Back in March of this year, our friend Jeremy Inman asked Robbie and me (Jeff) to make a 1970’s Spider Man movie parody to be played during his feature length film: Super Hero Party Clown.
A few days ago Robbie and I wrapped our shoot for the 70’s segment, which consisted of an obligatory warehouse fight and an origin scene.
Robbie starred as the 70’s Arachnid-Man, and I was directing.
The first day of shooting was in the basement of the San Jose State theater, which was frightening because literally just as we walked in we saw a man putting up a sign for asbestos.
The second and final day was the warehouse fight, which was a lot of fun because we had so many resources at our disposal. Four actors as thugs, break away wooden boards, an entire empty pool filled with junk, and a jib for the camera.
We choreographed an entire fight scene that turned out beautifully. At one point Robbie gets a box on his head while three thugs smack him with boards. Check out the behind the scenes footage here.
I’ll hopefully post the segment online when it’s finished being edited by whoever it’s being handed off to. But for now I’ll leave you with a behind the scenes shot: Robbie being thrown through a fence.
I laughed at “Arachnid-Man” xD
Also, I think this is great because it’s a movie inside a movie.
Also, awesome new site content =]
