Behind The Scenes Of The Intro Video

,

Today, we thought it would be fun to share some of the behind the scenes action of the New Day HQ video. We also have some fun out takes from the shoot, and a little about how we pulled this off.

First and foremost we would like to thank Orpheus for helping us with the task of actually bringing back our hero’s. We also had to bring back to life their agents, who by the way had no idea about the cost of things today. So it cost us around 1 dollar to get them to work. Shhhhhhh! It will be our little secret. And of course we should also mention the make up artists who worked around the clock to put skin back on people and well. It got kinda graphic, so lets just say, the shoot didnt last all that long.

Sorry, kinda graphic.

The biggest challenge was explaining the internet to folks. And the iphone? Forgetabout it. That alone kept Gar Wood going so long he litterelly fell apart while we were shooting. No really, his nose fell off. Dont ask how the girls pasted it back on. They are an amazing team, having been Micheal Jacksons team as well. Anyway, here are some fun out takes.

    This is fantastic. I was having withdrawal. Woodyboater is addictive. Now I can enjoy my coffee again.

    I will never understand the level of technology you are using to do all this, but it is better than the “nothing found” story you put up early this morning. I thought it had something to do with a barn find.

      It’s actually very sad that such amazing technology is being used in this dumb way. It was probably created to “Change the world” Then again, oh forget it. UGH

    The imagination & production wizardry in this film is very cool. At the same time. the talking pictures are a bit unsettling & the “speaking from beyond the grave angle” does kinda border on creepy..

    Hey Matt, Hello from Northern Minnesota. Here is this mornings photo looking out at the lake with snow in the air – – you can see the lake right? It’s right there behind the pine trees. With your editing skills, could you melt all the snow and ice, turn the grass green and the lake blue, and let me go boating?

    Yes, not lost, just me being a little over whelmed with settings. Should be fixed, but in some cases may make the image smaller in older stories

      Someone needs to help Art! We will make the box frame darker. We can call it Art’s Comment Frame? Also Art look down ..on the screen not your tally… anyway look down you will see CHOOSE FILE. Or just drag it into the red bar, and then hit POST COMMENT

          BTW on the subject of phones, on my Samsung android phone, the font is great until I get to the comment section and the font size REDUCES a lot and I have to expand …… sort of a PIA.

    One reason why stuff is designed the way it is, The comment type is this size on a laptop for the phone it needs to work, Check WB on your phone and it will look very well. Also if we darken the frame on this box, it would effect other stuff. Like I said we had to design the site in three different ways.

    If you want to see how this works with out going on your phone, grab the lower right coner of your browser windo and compress it, you will see the entire site change. Its actually cool.

    As far as the I-Phone goes I heard it said once:

    “Can you imagine trying to explain to someone from the ’50’s that you have a device in your pocket that contains all the knowledge and information known to man kind and yet all we do with it is PISS OFF our friends.”

    I envisioned Chris Smith’s voice more along the lines of a William Brimley character, may he rest in peace. And by the way, if we post a scantily clad lady, please don’t make her talk.

    Huge congrats, Matt, Bill and the crew. Looks and works great.

    You do know, however, that Ernest Hemingway was a great American novelist, right?
