Fanfarlo – Shiny Things

I did the wardrobe styling/costumes for this video.

Behind the scenes fun: I sewed all the bracelets/hairpieces the night before, as well as hand painted the shoes. To get the leotards I went to a magical warehouse called Danny’s Warehouse where everything is 10 dollars and dug through bins that are taller than I am, looking for six matching leotards. I couldn’t find the kinds of judges outfits that I wanted, so John drove me to Walmart at midnight the night before. We ate Sonic, it was freezing cold in Lancaster. By the time I arrived on set the next day I’d slept two hours out of the past thirty-five. It was a beautiful shoot.

9:35a – “Did you listen to that Adventure episode of This American Life? It was pretty phoned in, in my opinion.”

She had a nose ring.

She slides the papers across to me and asks if I am so excited about my new car.

I do not look up, I say: “It’s just another material posession.”

She laughs brightly and I sign my name twenty times or more.

The best part about going to the Christmas party of a bunch of film industry people is they make a serious invite.

More Destruction Party

Amanda Mae Meyncke — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 19:28:30 +0000

The posters are done, my hair is washed, 128 people have RSVP’d for the premiere tonight. We’re going to figure out a Google Hangout soon for all Flockers to watch the movie if they want to, but let me get through today first.

Here’s an embarrassing video where people say nice things about me and you can see everyone scurrying around on-set.

This has been a crazy year. Almost the punchline to a joke I can’t quite remember.

“Oh man, 2011.”

“Yeah, that’s a good one.”

Best of Fall TV

What’re you guys liking this season?

1. Up All Night

All people I love, hilarious and just as they’re about to annoy me it saves itself.

(also, I worked half-day on the pilot.)

2. Boardwalk Empire

Not the best show, but pretty much appointment television for me.

3. Allen Gregory

I started watching cause Lacey’s in it, and I really like it. Animated crazy-fest with Jonah Hill and Will Forte.

4. Walking Dead

Addicting. Not great, but addicting beyond belief.

5. Boss

THIS IS THE BEST SHOW I’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

What’ve you been watching?
