Post Production

Well, it's been a loooooooooooooong time since I took to the blogosphere to tell you about "Get A Clue", a new comedy web series.  And I apologize for that.  It turns out that executive producing a web series leaves you little to no time to blog about executive producing a web series.  Who knew?

Anyway, we shot the first 10 episodes of "Get A Clue".  In 6 days.  In Pasadena, CA.  Primarily in my childhood home.  We faced many, many hurdles & adventures:

1. Animals, animals, animals.  The first 10 episodes of "Get A Clue" included (and I'm not exagerrating) 1 dog, 2 rabbits, 3 goldfish, & 2 lobsters.  Our mindset while writing honestly must have been: 'If one animal is funny, then 8 animals will be like a comedy explosion!'  I have since learned my lesson.  That being said, the first 10 episodes are indeed a comedy explosion.

2. Pasadena is friggin hot during the summertime.  I mean, seriously very very very hot.  When we were scouting locations we decided to make an upstairs storage room into our main detective agency office.  We didn't realize, of course, that this room had no connection to central air & was made of all windows.  It was, essentially, a green house filled with 10 sweating bodies instead of fragrant flowers.  When you watch the show you will see a thin-to-thick sheen of sweat on our faces during every office scene.  It's very attractive. ;-)

3. When you shoot in people's homes, they end up hating you.  Because no matter what they think they know about shooting films, they never truly know how disruptive it is.  Shooting much of the footage in my parents' home made things even more interesting.  We had to halt shooting early one night because my Dad pulled out the ultimate Dad trump card of guilt: "I work really hard all week long..."  When a Dad launches into martyr-speak, you know it's time to give him some space.

There were many, many other problems, but you know what?  I can't seem to remember them right now.  In the end, we had an amazing cast & crew that came together under low budget circumstances to create some really funny shit.  For the full cast & crew list you can visit www.getaclue.tv & check out the "About the Show" section.

In the meantime, here are some behind the scenes photos for you:
