The idea behind this video was to parody the video that Firefox released (when 3.5 came out) entitled "Thank you for downloading Firefox 3.5" (youtube.com/watch?v=MjViTHrETQI).

Obviously we changed it to foochuck - and the timing was good because I was planning on launching my foochuck.com website shortly thereafter.

My nieces and nephew star in this video. We had a lot of fun putting together. We shot the footage on green screen in about a half hour or so on a hot day in July in Estero, FL. The green screen was pretty much leaning up against my Honda Element and every time the wind would blow the screen would fall forward on the actor and actresses!

It took me a few days to edit, key out the footage and composite it all together in After Effects.

The video was shot with the Sony HDR-FX1 at 1080i. The song you hear is "Pork and Beans" by Weezer. I also used a lot of the backgrounds from Video Copilot's Riot Gear collection. And of course Adobe After Effects is the bomb.

Enjoy!

    This is awesome! I gotta get it to load better for me though b/c it's really choppy to watch, probably b/c I'm using wireless right now...

    Oooh. I just saw the "HD is on" button. Gonna try it w/out HD and see if it is smoother for me.

    Go back and have their faces get drawn with that pencil/sketch effect when it freezes on each of them during the credits. That'd be soooooo rad.
