It was just 339 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 6: it was a fun time. We were blessed to be 340 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 6: able to do that during the COVID times. 341 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: Well, only somebody who's done this and dealt with Miserable 342 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: Edits realized how complex what you all pulled off. I mean, 343 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: you're blending Kevin in with these classic movie moments, but 344 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: the shadows, the lighting, there's so much that is so 345 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: perf on these shorts, and it really is what makes 346 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: them work. It doesn't look like he's standing in front 347 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: of a green screen. He looks like he's really interacting 348 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: with all those characters. 349 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 5: That was all Dan with the lighting. 350 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 7: Well yeah, but then John John learns all the VFX. 351 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 7: Like I don't think anyone knew really how to do 352 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 7: it until John spent so much time on YouTube learning 353 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 7: how to like how to do all the green screening everything, 354 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 7: you know. I think one of the hardest ones that 355 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 7: we had to do was the Star is Born, where. 356 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 5: Kevin goes up with the boom mic and he sings. 357 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 7: On stage like Bradley Cooper because there's a lot of 358 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 7: interacting with Bradley Cooper's character. And like you said, like 359 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 7: the lighting and the shadows that one John got sick 360 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 7: trying to that one. 361 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 6: I think was like, you're lighting for the characters, but 362 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 6: you're also lighting for the green screen to make sure 363 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 6: that you can eliminate that in the actual product. 364 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 3: No, it was brilliant. 365 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean it was really I'm thinking of the Roy 366 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: Scheider thing from Jaws where he leans into Kevin and 367 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: the shadow moves over Kevin. It's brilliant. I mean that 368 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: those little details. Professionals get that stuff. But I saw 369 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: it thought my gosh, this need to take like a day. 370 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 5: I think we did that with a ball. It's a ball. 371 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, we just Oh how funny. Okay. 372 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: I was watching a documentary about mel Brooks the other night. 373 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: It made me think of those shorts and what you 374 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: guys are doing now with solo Meal. Mel Brooks said, 375 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: comedy is the opposite of death. Why is comedy needed today, guys, 376 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: and what is its function particularly in a fractured society. 377 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 4: I would say it's the universal language, right, Laughter is 378 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 4: the universal language, and I think I think we need 379 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 4: it now more than ever. And you know, we came 380 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 4: out of a background where we did a lot of 381 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 4: documentaries and on a lot of very tough subjects, and 382 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 4: at some point you need a break from real life. 383 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 5: We needed just to laugh. 384 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 4: We needed that levity and so we found it with 385 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 4: Kevin and with our brothers and making these films, and 386 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 4: it was very. 387 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 5: It gave us a lot of hope. I don't know, 388 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 5: it's very helpful, it's very therapeutic. 389 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 6: I was just going to say it's very therapeutic, like 390 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 6: laughter truly is is the best form of medicine. I mean, 391 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 6: to be able to laugh with someone together, you share 392 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 6: in something that you know, it's a common ground to 393 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 6: enjoy something together, and there's a bond created, you know, 394 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 6: whether you realize it or not. 395 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 396 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: Well, I always say if you can get people laughing, 397 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: they're sharing a commonality and its short circuits your brain. 398 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean you move into a different part of your person, 399 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, you move into your heart when you're laughing. 400 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: And to get a group of people to do that, 401 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: I think is just this side of a miracle. 402 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: Now. 403 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: I know you all come from a family of ten kids, 404 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: eight brothers who grew up basically surfing and filming in 405 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: Rhode Island.
