Editing, Editing, Editing...

Hey all,

Just a quick update on the weekend's festivities. With three scenes left to shoot and our actors mostly far too busy with holiday-related activities to shoot, we've dove headfirst into editing. In fact, the entire episode is completely rough cut -- meaning, it's edited, just roughly, without any sound work, music or graphics. It's also unpolished, so some of the lesser funnies may be thrown out.

The conversation should be out soon - it's done and ready to be put out. It should be noted that the whole conversation being released was improvised -- there was no script, and, in fact, no cuts. It's one, long, funny improvised take -- at least we hope you think it's funny.

 Okay! Back to editing.

-Yuri

I think Mint should get a part too.

I'm always impressed with how good of an improvisor Dustin (Mint) is. All I have to do is react and give him something to play off of. There were so many other takes where he was so hilarious that he made us both laugh.

One line that I love that didn't make the cut was him saying, "Look, David, we have a problem. I don't mean to be a beer... I mean a bear. Well, I never want to be a bear..."

It's just.. so random that I love it dearly.

But yes, what I'm most proud of in this conversation is that not only is it all improvised, but it's one long take -- meaning, no cuts, nothing. That's the way we did it, there's no editing, aside from throwing in the title and the end animation.
