STAY TUNED MEMORIES 9/22/05

Stay Tuned had a really cool intro. We took a whole day to shoot it even though it is literally one camera shot. We slipped in a quick appearance of Chainsaw as the featured performer. It started off as a visual idea I had been working on for months trying to perfect sped up film with our somewhat inadequate gear. Shane and his band, Peter James, wrote a song for the intro. We took our originally planned cast of four and ran a sped up scene that was reminiscent of the Intro to another show that was introduced that same year...

That show was King of the Hill, created by Mike Judge. Of course we were better dressed...seeing as we were progressive thinking college kids and they were rednecks from Texas.

Probably one of the smartest things Stay Tuned did as a show was showcase Chainsaw's talents as a lovable lunatic who seemed to just roll with the punches. One of his foils in an episode was another popular character, The Mime. (played by Yours Truly)
