T-Shirt War : McDonald's Edition
05/25/10
Here’s our latest video, made for McDonald’s and Coke. It’s currently airing in movie theatres and on television, throughout the states. As with the last T-Shirt War video, it all started with a series of brainstorming sessions with Rhett & Link about what the video needed, and figuring out the gags. Once the basic designs were approved(I’ll post some of the "rejected" designs soon), I then went ahead and created the final versions you see in the video. Joe Penna came back again to photograph and edit it to perfection. And, like before, I also abused my face to create all of the sound effects. Enjoy!

"Very Tasteful
have a knack for writing songs about things that are happening at the very instant that they are writing the songs. It’s a sort of meta-commentary of one’s life, and it’s always told with the present participle. Their classics include I’m Typing LOL
and Caller ID
(aka, My Phone is Ringing). There is something philosophically valuable in these but I haven’t quite uncovered it yet: I think therefore I am? I sing about things that are happening now, but I film it and people watch it when these things are no longer happening even though I say they are, therefore I was? Hmmmm.
Oh, and they’re not a one-trick pony either. They’ve got cartoons
and sasquatch songs
, among many others
