Olympic Waterboarding Drip-Drops
ASW teams up again with the fellas over at Steve’s Word (a.k.a ourselves) for another viral video sketch. Watch the video here or on YouTube. It never ceases to amaze how productions can come together. This little ditty had been in the works for months because we knew we wanted to release it before the end of the Beijing Games. Now, this isn’t to say that we didn’t plan the heck out of it, but so many key elements came together at the last moment. For instance, Danny Brothers not only stepped up to play the part of Robert Jeffries, but he secured us our basement location TWO DAYS before the shoot. We’d been asking around for months, literally, for a usable basement. Not only did the basement of The Lucky Cat serve our needs as a shooting location, but we had a delicious, healthy, and extremely convenient lunch at The Lucky Cat itself. They also let us use their bathroom so we didn’t have to use the diapers we had brought.
There’s so much more to tell like Sarah’s 103 degree fever the night before and she still helped in the morning, Mohammed calling Tim at 8:30am the morning of the shoot after a couple weeks of silence (Jeff was ready to play the Arab guy), and Tom’s surprise at how much even playing getting waterboarded sucked. Thanks again to all those involved.
