Updates!

Hello friends. It has been a very long time since we last spoke. Very long. LLOOOONNNGGG! I know, annoying, sorry.

Since our last chat, we have actually produced two videos. The Lights Of Louisville music video for The Muckrakers you read about on our last chat; and a promotional video for the American Heart Association's Heart Walk in Louisville. These are linked at the bottom.

Also on our plate: A short, humorous and ironic skit about a poor [unlucky, not unpaid/unemployed] man having a series of bad things happen to him at local places; an extreme sport video, about a sport you would not associate with extreme; a documentary/ mockumentary about avid film fanatics; and last but most definitively not the lowest/ smallest/ cheapest (I don't want to say least because I'm weird like that) a collaboration with local filmmakers. (Pending agreement.)

The final announcement: Our Lights Of Louisville music video will be aired locally on KET (hence the logo at the top) starting the 2nd of April, a Thursday. Here is the link for Louisville Life Program 319, which is where you will be able to view the video, amongst other programming information, as well as additional air dates:

Here are the videos mentioned at the beginning:

Lights of Louisville Day Shoot

Friends, Country Bumpkins, Roamin' Romans- Lend me your eyes (since you're reading this, though if we had a podcast blog I'd need to borrow your ears). On Sunday we were able to accomplish the day shot locations, mostly in the Highlands area. Some places of interest we filmed (I'm going by memory- no offense intended if I forgot your location!): Clifton's Pizza Co. (who gave us a delicious pizza, gratis- thanks!), The Riverbats Stadium, Lynn's Paradise Café, Vogue Theater (and Clodhoppers, the clothing store that now occupies the building), Highland Coffee Shop, Ear X-Tacy, Why Louisville (who provided us with some warddrobe, for keeps, gratis- thanks!), Comedy Caravan (where our very own Red es Rojo did a mock stand-up set), the thing off River Road that is just the front of a two story brick building (not sure the name of this location), amongst some others. The weather was nice (a little cold, but manageable, sunny all day). If you've been keeping up with the blog posts, you'll be expecting that Angie Fenton is our talent. It ended up not working out for her to be in the video, so we have a new actress (courtesy of Angie) named Frankie Spagnolo, fresh from the West Coast! Frankie did great and was a lot of fun to work with, and I'm sure you'll enjoy her part in the video. The night time shoot is coming up in a few weeks, early December. More information soon!

Filming Soon!

Hello friends. Jason again (though you could probably figure out by the nature of this posting!) This will be short and sweet, like a donut hole. Though those (donut or doughnut, choose your preference) aren't short so much as round, and they're not necessarily sweet. You could probably get one that is not glazed and dip it in cheese sauce, or chili, or sour cream, or maybe even buttermilk ranch dressing! I've never tried any of these dippings with a doughnut hole, but let me know what you think if you do!

We will be filming part of our Muckrakers "Lights of Louisville" muvid on Sunday, the 23rd. We are hoping to incorporate some local landmarks, being that the song is about Louisville. If you happen to see us honk and wave (with your entire hand please, not the one finger salute!). Though the horn won't be heard in the video, as the audio will be the song.

More information soon, after the filming!

Muckrakers Muvid

Greetings citizens! Jason here. For our muvid you've heard me mention a few times- we've decided on a few dates in November to film, and as for the main character: we recently met with "The Buzz" Angie Fenton, the Features journalist from the Courier-Journal. She has agreed to be the star of our muvid for The Muckrakers, "Lights of Louisville" and is reportedly "excited" about doing it! This will be our second endeavor for the local band (and nice guys to boot). If you weren't aware, we also did a muvid for them for "Kerouac", with some of our sock puppets from Unraveled. Oh yeah, if you're confused with my word "muvid", it's my fusion of "music" and "video" (yes, a pretty simple concept). I'm hoping it'll catch on. I've heard William Shakespeare is the one that came up with a number of words we use in English, so maybe I'll be the next to pen new words? Another one I came up with- "nebling" (plural: neblings). A nebling is your nephew or niece, and it's gender neutral so you can say, "I have 5 neblings" and if someone needs more details, "That would be 3 nephews and 2 nieces." The word is a fusion of the neh sound from "nephew" and the "bling" that hangs around my neck. Err, rather the bling sound in "sibling". I decided to come up with a term upon having multiple neblings and disliking saying, "my nieces and nephews" a lot.

In other PFCF news: there's a new episode of the Two Matts & A Beaver Show! It is the 6th episode, titled Return of the Jedi. No wait, that's something different that is the 6th episode. Just in time for the current political showdown(s) going on all over the US of A, it is actually titled "A Bucket Full of Politics". They discuss the need for to vote in this coming 2008 Presidential election. Matt B. discusses Mickey Mouse as his candidate of choice, while Buzzy announces his candidacy. Also the two Matts share audio clips from some of their recent adventures inspired by the film "The Bucket List", including skiing in the Alps and skydiving. AND! they have recently submitted the show to iTunes, and hopefully the show will be available there in the near future.

Heart Walk Video

Greetings fans. Jason here again. We were recently tapped to produce a video for the American Heart Association's fundraising walk. Myself, Brooks, Steven and James attended and had two units (Brooks and Steven; James and m'self) recording group shots, interviews, etc. It was probably a 3 hour tour, but the boat wasn't lost amongst the waves onto a "deserted island" (that has it's own group of indigenous people!). We probabably walked about 3 miles, from Waterfront Park, over the 2nd St Bridge into southern Indiana, and then a retreat back to start. James and I stayed in Indiana for a bit to score an interview with a Hoosier and to chat with some friends on the north side of the Ohio River, and by the time we'd returned almost all of the participants had vacated. I think throughout the entire venture we did 8 or 9 interviews, asking them why they support the walk, how long they've been involved with the walk, and (if they were one) the survivors we asked how long they'd been a survivor. The survivors were people that had bypass surgery, or some other heart fixing therapy done (I can't recall anything other than bypass surgery right now!). More info about this video once it is finished...

Up Date Thyme!

Greetings fans, family and friends. Jason here, at the helm of the blog for the first time. "Be Gentle." Sorry if this looks strange or unorganized.

Since our last update we've had a few things going on. The 48 hour film contest was in July for Louisville (our lovely city we call "home"). I was the "star" if you will as Kevin Browning. The film specifics: Genre- Tragedy; Character- Kevin/ Kristen Browning, a runner (though not necessarily athletic type of running, i.e.: a gopher at a company, etc., though to my knowledge everyone used the character as a literal runner); Prop- a wrench; dialogue- "But what about global warming?" (yes, really!). We originally pulled "Film de Femme", but that requires a female lead and we didn't at the time have any females interested in being a lead. So our 2nd draw was tragedy. Friday night was similar to our experience last year when we produced Unraveled- lots of ideas, then shortened to a few ideas, then a decision was made as to which concept to go with. "Gravity" is about a man (Kevin Browning) that has a bunch of bad stuff happen all in a short time, and he reminisces about the good and the bad, deciding which has more weight for him.

You can view the film through our site here:

And if you'd like to leave us a comment, the film is available on YouTube here:

Also, today there was a new 2 Matts & A Beaver episode added, a rendition of Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First?" featuring Matt B. and Buzzy.

Stay tuned for more information regarding future projects. We might have a few big projects coming up, so those will be announced as the information becomes available to us. Cheers!
