I fell for this trap before, never again.

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

You guys are very enthusiastic. Please remember Kate is Graham's younger sister.

Exactly what I was thinking. I suspect that he is beginning to regret bringing her into the company when this happens every time she's on a show.

OT: I liked to video. A silly sort of fun that's a nice break from raking leaves.

 

[Dascylus]

I wanna see the Ghostbuster B-team come in and tiredly say... "Yeah, we get this all the time"

And also, do people set up cameras in their houses to try and catch ghosts? Is that a thing? Should I start doing that now?

 

[Tiamattt]

Aw, poor Jer. He finally does a whole video after almost a year, does awesome as always and people are too "distracted" to notice.

Brilliant job as usual LRR.

 

[Clankenbeard]

And: Nice see-through effect!

Very nice indeed. I've wondered about the best way to do this effect. There doesn't appear to be an green screening going on. Do you:
1. TRACK 1: Film Graham in the proper environment doing all of the appropriate stuff.
2. TRACK 2: Film the same environment without Graham (or just use a still) with the exact same camera placement.
3. Overlay TRACK 1 over TRACK 2 and SET the transparency for each layer to 50%.

Of course, you're doing some split screen stuff for the shots where everyone is present.

Great episode, by the way. Just put a potted plant over/around the crundies.

 

[LostintheWick]

Immovable Crundies.
Never thought that would be a punchline for any joke. Ever.

And it was awesome.

Are you honestly surprised about this sort of behaviour from the peanut gallery?

OT: Very funny video, exactly what I needed after midterms.

 

[Aureliano]

Mmm. Five points to whoever came up with, "You have to kill your underwear." Priceless watching Jer tentatively murdering his boxer briefs.

 

[Eric the Orange]

You guys are starting to creep me out. There's a fine line between complement and creepiness. You're on creepiness.

I'd compliment Graham on really looking good in that sheet except I think that might be bad, I'm told you should never compliment white people in full body sheets.

Says the poster with the Orangutan staring lovingly through the screen at me.

I must decline Orangutan, but don't think I'm not flattered.

I expected it from the Facebook comments, but not this much from the forums

Yeah, general rule of thumb: if you'd feel creepy saying it in person, it's creepy not a compliment

That's it exactly.
Now, that means you can't do any fancy effects to the ghost, because any filters would affect that whole half of the frame. For In Death as in Life [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/5198-In-Death-as-in-Life] we did actually fully green screen Paul's ghost character into the scene. But we didn't think we needed to for this one.

 

[Dascylus]

This video gave me a really good idea...

My friends girlfriend is really scared of ghosts. She's friends with my housemate and reguarly stays over and for the last few weeks we've been freaking her out about the ghost in the attic.
I ordered the thinkgeek evil-tron and we are rigging a remote control car with brushes in the attic to get our scary scratchy noises on cue.

I'm gonna do a video "to convince her there are no ghosts" and have creepy spooky things in the background.

Just gotta incorporate spiders in there somehow.

I may seem like an evil man but I know they intend to pull something on me in the future involving a bunch of fireworks and an early wakeup as well as some plan I haven't discovered yet.

 

[JacobdeFries]

So, the ghost just gave them crap...for all eternity.

 

[Don Reba]

Oh, why not Tally? I mean, Kate is great and all, but she just does not go with Jer quite as well...

 

[Lyri]

You guys are very enthusiastic. Please remember Kate is Graham's younger sister.

So like...can we get Graham in a tank top too then?

 

[DJShire]

You guys are very enthusiastic. Please remember Kate is Graham's younger sister.

Yea guys, be respectful...at least a little....that's not too much to ask is it?


Oh wait, internet, nevermind.

Tally wasn't available at time of shooting?
It's not Commodorehustle, so Jer wasn't playing himself, he was just playing some guy whose girlfriend happened to be played by Kate. If they were to limit themselves to only casting Jer in a couple when Tally is around, or Graham in a couple when Kathleen is around it has the potential to severely limit what they can do (since they tend to have to work around who is available for videos).

 

[Varya]

Awesome video guys. And it's great to see Kate in a video, she's very talented, the Stark bloodline is a strong one. Also good to see Jer again. And the video itself was hilarious, the underwear stabbing scene was epic.

That was a rhetorical question, but thanks for the answer, just as well. The point was that I find it hard to see Jer and Kate as a couple. Tally would have been perfect, obviously. Another option would have been to replace Jer with James, for instance.
