Crap Shots – Additional Comedy
May 21st, 2010

Posted by Graham

For those of you who are already in on this complete secret (unless you read Twitter, or—y’know—the forums) this won’t be a surprise, but for everyone else this is new and surprising!

I am pleased to present: Crap Shots.

A twitter follower described Crap Shots to me as an after-dinner mint to LRR’s meal, and I feel that’s apt.

Crap Shots are little videos, usually <1 minute in length, that we throw together whenever an idea hits us, and isn’t really an idea that works for a whole video. Most of them involve myself and Alex (who oversees, edits and produces the series), but the only requirements for involvement are being nearby, so expect to see… everyone, really.

Right now they just have their own YouTube channel, but maybe we’ll start posting them here. They update Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so we’re not sure how that would work yet.

Here’s one that’s already pretty popular:

Please subscribe to the channel, and we hope you enjoy them!

Hot Water at PAX
April 12th, 2010

And with this update, commodoreHUSTLE makes its triumphant debut on The Escapist.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do take long showers. Very long.

This video was a bit of an experiment for the lot of us. We hadn’t really planned on filming a full video at the con, but Graham wrote this script on the plane to Boston to kill time. We hadn’t brought the big camera with us (it’s risky to transport stuff like that, and Delta was charging $25 for every piece of checked luggage), but G had purchased a Canon Rebel T2i to document the trip with, and it just so happens that this new camera also shoots HD video. Such was the genesis of this video.

Oh, by the way, I’ll be posting a pretty substantial news item/announcement on this blog tomorrow, so I’d advise you to check back.

Cheers!

Who You Gonna Call?
April 5th, 2010

Posted by Matt

It’s up! Go watch it!

This script, like that for Le Cafe last week, is one we’ve had kicking around for quite some time. Both scripts were written by Paul, and both presented unique location issues. However, these issues resolved themselves around the same time, through the relationship we’ve developed with the Victoria Event Centre (home of the Phillips Comedy Night). We owe a great deal of thanks to them for the use of their facility.

Who You Gonna Call was filmed in a few hours after dark on the roof of the VEC, the week before we left for PAX East and New York. It was a relatively fast and straightforward shoot, but preparations took most of the day. We wanted to make absolutely certain that this video looked great, so that meant spending as much time as possible putting together the costumes for our heroes. Some serious rummaging though Value Village later, and I don’t think we could have done much better.

Enjoy!

Redundancy
March 23rd, 2010

You should watch the video because it is up so you should watch it.

We filmed this video several weeks ago, and it was about as straightforward a shoot as you could expect. Naturally, we used the “office set” in the common room of Graham’s house, since it seems to work.

This was actually filmed before the move into our new office space, and our new office space actually has proper office space, so you may see some new sets showing up soon.

Enjoy!
