Episode 26: Deathwatch
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Young Gordon Leville has just taken a job as a watchman working the graveyard shift. An otherwise boring job turns into anything but as Gordon is quickly thrust into every adventure movie you’ve ever seen.
We shot this episode in one night from around 10pm to 5am in an office building we weren’t supposed to be in. This, of course, makes for the best shooting environment possible (not really). You should expect nothing less than the height of professionalism when working with the SOLMI crew.
Anyway, we were really excited to have Dave back working with us again. He did such an awesome job in Superhero we couldn’t help but bring him back. Brian and Dave have a presence together that transcends their brotherly bond. It’s magic. Pure and simple.
Writing credit goes to Brian, once again. That kid’s going places, let me tell you. Jason (that’s me) shot and edited. The fireball was Brian’s brainchild and carries with it that same professionalism I mentioned above. Again, only the best for SOLMI.
The title for this piece came from the deathwatch that a friend of ours placed on SOLMI. According to our pal Justin, SOLMI has been on deathwatch since January and if we hadn’t posted a new show by April 1st, we would be officially dead to him. So what did we do? We looked that challenge straight in the eye and said, “Listen, I’m going to cut you. And cut you deep.” That’s just how we roll.
