In order to achieve the proper sense of realism required extensive market research in the form of leaving phone messages in character for each other.

Here is but a small, behind-scenes-sample of this market research.

Phone Message: Cliff’s Crabs

And don’t forget to buy your tickets to “Happy Whackin’ Jim McCrackin” at the Edmonton Fringe Festival, Aug 13-22!

From the makers of the smash hit For the Love of a Zombie. Comes Accidental Humour Co’s next big ridiculous thing.

Happy Whackin’ Jim McCrackin!

Jim McCrackin kills people for a living. Deal with it. But things are making him rethink his life goals. And when a bizarre mix-up results in his job getting waay to personal,  things get a little dicey.
This will be his last job. One way or another.

This means were were formally requested to create a new episode of Rodney Cones (like we weren’t going to anyway).
We at the Co would like to formally thank everyone who came and voted for us. All three of you.
This next one is for you guys.

Metro Digital Shorts! http://www.accidentalhumour.com/?p=243 http://www.accidentalhumour.com/?p=243#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:59:21 +0000 Brent http://www.accidentalhumour.com/?p=243 Just a friendly reminder from the crew that our fantabulous new short “Rodney Cones” will be making its screen debut this Saturday at Mostly Water Theatre’s Metro Digital Shorts.

The festivities begin 9 PM at Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, downtown Edmonton, AB. There will be plenty of other great local short-films to be watched, but we especially want you to come and VOTE (that’s right… VOTE) as a card-carrying audience member for your favorite short.
Of course… we all know which one that is going to be, don’t we? Probably the latest thing from Highwire Films. But that doesn’t mean you can’t ALSO vote Rodney Cones into a top-three placement! We believe in you!!

See you there!

Below are some of the hilarious inner-dialogue moments that were hard to hear or not fully used in the final cut. Enjoy them to the hilt:

To this end, we present to you a preview of our current webisode project that will be [hopefully] displayed at Mostly Water’s Metro Digital Shorts on March 27, 9PM at Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, downtown Edmonton, AB.

It will also [hopefully] be voted by the audience into a place of prestige by the viewing audience and we will be politely asked to submit another one. This will be our first Metro submission since our triumphant run with the Variety Show back in the days of yore. We’re trying something a little different now… but hey, enough talking about it. Why don’t you just take a look:
