106.7 The Drive
July 12th, 2010

Posted by Matt

Alrighty-Tighty kids! Today’s video is up, and it’s live! It’s 106.7 The Driiiiiive!

For the record, that’s Dale doing the voice – there’s no filter.

This video has been one that we’ve been trying to shoot forever – months easily. It might surprise you to learn that radio stations which operate as businesses are hard to get into to use their studios as a set. Not impossible, mind you, but hard. In the end we got in touch with our local University radio station, CFUV. With multiple training studios, and recording booths they were able to fit us in without any great disruption to their daily operation. Thanks CFUV! We couldn’t have shot this without you!

Unskippable went up today as well! Today: Lost Planet 2: Part 2

Crapshot Roundup – July 2, 2010
July 3rd, 2010

Posted by Matt

Crapshots! They’re a thing that we do. They’re little, bite-sized packages of hilarity (like Alex’s junk -m) ready to consume at your convenience. Assuming your convenience means every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. To make your convenience more convenient, I’m going to post these Crapshot roundups from now on! Every Friday evening, I will collect and post the week’s Crapshots right here! So now you can get all your Crapshots in one place! (Yes, I am aware that the Crapshotvideo youtube channel also counts as “one place”. Shut up.)

If you haven’t yet watched the backlog of Crapshots, what are you waiting for!? GO NOW.

For the rest of you:

Episode 34: The Slam

Episode 35: The Interrogation

Episode 36: The Dance

See you next week! Same Crap time, same Crap channel.

(Hmm… Maybe I need a better catch phrase.)

Conan’s Witnesses

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, our video, destined to wear the jeweled crown of hilarity upon a troubled brow.

I really don’t have a great deal to report about this video, as it was about as straightforward to shoot as it looks, once we got the props, costumes, and location together. This video was written by Graham and Kathleen, and when the script got a good laugh from the crew upon first reading, we knew it had to be done. If nothing else, it gave us a chance to make use of the nifty chinese prop-sword we got at Garagellenium a couple weeks ago!

Enjoy!

UPDATE: so, apparently in a coincidence of rather cosmic proportions, this apparently turned up on the net this week as well:

Ways to Wake Someone Up
June 21st, 2010

Posted by Matt

Wake up, Sleepyhead! The new LRR video is online!

We filmed this video a few weeks back as the third and final chapter in the “Sleepytime Trilogy” consisting of this video, Ways to Stay Awake, and Ways to Fall Asleep. We had a lot of fun coming up with the various ways that we would try to wake Paul up.

In the shot of us with instruments (this one):

We are all collectively playing instruments that we used to play (or still do currently). It should be noted, though, that my saxophone didn’t have a reed in it, Paul played the flute in high school, and that was Jer’s clarinet (I think).

In other fun trivia, the can of pepper spray was actually a can of AXE deodorant spray, so for the rest of the shoot the room reeked of AXE, and I think we all ended up with nasty headaches by the end of the night (but none as nasty as Paul’s, for reasons you’ll discover upon watching).

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!
