We The Spies - Exciting New Short Film (upcoming)

We The Spies
Mission 666


   Hey, things are going great here in the Filming Humor HQ. Haha, we're just preparing for our next video where we will be doing a short (10-15minute) film following the journey of this team of spies. It is currently looking to be a great movie. Lots of interesting parts. Not so random like our last video, but implementing almost every skill we have ever used in film making, among many more. Making this a very exciting production.


    This movie is also exciting because we are going to be having the largest number of actors on scene than ever before. Granted this will be hard to organize, but my Co Director, Ethan Carlson, will be there as well helping out with the production. We will be trying out a few new actors. To be quite honest this has got to be the largest high class thing we have ever really really gotten into (exempting LO2 as it is not finished, and still under construction - but if this turns out as well as it looks, we may be better prepared for LO2... whenever we get around to it ha).


   Some of the new actors we have coming out include, Mariah Morey as the spy Jane, Nick Mendenhall as a spy, Haley Rondeau will be working a bit behind the scenes, Mariah McAllister as the Spy Leader, and Sam Shake as Lucifer the Devil (though he was in one video we made over a year ago). 
   Mariah Morey is an exciting actor to have over, she has some background working in theater, and much like Scott Sabatini (who will also be at this filming) she is capable of fulfilling near any role or position needed for the character. Whether that be poor on the street, rich and fancy, or wild and crazy, making Mariah a surprisingly lucky addition to the team. 
   Nick Mendenhall, red hair, smart, crazy and out of this world thinker. We have him playing this spy role that's not to main, but will get to see some action in the film. From what I know of him we should expect great results. And then Mariah McAllister, friends to Kalyn and Sabrina from our last surfer film. 
   Haley Rondeau found out about Filming Humor through Mariah Morey as they are friends. Mariah Morey was talking to Haley and going through the script together, and as it turned out they would be hanging out the day before the filming, so as it so happened we got another hand behind the scenes and for any back up characters. Currently we have her as the pancake chef (if you don't know already, Pancakes while filming for us is tradition). 
   Mariah McAllister is... twisted, wild, and fits the position as a Spy Leader, to what extent she can act is to be found out, but it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. 
   Sam Shake, playing Lucifer the Devil, is a menacing person, with that sort of personality that you can see the evil lurking inside. But seriously, he is pretty amazing, we worked one film with him and he was never able to make it back for another until now. Just look at this photo of him, he makes the perfect devil character haha.
Sam as a Zombie for Halloween




   Other actors we are having over who have been in recent productions include, Kalyn Erickson, Scott Sabatini, Stephen Gomes, and Myself. 
   Kalyn has from the start, been a great help in productions! She has been a dancer for many many years, and has costumes up her sleeves. She also has the knowledge about make up, face paint, and other fields to be major help behind the scenes. And then she is also pretty good at displaying emotions as we were able to see in the prior movie we made. In all it's going to be great having her out for another movie... the fact that she can drive and lives less than a mile down the highway also helps, ha.
Kalyn and her many costumes




   Scott Sabatini, his name gives me chills of excitement. If you can get him to the filming he can be the single greatest actor when given the chance. He will do anything for a film; once he threw himself down a flight of stairs, and another time he took his shirt off and got shot full of airsoft (he did bleed, but laughed through it all haha). In the last film he played the blood covered monster, we told him what to do and he did it... to be honest that was my favorite character in the surfer movie. Scott also played the cave dweller character in the surfer video. He is going to be a great asset playing green hell dwelling lizards.
Scott as the Bloody Monster


   Stephen Gomes is back in the team! I'm actually really excited, he did a great job in Antigone, and an amazing job in The Sandwich. I'm hoping this time around we are able to get a more serious tone (the last filming he attended we were all pretty wild and off the walls laughing). Hopefully he will progress even further in this filming. He will be playing a red demonic lizard, much like Scott's role, just red. It's great to have him back in action and on the team!
Stephen in Antigone


   And then there's Alex Chandler, myself, playing a main character in the movie. Which in a way is awesome fun, but a draw back as I can't direct all that much myself. Thankfully Ethan will be there. I play James who is a spy in a relationship with Jane (played by Mariah Morey). Anyhow, I'm hoping I can pull off my role nicely.
From the last film, I played a military man.




   I'm also pleasantly delighted to announce that Ethan Carlson will have a part in this movie. It has been ages since he last attended a filming (The Sandwich was filmed forever ago, but he was in it). If you know anything about Ethan, then you know that he could be considered a genius easily. Place him behind the scenes of any production, or in the spot light, or in a side role of any production, and suddenly you have an amazing film. Period. He is such a forward thinker, he has been helping out here and there with the script of We The Spies. He told me just the other day, "hey Alex, if the Gothic role isn't filled by 7 days and 6 minutes before the filming I'll take the role. Cause I've always wanted to play a goth character." That there is Ethan, very extraordinary. This will be a very nice role to see him play, though it lasts less than 20 seconds. But I swear he will probably be one of your favorite characters. A summary of Ethan would have to be that some of his ideas are so good and so well thought up or out of the box, that they never get released (as is true with many of the films he is in), but when they are released they are as good as butter.
The Priest is Arriving - from The English Channel


   Zachrey Manning will also be there. He will have a couple... err... interesting? roles. They are out of this world and hard to explain. Therefore I will just call them, Snake and Fluffy T-Rex. The thing about Zach is that he is hyped up on either life or sugar all the time (much like myself). But this can be distracting to film with. So I have given him some roles that may fit... We haven't made a movie with him in awhile, it'll be nice to have him there. In an unfortunate, fortunate sense, it's almost good Chase couldn't make it. Cause Chase plus Zach equals one wild time. haha, though I am sad to say that Chase can't make it to the filming this time around.
Zach as Dr Hobo from The Spaztastic News


   I am delighted to say that Isaac Mort will be joining us behind the scenes on this one. He used to come over for videos a lot. Unfortunately none of them were ever released because of the complications of The Original Legend of Two (he was in an episode of The Spaztastic News in Season One). But he was a great actor, he has said he doesn't particularly want to act in this one, which is fine, Ethan said the same thing before he got a role, ha. But if he is still able to make it we will be having some good input from him. He would also be helping Haley in the kitchen.
From the video Awe Not Again


   In final conclusion, we are appearing to have a great turnout this time around, and the desire to push this movie to it's limits is high. We have lots of work on the Script and Plot every day, and things are falling right in place for the filming in November, let's just hope it doesn't rain or else my brother will be holding an umbrella haha...


Thanks For Reading,
