Oh wait. We don't just embed cool videos on our blog. We make them too. Within 48 hours, the first episode of our latest webseries, MICHAEL PHELPS IN SWIMKATA! will be posted in all its internet-y glory. It's our second collaboration with STUDIO FRED after the success of our WGA Strike Video ATTACK OF THE D-GIRLS.We filmed the whole thing at a friend's pool in Reseda (and the alley outside) on Monday, and the director Brandon has currently sealed himself inside an editing bay to have the thing ready before Phelps hosts SNL this Saturday. (Thus beating our post-production record by, oh, two and a half months.)
It's always a weird thing watching a script getting filmed. It's never the same as it appeared in your head. Not necessarily better or worse, just... different. Luckily, Brandon had lots of cool ideas for visuals that will make the vid exceed my expectations.
Here's Brandon directing our Phelps (Christopher Biewer) and Jason Bowers as Chinese dude.
Randall and Brandon - Studio Fred in all their glory -make extra sure their new HD camera doesn't fall in the water.
Bennie and Chris become lotion buddies.
The joys of guerilla filmmaking. (At least we had someone wet down the alley to protect bare feet from getting burned.)
