Hello out there!
Happy 2012 from Better Than The Machine! I’ve been trying to make post updates recently, but there are apparently some glitches with the website that I need to figure out and fix. I’ll try to get them taken care of as soon as possible. I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused. Please stay on the line, your call will be answered in the order in which it was received. Your business is important to us.
–Reid.
P.S. Someone will be with you soon, but it might not be me. On the other hand, it might be me.
P.P.S. Thank you for continuing to hold.
Oh no! How could I forget to publish this post? I won’t mention any names, but someone must’ve forgotten to remind me by ringing his bells and firing his musket wildly into the air while riding his horse past my room. Oh well, I suppose I can forgive him because Paul Revere: The Truth, produced by Green Shoe Animation and Better Than The Machine, has been featured on several websites. Here are just a few of them:
The only thing I didn’t get out of this project that I hoped we’d get were a bunch of crazy comments from those crazy Tea Party crusaders, and maybe even one from Sarah Palin herself. Oh well, maybe next year we’ll do something about the Boston Tea Party. Anyway, thanks to all the reviewers who so kindly reviewed Paul Revere! And, of course, to all the viewers who’ve viewed it! Now get out there and watch it again!
Hey, check out what happened like five months ago when you weren’t paying attention.
Our “Foreplay?” hit three million views on YouTube! Paul and Christina’s awkward intimate encounter has been watched more times than the total number of people that live in Iowa. Logically, this can mean only one thing: everyone in Iowa has given “Foreplay?” a shot… and loved it!
Hot to see “Foreplay?” No need to spoil the mood by going to YouTube; just turn down the lights and begin playing down below:
Happy Fourth of July! We’re proud to announce a brand new video just in time to celebrate Independence Day! In this animated adventure, we uncover the truth about an American legend: let’s just say that when the British were coming, Paul Revere was ready for more than an attack by land or by sea.
“Paul Revere: The Truth” was collaboratively produced by Better Than The Machine, our friends at Green Shoe Animation, and many great and patriotic friends who generously donated their expertise and time so the truth could be told!
After working on this project off and on for three years, we’re very proud to show it off, and we hope you enjoy it!
Reports that our private jet crashed in the snowy Andes and that we all died have been greatly exaggerated. While our private jet did crash in the Andes, we are all still alive. Well, except for Carlos, whom we had to eat to stay alive. We’re not proud of it, but hey, it happens.
Anyway, in honor of Valentine’s Day, here’re a whole mess of of lovely videos about love, lust, and being a real creep–you know, all that wonderful, wonderful, terrible romantic stuff.
