I really appreciate how well edited the whole production is. The computer graphics, music, sound effects even ... it's a top-notch product. 
Even the jokes are good--although, I'm still not sure whether you write them in advance, or just ad-lib them as you move through each take....
Always wondered whether they made a premium (full size) "BF3" Brooklyn Dodgers pennant. Now I know!
Keep'em coming. |
Thanks Kyle!
Yup, Bart is the master Editor/Director/Producer who makes it happen. He does this on a professional level with countless major companies and organizations. So TSOG is just something he does on the side... it is indeed lots of work, but something he enjoys doing and finds rewarding. While he doesn't really collect, he loves Baseball and we both agreed that the "stuff" was meant to be shared.
As for the jokes... most are just thought up on the spot. We ad-lib almost everything, but have gone to a format in which we do want a semi-formal opening and closing. Sometimes Bart comes in knowing exactly what he wants... The next episode will be an example of that. We are featuring vintage Ad Signs, and I suggested we open with a vintage TV Ad to introduce the video. Bart had one in mind that I didn't even remember, and will work great. But more often, we just ideate something right on the spot.
I come up with the themes for each segment, and always have to do some homework before we shoot, so I have the right names, dates, stats, etc. And of course I supply all the "stuff"... So it makes for a great collaborative effort.
Thanks, and gotta say I love your latest pennant creations. So beautiful and true to the originals. Infinitely superior to anything being made today!
