Break a Leg

Here you can place your thoughts, found inside-jokes, plot discussions and other, various Episode 4-6 thoughts here.

Tell us what you think! Are you enjoying the new format? The character development? Other stuff? Let us know.

Enjoy!

so i just wrote down all of the found things and little inside jokes that i could find, and then realized that i would be kind of spoiling the fun for everyone. so here are some of my favorites:

"batboy speaks out on the iraq war"
bow chicka wow wow
a kid thinks david is a high school student
chase's...uh...portrait
(and my favorite) "ta da!"

and now for questions:
is the broom in "groommates" on purpose?
is jennifer's beard permanent?

probably more to come. episode 4 was really good!

This animator surely hopes there was a reason the Broommates scene was cut like my abs. Poor Justin missed a whole night of sleep just so he could push spacebar for me couple thousand times. Cutting out those sweet, sweet puns that gives Broommates the predictable charm is unlawful, if I may be abroompt (dammit, I am no good at puns).

Do the right thing.

Mas broommation, por favor.

And plant a tree for Tu B'shevat.

Kevin -- The broom is, of course, there on purpose. The batboy joke is one of my favorites, Dashiell made that a while ago for something and it always made me laugh.

Jennifer's beard IS real, yeah. As is his cape. Oh, he's wearing a cape.

Adam -- It was so hard to cut down Broommates that it hurt. But it was dragging on, so we took the two funniest parts. We plan on releasing the full version as a stand alone video after the episode is released, don't worry. We're also writing a blog with all the pics and videos of you making both of em'.

As for more Broommates -- we're making the first 30 minute episode of it soon, right? right?

If we are, Monica and I volunteer to sing a 30 minute long Broommate-themed song.

Some fun trivia --

-The K? segment was made by Dashiell. We built it in our super-secret shooting location where we're technically not allowed to shoot and we built it the same day we shot it (And took it apart the same day.) The set is based on E!'s sets, and is composed of two monitors, three thin pieces of wood which we covered with colorful wrapping paper -- with each side having a different design.

The black metal thing is something E! does too, and we used a TV cart (my idea that they thought would never work! Ha! HA!)

The two actors are new, and are named Felicia Williams and Elan Fredrickson.

Also, the host's name is Brad Dradley, and Rachel calls him "Bradley" -- making both their names rhyme.

-There is a scene that was cut-out where Rachel talks to Stan Marley -- we'll be releasing that later.

-The Broommates animation was made by Adam Cohen and Justin, who drove 30 minutes to Adam's house, having literally no sleep the previous day, and worked at least 16 hours on making it. The scene was longer originally and had to be cut down.

-The set for Broommates was built on painted on a friday night. While we were shooting other scenes in the high school, Dashiell and a few other people put up the set and used a bunch of props from the school's drama department. We had to then take the whole thing down on Sunday.

-The students did the show for extra credit and were fantastic, waiting on us for at least 4-5 hours. You'll see a good amount more of them later on.

-The wide shot, after Francesca storms off shows me and Jennifer. This isn't, in fact, Jennifer. Because we shot that much later, we didn't want him to come down just to show the back of his head, so we took his cape and hat and put it on a good friend of ours, Hugo Martin (he's Tachko in Mint's band).

And.. I think that's it. Crew, actors, feel free to add on. Only for this part though! No ruining the rest.

I am so pumped for more Broommates. I think my parents are getting really sick and tired of me singing "I'm a broom. You're a knife. Will you be my wife?" around the house. They probably have a countdown until I go back to school.

One of the teachers was there during the filming of the classroom segment.
And let me tell you, hearing a history teacher use the word "manhammer" when helping us direct the students was a moment I will cherish forever.

I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
Episode four was brilliant.
I'll give a more detailed rant about how great you guys are later.

Welcome back, Hannah! We missed you too.

What does everyone think of the last two episodes?

awesome.

so are we going to have to wait for episode 7? because this topic said 4, 5, and 6...

Nah, I just wrote the ones that are up so far.

You guys will get 3 more episodes after this, until Episode 9.

i just realized that i'm in episode 6!

i'm in the related videos on youtube in the bottom right. i feel so accomplished.

Man, I can't believe you caught that, I made it and I don't think I would have caught it, heh. Kudos to you sir.

i didn't get it at first either, but when i was re-watching i thought, "hey, i wonder if i'm--OH MY GOD!!"

i like to think that it was a consolation prize. also: if you guys make it to tv and show it in high-def people will be able to see my username on youtube and shower me with glory.

Sounds like your dream is our dream ;0).
