Oh man, the ideas we went through to get to this.
We knew we wanted to do something Wii-related, but what? There's alsmot too many jokes to make.

For reference, this week's intro, inspired by this animation.

End result, I really like this video. I think it's neat.

Et toi?

Great, FART was especially excellent. A few thigns though:
Good job with using more shots :D It really made it turn out well (the last two ones have had like, three shots total ><). A few thigns though: Why is there sometimes a very annoying underlying buzz? It really gets in the way. Also, the loading time was espeically long, and when Paul said "Viva La Revolution" it sounded like "Via the revolution!"
Anyways, great video :D


PS: New logo thing was cool.

We have not the best microphones, and that is our biggest problem in terms of production values. We just bought a sweet lapel mic though, and it did well for a lot of shots.

Also, we were shooting in the kitchen, and what you probably heard there was the fridge, more than any microphone hum.

Yesss...that fridge WILL blow up one of these days....

The close up of you in the first scene is tremedously dope Graham, it turned out great. Also, I believed James' death, it brought tears to my eyes and also a gleam hope that lawyers everywhere can be melted using foamy guiness mugs, ahhh, shall I dream?

Awesome video. From the looks of it, quicktime has abondoned us poor ME users, seeing as version 7 hates us. ¬_¬

It is the same with Mac OS 9. I'm going to see if I can rig up a detection system to serve the old version to those who need it.

Hey presto! Now if you don't have Quicktime 7 installed, it should serve the mp4 version. Not as good and bigger, but at least you can see it.

My brother was standing over my shoulder when I was watching that, so whenever you guys made the FART jokes I tried REALLY hard not to laugh. Couldn't help it.

AWESOME concept guys. Loved the Video.

It's his own fault for using perminant marker on a white board.

That was awesome. I really liked the pacing for the majority of the episode. The FART meeting things slowed down jsut a bit but not that much.

and H.264 is looking amazing.

Yes, when I heard about "Wii" I thought...okay...it's like they know everyone will make fun of it and generate huge publicity for the system. But, when great things like this video come out of it, I don't question! So fun! I liked the pants jokes, FART and the fact most people spent the entire video trying not to crack up. And to you I say "neep!"

the opening animation was brilliant. To be honest the FART meeting wasn't that funny to me. Yeah yeah we all know it's fart humor but it's been done a million times. I've come to love the well thought out original gags that you guys pull off. I mean it was still good but definitely not your best.

Great video! This has officially become my favorite. Although fart humor is heard a lot, you guys pulled it off in a completely different way!

Edit: The opening logo was amazing. I miss the blue, but it's still great.

Edit #2: I want that shirt Morgan is wearing.

The opening logo is only for this week, because of the wii thing.

Also, I guess those are burns on Bill... I hadn't actually noticed!

I love that James looks kind of like Phoenix Wright. (That probably wasn't intentional . . . or WAS it?)

Also, to the poster named Edgeworth: the internet has certain opinions concerning you and Mr. Wright.

I loved the video, the intro and sequence leading up to the meeting was fantastic, but like fumbles said, the fart jokes did seem a bit to cliche, I love that you guys usually make up fantastic and original jokes instead of something that's been done time over time. I did love the whole "pants" fiasco, reminded me of 30 minutes or less.

The intro - whoa.
The use of 'Viva La Revolution' (at least I think it was that) - Nice.
Overall, fantastic. Especially the bit where Graham steps to the side and morgan pops out the window. The whole 'we're making a stand' bit, the head turning, the fist thrusting, all that. Nicely done.

I like the way it jumps from place to place but the camera doesn't really move. Alot like the old Twilight Zone, before the new series ruined it. The camera was almost always positioned in the same few places and where appropriate it would cut to different positions. Rarely would it pan across; only to show the environment or to make a point. Either way, I like your camera work.

Apparently my tricky Javascript detection system was to advanced for older browsers, which makes it kind of useless. So, for now, there is just a link at the top of the video pop-up to change to the mp4 version.
