4 years, 10 months.
Dear Jack,
Last weekend Nonna and Papa visited us, as I finally was able to take Mommy to the Lady Antebellum/Hunter Hayes concert that I had bought tickets for on her birthday a month ago.
It wasn’t on my mind at all, but you asked me if we could do a new Jack-Man episode while Papa was in town.
So we did.
For months now, you and I have been scheming a Jack-Man plot in which you and I would swap roles:
You would become “Baby Green Meanie” and I would “Grown Up Jack-Man.”
I had been revising the script this whole time. Webisode 20, though it may not appear this way, it was actually one of the most complicated to webisodes we’ve ever filmed.
Perhaps that’s because we had to film it out of order to avoid so many costume changes.
But in the end, I’m very pleased with how it turned out and we had a lot of fun together making the project.
Webisode 20 premieres the concept of having background music during the monologues, instead of just the action and transition screens.
Here it is:
I’ve never mentioned this to you before, but back in college, I recorded 3 demo CDs. Since then, I’ve taken the musical breaks from those tracks to serve as the background music for my videos.
Speaking of music, “The Ole Switcheroo” features this new original song:
Panic Attack!
P-p-p-panic attack! P-p-p-panic attack!
I’m gonna give you a panic attack!
Have your chill pills ready
Keep your position steady
You’re running out of time
Running out of time
You’re getting tunnel vision
Here comes the big collision
Adrenaline freely flows
Freely flows
(note goes up, slower)
P-p-p-panic attack! P-p-p-panic attack!
I’m gonna give you…
You’re getting quite sleepy, so tired, light-headed
And coming up next, it looks like we may be buying a “new” old car…
Love,
Daddy
