CO-OP 0111 DROP AND GIVE ME E3: BEHIND THE SCENES

 

In the intro scene Ryan and I are playing with a cootie catcher, also known as a fortune teller. Did you know the cootie catcher dates back to the 1600's in Japan?  That's older than the first origami that is said to be made in 1680.

We needed a montage! So we threw Cesar in the trunk and drove over to McKinley Square Park. 

Once there we ran, did push ups, jumping jacks. We had a little funny bit where me and Jay are on a swing set and Rob and Ryan are pushing us, but that ended up on the editing room floor. This episode had a lot of funny moments that just didn't make it in the final version of the show, which happens. You have to use what makes the piece work and flow. 

There was another moment during the "name the developer" flash card game where I say "the Bioware Doctors" and Jay goes off on me. Jay's delivery was hilarious. If you look closely to that edit you can see that Jay starts to go off for a second, before it cuts to the close up of the cards. Maybe someday we'll take all the funniest out-takes and put them together in a episode.

If you were wondering why Miyamoto has pointy ears, it's not to look like Link or Zelda. It's more because we saw Star Trek that weekend.

Before I glued the faces on, Cesar was drawing the outlines of the bodies. On the one that happened to be Miyamoto's, he drew the body all buff to look like Bruce Lee, but the face looked more like Spock and that's when he drew on pointy ears. 

Thanks again to Carl and the guys at kidsamurai.com for sending us the awesome t-shirts.

Awesome shirts! ;)

I agree, outtakes would be awesome. Something to fill the gaps in between episodes, and presumably it wouldn't take too much time
