Not too long ago I was hanging out with this girl I had recently met and was slowly attempting to go past the friendship stage. It got to the point where I was certain I had crossed that line and things were looking good.
That was until I realised that Valentine's Day was coming up! At this point in time I didn't have a lot of disposable income floating around and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to come up with a Valentine's gift.
One night while I was thinking of something original to do for this girl, the idea for Valentine's Video For My Sweetheart popped in my head. I was excited and thought it would be a funny gift. I opened up Final Draft and banged away at a script into the early hours of the morning.
The very next morning I got the terrible news that my new friend that was girl wanted to stay just friends.....AIE YAAAA! I shrugged my shoulders and was depressed about it for a week but decided to re-work the script and shoot it as a Gradual Upgrade skit.
The shoot itself went along at a brisk pace, there's a lot of funny moments that were cut due to time issues, as well as some great gag reel material that will eventually be posted.
On a side note, this marks the first skit that Davin has had no part in (he's in Vancouver, I'm in Fredericton) and it also introduces Crash from The Fox as a new regular in our skits.
There is also an alternative version of this skit that can be viewed here. This version was a personal one that we did for Crash and his lady friend. He's made it public so I'm posting the link.
