Creative Cow was so impressed with our spoof trailer for the movie “P2″ that they asked us to write an article about it for their website. For those of you who don’t know, Creative Cow is an amazing user’s group, forum, and magazine for media producers and artists, and we’re very very proud to be featured in one of the very places we’ve turned to for help so many times for technical questions.
For any of you who have ever wondered about how we make things over here at PB, the following article gets pretty dang explicit.
P2 is a movie about getting stuck in a parking garage and being held captive by a deranged parking attendant. Our spoof is about getting stuck in a parking garage and being held captive by a deranged tapeless HD camera.

Once upon a time, some guys calling themselves Team Lower Gatsby and some guys calling themselves Psychic Bunny (some of those guys from each actually being the same guys) got together and made an internet TV pilot. It was five minutes long and silly and made in about 5 days at a total cost of about $150.

Enjoy.
