Robo-Sexual

After a failed relationship, Skot decides to swear off woman all together. He works fiendishly in his basement on the prototype for a robotic sexual companion. He then takes his new date  out  on the town, and enters a couples dance contest.

This is the first video we ever shot, and  it was part of a musical we never completed. The best part of making this video, was making the robot suit. I went to home depot, and bought a trash can, and some metal tubes to make the bulk of it . The eyes are actually from a giant Mr. Potato head I had, and the rest of the costume was made out of duct tape, and broken computer parts. I'm pretty sure I stayed up till 7am making this in my basement.

 We filmed part of the video at Bubes Brewery (http://www.bubesbrewery.com/). They let us shoot there on a Monday when it was slow, and we had a bunch of our friends show up to be extras. It was really hard directing, and coordinating  a bunch of drunk people, but they did an awesome job. Our friend Ethan Tuthill played the robot, and had to be in the costume for 5 hrs or so. It was hard to see out of the eye holes of the costume, plus the lighting inside the bar was kinda dark, so there was a few times Ethan fell or stumbled into something.  When he got out of it, his eyes were blood shot and he was drenched in sweat.

 The other part of the video was shot at my apartment. We got our friend Wes Funk to fill in for Ethan, cuz after being in that suit for five hours he needed a break. We continued shooting till about 7am. I think I drank 3 energy drinks, and had very little sleep during the making of this, which might explain the insanity of this video.

Since the video, we've had robosexual apear at a few of our shows.

We hope to bring him back in another video, but it is hard to write songs about having sex with robots, although it is fun to do.

Sometimes Condoms Break

Skot has just received a call from a one night stand he had a few months ago. He is given some very important news, and the only way he can resolve this problem, is with a good old fashioned musical number.

This is part of a musical we wrote that was never completed. It was one of the first videos we ever made. The basic plot is about a guy who has a one night stand with this girl at a party. A few months go by and he finds out she is pregnant. They decide to have the child aborted, but can't afford to go to a ritzy, high priced clinic. They find a bargain back alley abortion clinic, but the doctors methods aren't exactly conventional. After the child is aborted, they throw him into a dumpster during a lightning storm. Lightning strikes the coat-hanger in his head, and brings him back to life. The child vows to find the people who aborted him, and seek revenge. (Kinda fucked up, don't you think?)

  

                                   

 Oh, and I forgot to mention.....it has a robot in it too!!!

We shot the video in Mount Joy Pennsylvania, up the street from my apartment. In the last scene of the video I was supposed to grab the actress's tit as the camera pulls out into the sky. We rented a camera crane to do this, but we had to do numerous takes in order to get a smooth motion of the camera. So I basically spent half an hour feeling up her boob. I have to say it was pretty fun. 

We only shot one other video for this musical (robo-sexual), but we might go back and film the entire thing one of these days when we have the time and money. Here is a pic of what the baby looks like.

I made it out of an old baby doll, a Halloween decoration, and some rubber latex. He works the same way as a ventriloquist dummy. Even if we never finish filming this musical, we would like to finish recording, and make the soundtrack available.
