You’ve likely already noticed that Jorge has posted the photos and videos from MM2 over at his site. The Department of Redundancy Department tells me not to just borrow his code and post it all over again on my site, so I’ll just speak on my three favourite videos. (And yes, I know this is like a week late, but I’ve been waylaid with the croup for many days.)
3. Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control – Aside from everyone in this making me laugh, I remember the video coming together very quickly. This could be a sleep-dep-induced falsehood, but I think the time between initial conception to completing the entire shot was about fifty-eight seconds. And I also love that Moe lets out a tiny unscripted yeeeoooowroooar just before the camera moves away.
2. Dirty Harry – You can’t hear Isha laugh and not want to laugh with her. I also like that a pink lint-roller was a perfectly acceptable substitute for a .44 magnum. Throwing my voice (totally unplanned and unsolicited) into this one, I felt a little bit like that guy. Regardless, it didn’t stop me from being that guy and throwing myself into every other photo and movie we took after that.
1. District 13 – What don’t I love about this one? Initially, it was Mark’s mad parkour skills and his cartoon-y retreat that I liked the most. Having watched it many times , I now find Jorge to be far and away the funniest part of this. The motions (running with arms in the air, the he’s-getting-away gesture); the sounds (aaaaaawh! dyuh!) Comedy fucking gold, people.
Lastly, a word about how nerdy we were on this. In retrospect—at least as far as the movies go—I think we weren’t nerdy enough. The videos that turned out too dark, or that weren’t framed like I’d hoped… they sort of gall me. Next year we’re gonna do multiple takes, and we’re gonna have a steadicam. And we’ll have a budget.
