Production Update: Christmas Special

With the news floating around the internet about the Monty Python boys (ah... old men) getting back together, we decided to put together this little Monty Python tribute sketch. Full of Monty Python references, I doubt even they would be able to pick them all...

Production Update

With the news of the Monty Python team reforming currently circulating the internet, we decided to make a quick tribute... and we are filming tonight! We should have it up by Christmas and if all goes to plan, the next webisode as well. Talk about a stack of goodies for Christmas!

Production Update: Webisode 2

That's right, our second webisode is finally online! Check it out and why not visit our YouTube page and like it!

Production Update: Webisode 1

By now, you have all heard of the Mayan Apocalypse which is based on the end-date of a 5125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012."

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Florida. A little known interpretation of this transition is that the date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 21 December 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.

What better way to engage in a spiritual transformation than by watching the first webisode of And Several Buthers' Aprons.

Production Update: Back On Track

As you have no doubt seen, production on And Several Butchers' Aprons has started to slide - something we are truly sorry about. To misquote Douglas Adams: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." In other words, the detour taken will be beneficial to the production in the long run. </CRYPTIC>

So from here the plan is simple: finish the first webisode. We have been editing it and will get it finished and online soon - and by soon we mean before the end of the Mayan calendar! The very least we can do is show you another sketch... so here it is:

Production Update

Spending numerous hours editing late at night doesn't have to be an arduous task - you simply need to approach it with a unique perspective. Our hands on boom swinger and co-editor Luke decided what better way to brighten up everyones world that to edit dressed as a banana.

His reward for bringing humour to the editing session: to slap himself so we could get the perfect slap sound effect.

Ah Luke, editing would be boring without you :)

Production Update

Is there anything better than spending hours sitting in an edit suite? Probably... but at least we are having a blast doing it! Editing is well and truly underway and we will have another sneak peek online soon. Also, we filmed a couple of pick ups this week that were needed to finish the opening credit sequence - we had a fantastic time filming them and think you will enjoy them almost as much!

Production Update: Sneak Peek!

So here is the first sneak peek at a sketch from our upcoming series...

Production Update

Not content to just fill your lives with (hopefully) humorous content, this blog is a part of the upcoming sketch comedy show "And Several Butchers' Aprons". At present we are in early stages of pre-production where our team get together and work on being funny and coming up with side-ripping eye-popping bladder-emptying uproariously comical sketches. The scripts are being typed up and if all goes according to plan, we will start filming stuff with the intent to have it edited and online by the end of the year.

The official "And Several Butchers' Aprons" website is in the final stages of being polished and will be fully functional and operational within a few weeks - stay tuned!
