So...back when I did these shoots, at the end of a shoot day I would throw together a "highlight reel" of sorts, just for my own enjoyment, before I got down to the work of editing the scenes. I've decided to release these highlight reels for a couple of shoots where the rest of the footage is now lost. I've uploaded them and they are awaiting approval. In the meantime I'm offering a sale where all bundles are just $5, now through June 1 or whenever the highlight reels are approved (whichever is later).
I've attached some pics from the bundles, and the new highlight reels as a teaser.
And here are the highlight reels, offered as pay-what-you-will (so, technically you could buy other stuff and get these for a penny).
Hsw Volume 3 Highlights "Originally created for the producer's enjoyment, now offered for yours."
These highlight reels were originally thrown together very quickly at the end of a shoot day for the producer's enjoyment.
This contains highlights from three "scenes" we shot that day:
"Scene 1" Christmas Promo--We were originally planning to put together a TV ad to air on actual TV that holiday season. It never came to full fruition, but each shoot featured a segment with the girls getting gunged in holiday finery. This has "Alice" in a white dress, taking two chocolate pies (one to the butt, the other to the face), and a massive green sliming that splatters everywhere.
"Scene 2" Alice is Wonder-flann'd--our "Alice In Wonderland" parody, released to coincide with the Tim Burton-directed movie. Possibly the most technically (over) ambitious thing we ever shot. Lovely blue Alice dress, pies, water, sitting in pies (including a "giant pie") and "anachronistic" green slime (I don't think she ever pronounced that word correctly).
"Scene 3" the first sliming from the last scene where she needs to be at the awards show in an hour in her "rented dress", but unfortunately she still has one more scene with us.
Unfortunately this is all the footage from this shoot we can recover at the moment. Someone out there may have more complete versions of these scenes, if so please PM me.
Hsw Volume 4 Highlights "Originally created for the producer's enjoyment, now offered for yours."
These highlight reels were originally thrown together very quickly at the end of a shoot day for the producer's enjoyment.
"Aeris" was a sweet innocent church girl when she came to do this shoot, too young to remember Cher's "Believe."
We shot three scenes and a bit of the intended "Christmas Promo", this is all the footage known to survive:
For the Christmas Promo, Aeris gets green slimed in a red dress.
In scene 1 Aeris wears a denim skirt and magenta top with weird chain thingys on the shoulders. She's auditioning for "American Pie Model", she expects to sing, but instead gets clobbered with a pie and two slimings (the second of which you can see go down her boobs, and I can vouch she was scooping out of her underwear afterward (out of the shot, unfortunately)). This is what is included in the surviving footage, originally there were multiple pies and at least one watering, which you can see some aftermath of, but are sadly lost, at least for the moment.
Scene two is the final sliming from "Autotune the Pies..."another technically (over) ambitious idea, especially after I saw the pricetag on Autotune. This is how I learned that Aeris had no memory of hearing Cher's "Believe", having been only 5 that summer it was all over the radio! Black top, white skirt
Scene three I've taken Aeris out for a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant. I ordered, in Italian (in the script, anyway), the waiter to dump spaghetti (with sauce) and baked beans on her, smash pies on her face, back, and boobs, then she says the magic words to finish off with a nice green slime dessert. That white dress was ruined beyond any hope of salvage!
I think only scene one from this shoot was ever released. If anyone bought it back in the day and still has it, PM me.
