an egg.

Basically the process went something like this:

1. While working a couple weeks ago I came across these very large (roughly 9′ long) cardboard tubes. I was instantly intriqued and my mind started to wander.

2. The first thing that came to my head was the wide shot of both Matt and Tim at a stand still, thats my favorite part of the video.

3. I then story boarded the rest of it and we went from there.

It took a lot longer to shoot than you would think. We are slow and lazy. Here are some behind the scene pictures mapping out how we actually got some of the shots.

Moonbase 2.0 Part 3: The Reveal
June 18th, 2009

Posted by james

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 fabric

This 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”

Moonbase 2.0 Part 2: The Renovatening

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.
