New Hodgegoulashi videos

all over your face

Who likes to forget about the party?

Oh my shit!

what a massively huge amount of time has passed since my last update! 

goals. am i right?

anywhooooooooooooooo

whats been going on. 

well first, heres a video i shot and edited with writing by travis marsala.

 

it won money!!

second, i shot another thing for an improv training centers youtube page.

no link on that yet. 

third, theres a few drunk octopus episodes i never posted! im the best!

listen to them both right this moment.

simultaneously. 

fourth, i was on a podcast! thats not mine! 

im making serious moves.

this is the end...

so james and i were going over some scripts last night and in the midst of re-reading old shit (which by the way if you write stuff, go back and read things you wrote when you started. look at what you thought was good) and that act destroyed our productivity. 

so, as we will, we started watching old things weve made.

all the usual videos but we also came across our black party videos. 

the black party was an event where all the attendees had to create some kind of video to show the rest of the attendees. it could be about anything and its an amazing idea.

shout out to tim westhoff. 

the video i made was kind of the tv-show-turned-movie version of these vine videos i was making at the time.

which can be seen here

there are a few more but this is the basic principle. 

this is a lot of set up for a thing that doesnt matter.

jim really likes this so i put it on my youtube channel. 

enjoy?

Where You Headed

so i was approached to shoot a video. after some back and forth emails with the producer, i assumed we were shooting at understood time and location.


these are the emails from Thursday to saturday.

Her:

Hi. We are filming a parody. You came highly recommended by a fellow producer. This might be last minute but we are filming on Saturday at a basketball game and Wednesday for the head interviews. If you are free and interested, please let me know. The script is attached. Thanks. 

Me:

Hello! Depending on the times for Saturday I could probably make it but Wednesday I work all day. 

Her:

It's Saturday at 2. Do you have your own equipment?

Me:

Where is the location located? Yes I do. I shoot stuff on dslrs. Canon 7d specifically. 

Her:

Hi. The address is below. So, you have a Canon 7D and lights?

Me:

I do. 

What kind of crew is involved?

Her:

We are trying to get crew together. You might have to fly solo for Saturday's basketball game. 

Me:

Is there a specific episode you're trying to parody directly? Or is this more general. Is there a link you can send so I know how to shoot it? How's the stands extras stuff. 

Her:

(No response)

Me:

I'm here in the parking lot. Just let me know when you get here.

Her:

I'm sorry I think we had a miscommunication. Today was going to be the basketball game but we are no longer going to be shooting it switch was in the suburbs.



so yeah. she's a super pro. 


luckily it was very close to a friend I've made videos with before and he wasn't to busy. 

day saved!


so i wrote this stream of absurdity short that i kinda never expected to actually make but liked anyways a few years ago. we couldn't think of anything better that would be as easy.


so enjoy?
