What editing software do you use?
We use Final Cut Pro for Mac. The fireballs, etc. are done in After Effects. For some of our earlier stuff we edited on Adobe Premiere, which we would strongly suggest if you're looking for a cheaper alternative for your PC.
What camera do you use?
Sony DVCAM, Canon XL1, Canon XL2, Sony Handicam... we don't actually own a camera, we just use our friends and co-workers.
Where do you get your music?
It's all pretty much made in Soundtrack, part of Final Cut Studio.
Are you brothers?
We realize our last names are strikingly similar, but unfortunately that similarity is not enough to unite our bloodlines.
So... are you guys gay?
Probably not.
Are you LDS?
No, but we grew up with a lot of LDS folks and we find them to be very kind, devout people.
When is "The Bench Mob" coming out?
Maybe never. I know, I know... we promised it a long time ago, but we've just never gotten around to editing the final cut of it. We DID however have a version good enough to graduate with, so we'll see...
What's that song in the trailer for "The Bench Mob" ?
It's called "Four Years" and it's written and performed by Ted Van Brunt off of his album Politan. Download the song here.
