Monkey lip service

So, a bit back, i joined some mates of mine from days of yore in creating a couple of chain-mailish videos we've dubbed FOLDIES. I previously wrote about it HERE. The most recent addition to foldie family is this little number written and directed by the redelman girls and the baby jane. It also stars mister zippy and christmas baby whose names friends of the mustard room will recognize. WARNING: If you have any baby dolls, you may want to remove them from the room before viewing this terrifying short film.

On the first day of 2012, whilst stopping for lunch on our way back from a cabin in the woods, my brother from another mother and i began discussing an idea for a collective video project. It was a lofty dream, but one which my cohort has not given up on over the past four months. The idea was for several old pals to create 40-second vignettes using video to be strung together into one singular piece. The catch was that each subsequent participant would only receive the final few seconds of the preceding video to inform the direction of their own piece. The following is the result of the first project. It's kind of a glorious mess which makes me smile every time i watch it.

Our second project was created with less strict perimeters, but it's pretty great. Try to connect the dots and watch for baby jane's amazing portrayal of janeane the secretary.

Tell your friends.
