What a Long Strange Trip it's Been

Huh. I never would have guessed. Good work indeed, NJ! For those interested, here's a link to what Aussie mentioned: . I also enjoyed the line "Go suck a moon deer egg." I've been smiling for the last five minutes :)
Man, I begged NJ to finish that one. He did 100% of the graphics and animation. The "Suck a moon deer egg" is mine though. I wrote the script. ;)
 
My, but we have had ourselves a time, haven't we?
Indeed my friend. Not to mention the time we "Wasted on the Way"!
That whole argument was over a single shot.
That's right. I forgot that. You called, whatever number ball it was- side pocket. You slammed the cue ball into an entirely different numbered ball, which zig zagged it's way across the table, eventually hitting the ball you had called and knocking it in. Trouble was, it went into the corner pocket not the side. When that Samoan pointed out that you had called side pocket, you told him it did go into the side pocket since that corner pocket was on the left side of the table... That's when all hell broke loose! :eek:
Actually, if memory serves, we met in 1998. The Internet was up and running by then. I distinctly remember exchanging emails.
You're right again. My niece has been here since '98. I was on my way to the US Embassy in Suva that day to get her paperwork.
There were a few trailers floating around at one time from the dozen or so films we made, but they were never available for download as they were all produced strictly for DVD.
I pulled all the trailers I had posted when we shut down the website, but I still have all the masters. Including a few versions of our videos that were never released.

Aussie is a funny guy and a talented writer. Too bad you didn't get to see the other clip where one of the little green men refers to a toilet as a "Fart Master 200"!

I kind of regret not finishing that one too.

From the short video clip that is still on Youtube, I'm trying to think how a toilet reference would have worked its way into the plot...No doubt it fits in with the overall hilarious writing.

You see, the Martian's were but 2 feet tall and needed some type of conveyance suited to their size. They first considered an old lawn mower they found, but there was no place to sit. Then, they went into a house located on the property they had crashed on. That's when one of the Martians saw the toilet and made the comment. Then, remembering the lawn mower, one turned to the other and said, "I've got an idea." Next scene was the 2 Martians driving down the road in a toilet on wheels. A ridiculous amount of computer graphics to pull that one off!
 
I can't disagree, that would have been a ton of computer graphics. But I appreciate you fleshing out the story some more. My mind's eye is having fun envisioning how this all would have looked.
 
For instance, that short clip you posted. It represents about 2 months work! Just syncing the voices took a couple days.

You have a great deal more patience than I do. The quality is certainly there, but I can't imagine how frustrating it must feel after a day's work and you only have a few words of the dialogue synced.

Crosby, Sills and Nash said it quite well and I wouldn't trade a minute of it. That was the best part.
That's when all hell broke loose! :eek:
Holy crap I thought I was a goner that day. Thank goodness for wacky Americans! :D

Is that the vids with my label on them?

That was a funny bit. I might have a still lying around. I'll look for it. If you remember, the premise of the story was, the Martians had found an old comic book on our moon about a super hero called Sita Star, supposedly left by American astronauts. That particular issue involved Sita Star's mission to destroy the red planet. Well the Martians thought it was a news report and headed to earth in order to find Sita Star and stop her from destroying their planet.
 
You have a great deal more patience than I do.
Patience I've got, but after my health issues, it was stamina I lacked. Amazing how tiring close computer work is.
Is that the vids with my label on them?
Yeah, the one with the cameraman in silhouette.

That part was going to be told in a flash-back scene, but I never got a chance to rough it in.

Found it!

LA and San Francisco are not my idea of California... Now if you were to spend some time in Tahoe, Mammoth, Redding, Trinity Alps, Eureaka...(not even Yosemite, Redwoods, Sequoia, Mohave, Lassen National Parks) and still didn't like California...I'd be surprised.
