Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and anything in between, we at Stuffed Duck Productions are pleased to announce the arrival of our earliest available film recording. A film that was made in 1998 during Jared & Forbes' final year at high school (particularly the final week).
This film was originally intended to be a comedy sketch show (think shows like "Not the 9 O'Clock News", "Alas Smith & Jones", "Hale & Pace" or even "Harry Enfield & Chums". It was written sometime in the middle of 1998, possibly August/September, and the filming took place in December. The end result, however, was not exactly what was written on paper. Only 2 sketches were filmed (one of which was deleted as it turned out to be crap), before the rest of the film went in a completely different direction altogether...especially when the duo were joined by their mutual friend, Warren Constable-Brown.
In 2008, Jared & Forbes decided to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the video by taking the best audio bits from the video and created an album version. A soundtrack, if you will. Included on this album was a commentary of the video where the duo sat and watched the video while recording themselves.
For a long time as the duo made their online presence known from 2007 onwards, this project had been mentioned many times, but due to a lack of required technology, they weren't able to produce proof that this ever existed. The soundtrack was one thing, but actual visual proof was needed. They didn't have this...until the 2014 teaser trailer...
The final 2014 version of this video runs for 41 minutes. It is mostly left as it was on the videotape, but only a few changes have been made. The outtakes are available separately. A commentary version is also available, and uses the forementioned audio track from the album/soundtrack from 2008.
Today, nearly 16 years later, the final product is here! So without any further delay, we bring you...
