I met Johannes through Xeni, who had been familiar with his internet famous comedic creations.
This particular episode was shot on the back end of a marathon shoot at the E-Tech convention in San Diego. The party depicted was an after party for all the uber-tech savvy attendees. Johannes decided to crash it as the ambassador of the last remaining Soviet satellite. I followed him around with the camera, while playing his assistant ‘Dimitri.’ I’m also the VO of the Disney exec that kicks him out. We didn’t actually get to film that part the first time around, so we recreated it in post.
One of my favorite Klaus Pierre pieces. We set him loose around Santa Monica where he literally stopped traffic with his attempts to woo local females. A lot of this is just spot-on Klaus improv.
Based on the success of the live-action mock sitcom, we decided to pursue a full-blown homemade animation starring CompuBeaver. I wrote the thing, and did the overblown VO of Lumberjack Mccune. We turned up the cheese factor to mimic bad Japanime. By all accounts, the result was a gigantic flop…
Of all the nutball ideas I came up with for BBtv, this one was my pride and joy. Created for Uncle Duke (HST). The VO is a little flat, as we ended up putting the wrong take of my HST impression into the video. So it goes…
The second half is an animated short by Eric Henry.
A strange artsy case mod that we decided to devote an episode to. I play the part of Chuck, the IT guy. The intro song/montage was some of the most fun stuff I’d ever worked on.
This is one of the two BBtv episodes in which I appear on camera (in the second half). These girls were a blast to hang out with and had created some really demented art fixtures.
Klaus Pierre, the now internet-famous German-French Action Hero, was an old friend of mine that I decided to devote a BBtv episode to. So, I took him to a local live production of “Point Break.” with the intention of throwing a little monkey wrench into their audience participation-driven show…
One part of my job at BBtv was to find animation hiding in obscurity on the internet and acquire it for free (in exchange for promotional links and such). Here was one of the best such pieces; originally aired on the Thailand MTV awards.
