well done.

what was the production like?

[Levity]

well done.

what was the production like?

thanks!

it was pretty straightforward. we're friends with the owner of the bar, so he let us start setting up at 5 that morning. started filming around 6, the same time the bar opened and a few locals came pouring in (was surprised how many old timers needed their 6 am drink). spent about 4 hours filming scenes there. the setting up of the lights is what took the most time. and then after, did the rest of the scenes at one house in about 2 hours time.

there were a handful of cutaways we took out, mainly to make it feel closer to a "real" commercial. overall, were happy with it, but are even more thrilled in knowing how accessible doing stuff like this is for us.

the guy talking to dave at the end of the clip, is going to be on a comedy central stand up special later this month. so the whole point of writing and producing this was so he can have some online content to his name, when said special drops.

Are you Dave?

[Levity]

cool beans, thx for explaining. it still amazes me how much production time even the shortest of creations require. actually it sounds like you all were extremely efficient in terms of the industry norms.

and wow... a bar that opens at 6AM... and regulars who need a drink that early...??

makes me feel a little better about my own borderline alcoholism, lol.

good job, op

haha no kidding. they were a "unique" bunch. one of them was trying/failing to make us laugh during filming by repeatedly making that pvssy licking face with his hands and mouth. it didnt make us laugh, more just made us feel uncomfortable

good job, op

What did you shoot with tell me about your sound equipment. Noticed a lot of noise in one outdoor shot

honestly, i have no idea. i mainly did the writing for it. the guy who did the filming is a videographer for Vans (shoes) commercials. so his boss let us use a bunch of their professional equipment. but ill ask him about it and let you know.

this pointless, little video we made sort of led us to something "substantial". Randomly, the Southern California Partnership for Jobs came across it, loved it, and want us to write some "real" commercials for them. were meeting with them next week to pitch ideas. so i just wanted to share my joy

and if any of you watched this and liked it, you may be pleased to hear that the next video were making later this week was inspired by you guys and your new found love for tacomas!! no joke.
