Below is video we shot for the WingBowl. I'm very proud of everything except the opening title scene. I had a much better one, but it's didnt render properly. At 4am I decided to scrap it and just go basic on the intro title. So that I could announce the video on the air this morning. It'll haunt me forever I'm sure.
Enjoy the rest though!

This is the greatest piece of videography known to man! McCarthy should be nominated for an Academy Award, and then, after winning it, he should leave his wife and kids for some hot actress.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. Do they show these videos at the WingBowl or did you just do this as a side project?
ReplyDeleteThis was just something that needed to be made. I had some wonderful help in making it a reality.
ReplyDeleteBurgess Meredith would be impressed with this touching homage. The world would be a better place if we all could just embrace: "Eat it like you mean it."
ReplyDeleteI've heard that said in movies plenty of times....just not G-Rated ones...
ReplyDeletedid I mention this is the greatest short film ever made?
ReplyDeletethat's awesome. WingKing's "pizza crunches" are Oscar-worthy!
ReplyDeleteoops i meant WingKong
ReplyDeletedamn stubb y fingrs
Good Job!
ReplyDeleteI watched this while eating my lunch in my cubicle. I'm not sure what happened, but I looked down and my lunch was gone. I think I subconsciously ate faster, and didn't taste a thing. It's nice to get lost in a film.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That was awesome! Keep up the good work! I am going to have to watch that at least 10 more times because it is so cool. Nice!
ReplyDeleteKat,
ReplyDeleteYou should see the outtakes. WingKong got pretty salty that we made him do so many situps.
Philly Guy,
Thanks for coming out to the Museum! I should have a prize for you.
gnightgirl,
Dont eat at your desk!!!
:)
Hall,
Thanks! I was hoping to make it down into Gator coutry for Pretzels but it didnt work out. Hope to meet you at the table sometime this summer!
Oh my god, this is great! I, too, finished my lunch while watching the video.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly inspired. Excellent job.
Cool stuff! You know, parts of it looked familiar somehow... Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna be passing this around the office...
Yup, I just watched it for the eleventh time and it is still the best!
ReplyDeleteThe best shot is you taking the pan out of the oven. Very creative camera angle.
ReplyDeleteaunt bubba needs a blog- get it going already. however, it needs to be titled blog name, "Bubba".
ReplyDeleteSuch fun! Totally enjoyed this. Am so bummed I missed the radio show this morning! What did you announce?
ReplyDeleteEating wings

Hey Steak--
If you're in New York City again any time soon, give a holler! Me and MsAPhillips would love to meet you!
Best,
Steve
"You gotta eat lightning and crap thunder!"...Best line ever.
ReplyDeleteAwesome video and nice technique on those wings. I'll be studying that part when I defend my Harrisburg title this summer. And loved that you guys went to Pat's (not Geno's). That's the true mark of a champion eater.
That must have been so much fun to make...
ReplyDeletebubba - i posted the link to the utube page
ReplyDeleteAC - Thats my favorite scene too. I got in trouble for not cleaning the oven window first though
wendy - the big announcement was just this 'Training Video' I want good exposure so that they give me Wingettes with big Cans.
steve - I'm predicting 2 or 3 contests in NYC in 07 and I'll give you plenty of notice!
Chris - it was an absolute blast. I wish I could show ALL of the footage, we did 6-10 takes of each scene and 'Mickey' adlibbed every time, there are so many funny things that got edited!
I must say good job with the video. I stumbled upon that today at work (yes, calling myself out here) and had a good laugh. I mean, shit, eating a pie while doing push-ups?! CLASSIC! Good luck in Wing Bowl, you and Kong. Glad to see you guys are having fun with it all. Plus, I'm sure you will NEVER forget the experience.
ReplyDeleteYAR!
ReplyDeleteGET SOME!
Thanks!
