"Candle. In a tiny cup.
Candle. In a tiny cup.

Is unbelievably hot. I don't know why."

lol. But seriously, great video guys -- both technically and comedically.
And to the Starks, on behalf of the males on the Escapist forums, sorry for the dirty minds.

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

Oh god, I'm having flashbacks to that ENN episode O.O Suppose that's what happens when you give them "The Talk" the week before.

Anyway, due to last week's episode being absolutely fantastic, I didn't laugh nearly as much but it was still a funny episode.

Also, Jer!

And finally, the continue this trend,

Flowers. In a vase
Flowers. In a vase

Are unbelievably hot. I don't know why.

This is the internet, where immature males sincerely think that calling a woman they've never met hot, is a compliment, when really, it gets really creepy really fast.

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%.

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.

Well, the method of layering is more convenient in this case and saved the team time, and effort, while producing the desired effect.
It's a win/win, as it allows more time for other things (including thinking up more awesome funniness for later videos, though the time savings there is likely indirectly applied in a bigger picture sort of way), and gives us an awesome ghost comedy sketch with ethreal crundies in it.

Crundies... Now I won't be sleeping tonight, thanks!!

That was absolutely brilliant, Graham, Kate and Jer work so well together. Great that Kate is in more LRR stuff too!

'You'll have to kill your underwear' needs to become a meme.

The wrath of House Stark is one to be feared indeed!

Was just about to post about all the, ah, enthusiasm in the thread.

Kate is gorgeous, but also a fine comedic actress and I'm glad she's in more videos with LRR.

 

[Slappybob]

Kate is a very attractive lady and there is no denying that. She is the epitome of a gaming/geek girl! With all due respect to Graham.

Video was great too! Keep up the good work.

LRR videos always need more Jer in a bathrobe!

Ironically, I've actually stopped my "Kate Stark is hot" comments because I realized I was getting creepy. It's pretty redundant at this point anyway. Yes, attractive young woman, let's move on. Let's talk about how the phrase "Crundies" makes me wince more than "Crusty undies", for some reason.

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.

It's simple.

Kill the Ba- I mean, never sleep.

I'm worried that years of falling asleep to well loved action movies may result one of two outcome...

1. Complete non-reaction.

2. Pseudo-vietnam flashbacks involving elements of Platoon, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket,
