Well...due to our vacation in mid December and the fact that my brother and his wife were joining us for Christmas this year, we decided to postpone shooting until after the 25th.
But that doesn't mean that the video is not done and posted!
We worked out rear-ends off with an around-the-clock shooting schedule with our best (or cheapest) director/editor on the job to get this done before the new year...and we just made it!
My sister Maisie, My brothers Mason and Matthew and I set up a lemonade stand that also sold bottle water, giant cookies, and brownies.
We had a ton of customers that were super nice to us. We posted news about our stand using twitter and facebook.
We sold lemonade for over 5 hours in the hot sun. It was over a hundered degrees.
My dad thought it would be a good idea to do a survey of our customers over which colladge was the best. Texas and Texas Tech won sadly. Evan though they won me and my brother still had a good time.
We also used a iphone app called square so evan if they did not have any cash they could use there credit card, we took visa, mastercard, discover, and american express.
We received an email from a friend of ours in Chapel Hill yesterday that made the kids year!
It seems that our friend, Katherine Asaro, went to college with one of the writers/crew members from Psych, Tory Walker (IMDB profile). Katherine thought she would send her the link to our 2010 Caper-Psych tribute and she'd get a kick out of it. Here is Tory's response:
I forwarded this to Steve Franks. He said it was awesome. Tell your friends they got an official thumbs up and a special thanks for including the links to the show!
When I saw this I about dropped my teeth. For those of you who haven't bought and watched every episode from iTunes, Steve Franks (IMDB Profile) is the creator of the show.
I knew the kids, especially the older ones, would love to hear it, so I called them all into the den and read them the email. I was right...they all started freaking out! I didn't even need to tell them who Steve Franks is because they all knew, They'd seen his name in the credits of every episode. Mitchell even said, "The Creator of the show saw our movie!?"
I could see in their eyes that they felt truly special and all from a simple little movie and an email and I thought I would share that with everyone.
Well...it's that time of year again and Merry Christmas!
Our latest caper pays tribute to a show on the USA network we are fond of called Psych. We hope you enjoy our version of a Psych'd out caper. Just click the read more button below to partake of the pure ridiculousness!
Wow! What a Christmas and New Year. When I looked up it was February and the 2009 Caper was still in the camera. Well I finally got a moment to work on it this weekend when we were snowed in for a bit...so without further ado...
This years caper brings back an old foe and brings us a cameo from a professional actor (can you guess who?). Take a gander and let us know what you think.
