Sweaty Robot

Thanks to Ally and Lisa for the booze.

See if you can come up with the story that goes along with this picture. I doubt it’s as funny as the real one…

LA was fun. That’s Stacy and Mike in that picture. Hi Stacy and Mike.

Join the Sweaty Robot gang in their first ever video cast. The guys tackle tough topics like action figures and movie trailers. Matt Sanchez acts really creepy. Eric over talks everyone else. Juan talks with a fake radio voice. Nick just looks plain stupid. If you ever wondered what the SR gang looks like when they podcast here you go. Now quit Myspace stalking me (sike, don’t).

Check out our latest short. Leave some love/hate in the comments.

Here’s the back story on The Fix-Up. The original script by Tim was really long in comparison to the final movie; Like 12 pages or something crazy. He knew it was to be cut up, flipped, reversed, and pooped on. Eric did a pass on it, then Juan and Nick did another pass. By now it was about 4 and half pages long. Chris Perotti arranged for us to shoot at Meritage Restaurant near 20th and Lombard. Great food there, by the way.

Ben got the equipment there with the van. We shot in from 9am to 3pm in Meritage. We shot again on Sunday night for a couple hours outside of SR Headquarters (our apartment). A couple days of editing and here’s a movie.

Fast facts:

Matt hadn’t even read the script when we shot. How did he make the movie look right? We have no idea.

Restaurant Extras: You can spot Juan’s girlfriend as the girl talking with Chuck in the background of a shot. The other extra is Maggie…she made a lot of headway in her book.

Bar Extras: Chris P. and his lady friend Erin are hanging out at the bar along with Anthony the Sound dude.

End scene: Much of this ended up being improvised.

As we transition to this new version of the website, there may be some hiccups. You’re just going to have to deal with that, aren’t you? What do you think of the new layout?

You ever meet those kids that lie about everything? Well then, meet Rick. Sure this may not be the greatest of shorts, but we can’t win them all…especially when drinking.

This is the only way I can get off on IM. Sad but true.

Eric: okay, you pretend to be a congressional page, and i’ll pretend to be mark foley
Eric: no wait, I’LL pretend to be the page, YOU be mark foley
Eric: wait, I’ll pretend to be Mark Foley’s penis, you pretend to be a lawsuit.

We missed this weeks podcast because we have something very special up our sleeves. It’s coming next week. For now we have a new short movie, “Liar Kid” on its way, and we’re shooting a short this weekend as well.

You’re about to see a step up in production value as we’ve invested in a sweet doohickey (or Jimmer Jammer as Manchez might say) that makes stuff look really cool. You’ll see soon enough.

Until you hear from us next, sweet little kisses, butterfly wishes, and candy cane dreams. And you mother’s tit in my mouth.

Eric
