It went down like this. I was in a particularly intelligent place, fresh off the filming of "Hey, Rube". Dom had dropped off the final cut on his way to a Friday Night Wiffle in Waltham. I quite unexpectedly was available for a little wiffle and caught a ride with the star and editor of Hey, Rube.
Not long after the game started, the weather took a serious turn for the worse. Sheets of rain were throbbing from the dark sky. The wifflers played on. The crackle of thunder from nearby bolts of lightning started to pierce the ears. The wifflers played on.
Finally after a long and excruciating wait, bad colonies proudly unveils the epic "Hey, Rube". In order to optimize your viewing pleasure, it is highly recommended that you proceed as detailed below.
1. Watch video below.
2. Think to self, "WTF?"
3. Read this full post.
4. Watch again and state to self, "Ahhhhh, I think I get it."
Enjoy, comment, and send on to others, lots and lots of others.
Yesterday a cast of thousands three gathered at the bad colonies movie studio to film what will surely be the second most anticipated movie of the year (Where The Wild Things Are wins top title). I spent the previous days tolling away with the Executive Producer (Isadora) to create a set of epic proportions and a breakfast machine that actually worked, sort of actually worked. Despite the muggy conditions and a looming actors strike for wine and beer, we marched through the complexities of the script and captured some amazing shots. The video is currently in the bad colonies editing studio high up in the mountains, but here are a few photos to hold you over.
The three most common questions that I get from people are:
1. How much will it cost?
2. What's it get for mileage?
3. What is Ford going to do to screw it up?
I tend to deflect the first question and wax philosophical on the third (more in part 3). However, I have plenty of raw data to attack number two. It would be a lie to say that I am happy with our MPG so far, it is at least 5 MPG below what I expected. Now as with most things, there is more to this story than simply a number that sits on our website. This is mainly an informational post. If you want further info or read-outs, drop a comment.
