T-Shirt War : McDonald's Edition
Here’s our latest video, made for McDonald’s and Coke. It’s currently airing in movie theatres and on television, throughout the states. As with the last T-Shirt War video, it all started with a series of brainstorming sessions with Rhett & Link about what the video needed, and figuring out the gags. Once the basic designs were approved(I’ll post some of the "rejected" designs soon), I then went ahead and created the final versions you see in the video. Joe Penna came back again to photograph and edit it to perfection. And, like before, I also abused my face to create all of the sound effects. Enjoy!

I just got back from a great trip in North Carolina, visiting my pals Rhett & Link. We've got a fantastic video in the works, but because of some delays out of our control, that video won't be seeing the light of day until November..ish. I also had the pleasure of spending some time with the enormously talented Joe Penna, who will be directing that video.
Speaking of directing, Link directed my upcoming music video. Say tuned for that, I'm just in the editing process now.
