T-Shirt War!!!

After months of planning and execution, we present the most complex video in our Internetainment history, T-Shirt War! Last fall, we met with Joe Penna (mysteryguitarman) and Billy Reid (verytasteful), intent on creating something that had never been done before: a stop-motion animation video consisting of animation taking place on two T-shirts that interact with one another.

The four of us conceptualized each sequence, then Billy created the individual designs. Rushtshirts.com then printed and delivered over 200 shirts. Soon after, the three of us convened in Lillington to shoot the video over a period of two days (with help from MikeQuad and Karl with a K). Joe then edited it all down to the final product. Whew!! It was fun, and we’re happy to be able to show it to you now:

Now, for the really fun part. YOU can purchase one of the actual T-shirts that we wore in the video, or you can create a replica based on the designs from the video. Go to our T-shirt War Store for that! These t-shirts won’t last long, so head over there and get a collector’s item while you can! Not only will you get a one-of-a-kind T-shirt, but you’ll be supporting our Internetainment ventures so we can continue bringing you videos like this one. Thanks.

Hopefully, it’s pretty obvious that we put a lot of time into this one, and we really appreciate the help from Joe and Billy, as well as Rush T-shirts. With all the work that into to this, we really want to make sure that it gets out there and is seen on the interwebs! So, we’re asking you to send this to any and everyone who you think might like it. Tweet it, email it, facebook it, whatever you want. We’ll appreciate it. A LOT.

The music for this video is from “Get You Back”, a song available on our new album, Up To This Point. On the album, the song actually has lyrics. Download it on iTunes or Amazon.

Batman Moustache

Whether or not Batman has ever had or should ever have a moustache, Link has taken the advice of the majority of you concerned mythical beasts.

Some of you have pointed out that Link looks like a Beatle. I that would be Ringo, to be exact.

So, let us know. Was this an improvement? Or not? Comment below!

Moustache Song Vlog

Who knew facial hair was such a polarizing topic?  (And who knew there was an “o” in Mustache?!)

Rhett transformed one Mythical Beast’s candid email about Link’s moustache into a song:

Subject: Link’s Mustache.

Dear Link, Im deeply concerned. You are generally very attractive, but lately i have been distracted. This is hard for me to say, but i feel as if it is necessary. GET RID OF THE AWFUL HANDLE BAR MUSTACHE. Its ridiculous and deeply troubles me. Facial hair is beautiful, and particularly stunning on you, but is absolutely atrocious in this shape you have shaved it. Please consider my concern tomorrow when you see that razor in the shower. It needs to go.

Comment below:  Do you wanna see the fu manchu (technically not a handlebar) go?  Do you wanna see something else before it floats away entirely?  *And before you solidify your opinion, you should probably watch this quick Seaborne & Roach episode first.

Violent and Awesome Credit Union Commercial

The latest commercial in our I Love Local Commercials web series is for the good folks at Bucks First Federal Credit Union in Bristol, PA. They were such good sports when we had Edbassmaster pull one over on them as Skippy. But the ultimate goal wasn’t to let Skippy make them feel uncomfortable…it was to give them a free, crazy, local commercial. For this one, we went for the classic, scripted commercial featuring the employees as amateur actors. Oh…and a mascot, too.

The series continues in a couple of weeks, and you can still nominate your favorite local business for a free commercial from us and Microbilt! Now, tell us…what did you think of this one?
