This microfilm was actually an idea from way back--you know, when SoaP was about to come out, and this parody would have been timely--but we just never found the proper time for it. Really we never had time to film it, instead we just stayed up all night one evening--not kidding, till about 7 am--in my barn/studio. Just Matt, Jeff and I running everything. Who needs a crew!? To be honest, we were so tired I'm amazed this came out so good. Jeff was sleepy enough to drop my camera and my 300 watt light bulb. But I don't really need that bulb anyway. It's only like 10 bucks to replace and impossible to find. No problem. Curse you, Jeff!!!

Anyway, I also just updated the film. The flash encoder we have always really darkens the video, so if you saw it on monday or tuesday and had trouble making out the details, watch it again, it's brighter now.

PS. Carmel Shmarmel and Chocolate Bocolate is a joke on Matt Thogerson who tried to order a drink called an Almond Rocha Mocha at a Starbucks in Victoria--this drink apparently does exist at another coffee chain he frequents--which of course they did not have. We all bothered him about this nonexistant coffee with a ridiculous name and our dear friend Krista made up some drinks that he should try ordering next time: Caramel Sharmel and Chocolate Bocolate. And though it is never mentioned, Matt's character Trent is, of course, drinking an Almond Rocha Mocha.
