Hey.

1) I'm just using a table lamp with a 75 or 100 watt bulb (not sure which, must check) and a desk lamp with a 60-watt bulb, favoring one side.

2) The cup looks REALLY big when "steven" makes close-up shots.  Like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

3) I speculated several times on what the commercials would be like made with Lego, using the original commercials' soundtracks.  But I actually came up with this series as a way to keep "Holding Our Own" fans interested in the storyline while I work on my regular series, which takes a long time to make from one episode to the next.  So, for that reason, the commercials will be real-world.  I'll be recycling the animation in episode 2 and beyond, maybe adding a bit of new animation with each episode so that Brent has a larger repitoire (sp?).  In the 1990s "Beetlejuice" cartoon, they did something similar.  The series was traditionally-drawn.  But they always had one short segment per episode in CGi, which was far more primitive at the time.  The CGI was used whenever they were showing a scene on TV in the storyline.

4) I watched your animation.  I liked it.  It's cool to see the older Fabuland figures as the characters.  I noticed the elephant's clue, but won't spoil it.

Hmm, that was an interesting concept. As usual, the comedy was spot on. Id say, stylistically, it might make it more entertaining if you moved the camera around to make it look handheld. That would introduce some veriety into the talking heads shots. Overall, good job. I'll watch the second part tooo

I liked the simplicity of this. I thought there could have been a little more animation, since it was basically Brent just sitting there. But, I would like to see a "theatrical trailer version", perhaps? Where Brent talks about the movie trailers that he doesn't like. But, I'm liking this "commercial roundup" idea.
