Brown Paper Bag (New animated Testosteroso music video)

Brown Paper Bag (New animated Testosteroso music video)

We are almost done with our new upcoming full length. We will be posting updates on our facebook as soon as it becomes available (Click here for updates!!!). We've been working on it for the past year since the time we first released the "Spit-roast e.p.".

"Kick you in the Vagina" "Mail Order Bride" "TESTOSTEROSO Theme" and "Robo-Sexual" will appear on it, as well as some new songs. It will be on sale at http://www.testosteroso.com. One of the new tracks is called "Brown paper bag". It is also our new animated music video. It's kind of a country tune that confronts a very important, and difficult situation to overcome. What do you do when you bring home a really ugly girl/guy from a bar because you were too drunk to realize that they had the face of a farm animal. Well,Testosteroso has the solution.

A face only a mother could love. Or a desperate, horny, drunk dude.

 This video is done in toon boom studio, along with adobe after effects, and photoshop. We hope to have it ready by the end of the summer.  It's animation style is similar to  ren and stimpy, but obviously  not nearly as good. I'm still new to animating, so this is a great learning experience for me. The advancements in technology have made it so easy to make a cartoon, a child can do it.

Considering this is an animated video, I can put whoever the hell in it I want to. Unlike real actors, animated characters are reliable, and you can make them do whatever you want. I decided to put some of my friends in Brown paper bag as extras, also I really wanted to draw them anyway, so this was a good excuse. I've only created one other animated video with Toon Boom so far. It was a very short promo for our facebook.

 

It's not the most impressive animation, but It's a start. I did this to learn the basic functions of Toon Boom Studio. Brown paper bag is definitely going to be more advanced as far as animation goes, because I'm spending a lot more time on it.  For more updates on this video, please check our facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/testosteroso.

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.

Mail Order Bride

Skot is waiting for his new mail order bride to arrive, after receiving his first one dead in the box. There doesn't seem to be a problem with his new one, well... maybe one little problem.

This video was a little awkward to shoot. There's nothing like having to straddle your best friend while he is wearing a nightie.  When we wrote this video we didn't know if people would find it funny, or extremely uncomfortable.  The idea for the ending of the video came from an image I made in photo-shop.

CREEPY!!! Those are some ugly ass butt-babies! We decided it would be funnier to have the main character find out his mail order bride was a dude, but say "fuck it". It's like my father always said "If a chick has a dick, work around it."

The only problem we encountered when filming this video was an issue with the audio. Due to some technical difficulties with the boom mic, we were forced to re-dub all of the dialogue in the opening scene. For the most part you can't tell, but it does make the conversation between the two characters seem a bit robotic.  All in all I think the main lesson we learned from making this video,  is that people don't want to see two dudes pretend to dry hump.
