James Crouch attended this years Texas Film Awards and took some photos. Maybe you’ll notice a few people that look familiar.
12 Mar Throwback Thursday: Where there’s smoke there’s Jonny
On the set of the Doritos shoot we needed a magical smoke plum to transform a rather sleazy looking guy(played by Adam Duncan) into a more attractive man with Doritos shorts(also played by Adam.) In this gif you can see how Jonny Greenwald got the effect of a decent stream of fog, as opposed to the rather weak puffs the fog machine put out on it’s own. Basically a bag was filmed up with the fog then released all at once.
11 Mar A Desk A Day: Holding down the Fort
Here is Kellie Penna’s current workspace where she discusses shoots and editing notes with Christine who is currently out of town(as you saw last week.) This is her current intern, Casey Jones, who tends to distract from work more than help.
05 Mar Throwback Thursday: All Smiles
One of the most entertaining times working on the set of Funemployment was when we got to take over The Hideout Theater to serve as a backdrop for a scene. Lots of laughs were had during the filming of this scene as Matthew Broussard(pictured below) was allowed to do some improv for the cast and crew.
04 Mar A Desk A Day: Seat Tray
Today’s very first image ever for A Desk A Day comes from Christine Chen. She took this image while on a flight to Mumbai, where even in the air she was working away editing a Moth to Flame project. Come back next week for another image from the field.
26 Feb Throwback Thursday: Making Art
A Bird’s Nest required the creation of a hideaway in the forest that appeared to be created by found objects. Which included a doll that appeared to have gone through quite a traumatic experience before being used as decoration. As you can see in the gif director Christine Chen made sure the doll had an authentic antiqued look to it.

12 Feb Throwback Thursday: Happy V-Day
Here’s an old gif I made back when we were running the Funemployment kickstarter. Hope you all have a good Valentine’s Day weekend. Do check out the trailer if you haven’t seen it yet.
05 Feb Throwback Thursday: Two Men and a Funemployment
This photo was taken on a day when two friendly movers from Two Men and A Truck came out to help us shoot a scene. It was probably the easiest moving day they ever had on the set of Funemploment. All that was being moved was a mattress that day.
