WHO SHOT MAMBA? – CHAPTER 1

by Brian on November 10, 2009

So at the end of this post, there’s an embed for Chapter 1 of the broadband motion picture, Who Shot Mamba?.

Before we get there…

1) This Prelude to a Who Shot Mamba? ebook tells the entire history of the project. From blog, to 5-minute short, to full-length feature film – all in just over 3.5 years! It’s a quick 25-page read, and it’s free and fun.

2) Join the Facebook page – there are screengrabs, cast photos, and hopefully discussions that say things like, “I like this. You people did a good job. Also, you appear deceptively muscular to me.”

3) On the WSM? homepage, you can find links to all of our social networking stuff, and other business of note, including the full release schedule. Basically, we’re weekly for nine weeks, excluding two around X-Mas – we may run some deleted scenes or other fun stuff during that time.

Ummm…thanks to everyone who worked on this, and all of you who stuck with it through its tumultuous birthing process via my old site YAYsports! NBA…here it is. Smiley face.

On a scale of 1-10, how is my important actoring.

2 Brian November 11, 2009 at 7:57 AM: It is – my Merri Sherman voice is the fake one.
3 nrojb November 11, 2009 at 8:00 AM: 10.1

Thank you in advance for your reply

7 AmyLaurel November 11, 2009 at 2:34 PM: Ten squared. I would have made it to the infinite power, but the yellow utility belt seemed a hair more important. Do you think you could have actored with out the yellow utility belt? Please answer in the form of haiku, thanks.
8 Sam November 11, 2009 at 3:02 PM: You get a 10 just for your super-dramatic jump off of a small rock at 6:10.

But you lose points for your “MAMBA!!!” I think you had way more to give than that.
9 Brian November 11, 2009 at 9:11 PM: One two, belt is needed,
The belt is for storing my rocks,
All the advice is heeded,
Sittin on the dock of the bay.
10 Brian November 11, 2009 at 9:12 PM: How many points do I lose? This seems a reasonable criticism.
11 Sir Pooh de Bear November 12, 2009 at 2:40 AM: What's SBL? Will the young woman at the door of Mamba's [apparent] abode reappear? These are my questions so far.

12 Brian November 12, 2009 at 8:20 AM: You Sir, are observant.
13 Wish November 12, 2009 at 8:55 AM: Can someone live blog WSM? while they watch it? I'd like to read that. Or some sort of EW-type recap of each part that's released….
14 Brian November 12, 2009 at 9:01 AM: I love liveblogs.

21 Sam November 12, 2009 at 7:08 PM: Just a few-you should have been shaking with rage and also on the verge of tears.

By the way, I LOL'd at trying to rhyme dresser with barretta. I totally forgot about that.

26 TheRealSkot November 14, 2009 at 4:44 PM: I think he gave all he had to give in the other 926 takes of that scene that day. I couldn't hear right for days after that shoot.
27 Brian November 14, 2009 at 4:45 PM: Don't forget we shot 2 versions of that scene too – remember Cheese Puffs?
28 TheRealSkot November 14, 2009 at 6:14 PM: hahaha ohhhh yeah.

31 orange5o November 15, 2009 at 4:49 PM: will that be in the deleted scenes?
