My pal Mike Upchurch is back with another short film. This time, he's added comic Chris Fairbanks to the movie Cocktail.
I helped out on this one just a little bit, with some advice and notes, and a little bit of animation. The final effect in this video may not be seamless, but knowing how exactly Mike put it together, it's amazing.
The best thing I can say about it? I've seen it at least half a dozen times (occasionally with live audiences) and it truly doesn't feel eleven minutes long.
