     COMMENTARY

    Well, I guess this is the one that defined our early days. Still the most popular one in the series, and our most award-winning movie, this was also the easiest to make. I actually made up the story as I shot it, and wrote down the lines for later voiceovers. I also didn't really want to include the YMCA dance. It was originally an idea I had for part 1 but didn't use since I thought it'd be too cliche`. I guess I was wrong. Anyway, this is the one that sealed the fate of Delusions of Grandeur - the few people who have heard of the show tend to refer to it as 'the dancing Star Wars figure show'. Which I can't stand, naturally. That aside, this is still one of my all-time favorites...

     ON-SET DISASTERS
  • There weren't really any disasters per se, but this movie was taken from concept to completion in the span of 3 days. In other words, 72 hours straight of shooting and editing. Seemed to work out.
