The creation of TUMOR BABY

Jun 25, 2011 by Kevin Cease

 

tumor baby orthographic view animation

Also known as Todd, this little guy is one who just want’s to get close to you. He spends most his time watching the news, and when he’s not, he likes to get down and dance!

This is a character for my ANM 202 class, but I have some bigger plans for him in the future. While I wrote out a HILARIOUS and BRILLIANT storyboard, it seems there weren’t enough key poses in the storyline for the class. So I had to change it to a simple dance segment. That should satisfy the teacher…I think. I hope, because I am on double time this semester and I am totally slammed with homework. I’d really like to work on this drawing more, but I didn’t have much time and it’s already due, and I have another class worth of work to get done. I hope I am able to model this guy to my standards, but I am not sure how much we will and can learn in 7 weeks. At leas, I will have him available for more projects later and I can continue to improve him when needed. Hope you like him!

Kevin Nealon: Subliminal Man

Feb 7, 2011 by Kevin Cease

I was given some rough footage of Kevin Nealon in an interview with Louie Anderson and put some clips together for Stand-up Boot Camp. I put together a quick animated opening, added a few filters to the blown out footage, and started to create a series of videos for our video presence, but unfortunately things came to a hault before we could move on to interviewing more comics. I really had my handful anyways with work, so it wasn’t something we could really get to anyways.

Cheating

Jan 29, 2011 by Kevin Cease

Here’s one I have mixed feelings about. We shot this pretty much on the fly. I remember arguing on the set about how we needed a plan and an idea before we rolled tape, because we didn’t have one. CariDee didn’t know her lines, because there were none. I was expected to just “start shooting” and “everything will just happen” and I don’t know how to respond to that because nobody new what to say or do. So after hours of deliberating with everyone and my girlfriend leaving out of boredom, we all split up and I got a pack of smokes with CariDee and had a beer with her. I started relaxing because I didn’t have to care about the sketch at the moment and I could just hang with a cool chick like CariDee English. A sketch finally started developing once we got back together. Ideas started forming now that the sun was down and I started feeling better and having fun again because hey, you can’t shoot without knowing what your shooting. We bullied our way through our ideas and ended up leaving late in the night feeling drained like usual.

The green screen shoot was terrible. I was told we would have a pro lighting technician, and I was lied to I guess. Lighting really sucked so I lost all chance of having a decent production right there. This is when I started realizing that I wasn’t able to really make the videos I wanted to make. I was making videos that not only had no budget, but the plots were constantly decided on set during the shoots and planning was pretty much not allowed. Actors didn’t know what to do, and I was no longer a director and allowed to give any real direction. All the energy started leaving.

In the end, Tony Moser was hysterical, and so was Kyle. Many retakes needed to be done due to laughing. And I am extremely proud of my money chest idea I came up with while in a local prop mans garage. I was going through his weird latex creature filled room, and saw the chest. I think he had it rigged so a knife would come out of it, and it was used in a movie where a man was ripping open his chest and the blade would come popping out. I saw it and connected it with the ending for the Cheating sketch and Kyle ad-libbed it beautifully.

If my work shooting videos were a ride, it was splash mountain: all pleasant and creative before taking a big wet slam into a large body of water, and this video was made right at the point when you are exiting the tunnel and you can’t see the drop below, but you know it’s there and it’s going to be an intense fall, and even though you knew you were gonna get wet, your still kinda pissed about it.

Presenting: THE video.

Jan 12, 2011 by Kevin Cease

Let me tell you about THE VIDEO.

This is the video I put together for Stand-up Boot Camp. It was done about a year ago (01/01/2010) and was taken from over 120 hours of footage from 3 cameras over a 5 day period. This project took a little while, mainly because I was required to make it before I had a professional studio (AKA big ass computer set up.) The strain of massive hard drive storage and processing power required me to spend more than $5,000 in production equipment, just so I would be able to produce this first step with Stand-up Boot Camp: this now semi-famous video. By the way, I didn’t have $5,000, so I put it all on credit cards. I’m still dealing with them.

This project received rave reviews before many comics (mostly not involved) deemed it controversial (to put it lightly.) The messages in the video were argued by many comics (and many online angry nobodies) over many websites and within the stand-up comedy industry.

I was the creator, but there was no way any of us could have expected the mixed reactions. This is mainly because we all understood the messages in the video, and others did not, since they weren’t able to see the talks before and after the tiny clips that were chosen for the video. The interpretations were not foreseen since I didn’t realize they could be interpreted the way they were in many cases during its inception. This became a big learning curve for me, and it helped me become very careful, aware, and concerned when it comes to public opinion, branding, and advertising.

In any case, I am a producer, and I do not feel my opinion about anything other than the creation of my work for the client matters unless asked to do otherwise. That does not mean I do not have anything to say about the actual events, but I can say they were a blast and I did all I could to make it work the way it was supposed to.

I remember working a few 17 hour days at the event these clips were taken from, and one night I had zero sleep. Combine that with a 5 day, 3 camera live shoot with live cuts… well let’s just say it was hard and draining and fun all at the same time.

As far as the video goes, it was a lot lot lot of work. Other than the production equipment I had to step up to, I even had to get a new monitor because the one I was using was straining my eyes to the point of permanent damage, and I didn’t realize it. I was having ocular migraines to the point of almost vomiting and locking myself in a dark room on drugs for whole days without knowing what the cause was. I now wear glasses and the migraines stopped. I mostly think it was caused due to the amount of editing work I have done overall with them and my brother, and using a high end monitor specialized for gaming, not color and video reproduction.

I digress. After technical problems and complete financial drain, I did manage to bang this video out and create what my goal was: to show the emotional reality the events create using the footage, create a consistently interesting video, create a message that even non comics could relate to, portray the speakers in the most honest way possible out of complete respect for these amazing people, and create a visually appealing video. This was my job as a director, editor, and producer. I feel I did my job well and so did my clients, so all I can say is I am proud of what I was able to accomplish for the most part.

Celebrity interviews: Jonathan Lipnicki

May 3, 2009 by Kevin Cease

Kyles rockin idea for a celebrity recurring interview sketch started and ended with this one interviewing Jonathan Lipnicki. Many people think we were just crazy and Jonathan wasn’t in on the bit, which is pretty ignorant if you ask me. Or maybe I should just be proud we were able to convince otherwise?

Where are my trousers? Widescreen version

Feb 9, 2009 by Kevin Cease



This sketch was written by Bob and punched up by Kyle, and directed by me. We took a 2 hour drive to Apple Valley to shoot, and had a final video to submit to an online contest within the same day and only 1 minute till the competition closed. We were not accepted in the competition, for political reasons. FUCK YOU YOUTUBE!
