images are fun

hey everyone, we wanted to once again thank everyone for voting for us. it feels good knowing that 96 out of 101 people voted for our show at the screening. and then we wonder who those other five people are and what the fuck their problem is.

asses.

anyways, here are some production stills from this past episode. YAY.


everyone in the Quizzlers Lair.


Stan & Ultra press photo.


in the studio


the ULTRAPHONE™


another from the Quizzlers Lair.


smoke break.


the ULTRA-POLES™


the studio mess. sometimes it seems like we spend more time cleaning up the messes we make than actually shooting.


table full-o-props.


rear-projected wall climbing. by far one of the most ridiculous things to set up and shoot, considering it's only given about 2 seconds of screen time. note the high-tech rope holding device.


austin in the studio riding a bike that doesnt like to give rides. we had about a week and a half of preproduction on this episode, polishing the story, gathering props, finding actors, etc. we were having a hard time finding a bike, much less an OLD bike for the shoot. meredith found this at a yard-sale on the way from charlottesville to arlington on the day of the outside shoot.


press photo #2


THE BiG HONKIN' climbs a wall.


still from the animated intro. between writing, finding props, shooting, scoring the entire damned episode, our full-time jobs and everything else, this intro took me about two weeks in all of my free time to draw. drawings were hand-drawn, scanned, then colored, animated and effected in the computer. two words: never. again.


and the cover, for those who like that sort of thing;

this particular cover was modeled after the cover for BATMAN #9. if anyone knows what i'm talking about, then i probably dont have to explain it anyway. because youre a nerd.



lastly, you can watch "THE DEFENDERS OF STAN episode 8: Bat-Phoning It In!" and all the other episodes over at channel102, and we also are proud to announce that www.defendersofstan.com is live. just not VERY live.

This One's For The Fellas...

The 8th episode of The Defenders of Stan took first at Monday night’s screening. If that isn’t a testament to the power of graft, I don’t know what is.

Please enjoy.

Stan 8: First Blood

Deep in the Big Honkin’ Lair, we are putting the 8th episode of The Defenders of Stan through quality control. It’s a lot like those car commercials where they smash SUVs into brick walls while ethnically diverse scientists in safety goggles stand around checking things off clipboards… except we're all white guys who don't give a damn about highway casualty statistics.

Nevertheless, tomorrow night the newest installment of Stan will be unveiled. If you are in New York City, make your way to Tribeca Cinemas. This will be the last Channel 102 show in three months, so get it while it’s hot.

back stage pass to a gold medal

so for anyone interested, this is what about $150, two hours in kinkos (stupid jamming printers), and a long time ironing on iron-ons looks like...





and this is what it looks like when $150, two hours in kinkos (stupid jamming printers), and a long time ironing on iron-ons is on fire.



pretty sad, huh? i got so exciting makin all this schwag that i ended up writing a whole thing for the back of the book that you never even see.

yeah. i am lame.

here is a detail of the back.






and here are some production stills.


thanks to everyone that voted for us. it makes us feel right at home, even though we're the outsiders.

stan ep7 preview

and for those that want a sneak peak.



hurray

Episode 7

In less than an hour we’ll be jumping into the BigHonkinMobile and driving up to New York for the Channel 102 screening. Like The Beatles on Ed Sullivan or the 1893 World’s Fair, I have no doubt tonight’s screening will be one of those rare touchstones that mark a seismic shift in American culture. We can even get tacos afterwards.

and while we are at it...

i totally forgot to put up the covers from last month's STAN.

because i am a tool.



and lazy.


a lazy tool.

so much to everyone's anticlimactic excitement; the covers.


"The Defenders Of Stan" Episode 7 is currently in production, and we're all very excited about it, despite being very tired from two 6-7 hour shoots.

a blast from the past...

so. this came out over christmas. which i find funny. happy birthday, jesus! we're bastardizing you.


so thusly, i post this. because, even though it's been over a year, and we never saw our vision come to an end on our own terms, people are still talking about it.


in british smut mags.



thanks to harrison and mac for letting us know our show was in here.

"Jesus Christ, Supercop" on Channel102.net

Silver...

The Defenders of Stan Episode 6 is #2 this month at channel102.net. We're honored, humbled, and extremely excited to be sandwiched between a show about a porn shop and a show called "The Man who Loved Lesbians."

God Bless America.

ahh, production stills

just a few pictures from "The Defenders Of Stan-episode 5: nobody's purrrfect" we had yet to post.

gearing up for episode 6! all seems well.
