I'm glad y'all enjoy the short.

Details! Details!
How long did it take to get it together? How did you get funding? What was the budget?
Did you cut it on a mac? (I presume so
With FCP? And?
What cameras / equipment were used?

Details, eh?
"Spy Moms" was shot over 2.5 days, took about 3.5 weeks to cut, and about 1 week for audio post (adding effects, mixing audio levels, cleaning up dialogue, etc.,). It was shot w/a Sony Z1U and down-converted to DV (not FCP 5 at the time) and cut w/FCP 3. The budget (which was largely made up of an endowment the director won) was enough to cover equipment rental (audio package, full lighting package, jib for camera, etc.,) and craft services (food) on the shooting days. The crew were all friends of the director and I think most of the cast had worked w/the director before too.
I was on set shooting some behind-the-scenes stuff for 2 days and it was a really good set. Very efficient and very professional. And I can't say enough of Derek (who was the production audio guy as well as doing the effects and final audio mixing). His audio post work really took the short to the next level.
As for sequel possibilities I wouldn't hold my breath, but I have been badgering the director (who was also the writer) about when he's penning his next short.
