Casper Kelly (creator):I knew Adult Swim had that 4 a.m. slot where they were doing weird experimental stuff, and I guess I saw an old sitcom with people smiling and looking at the camera in the opening. Something gave me a funny feeling looking at that, and I had the idea of continuing it for an uncomfortably long time. Matt Foster (crew): I was w...
Casper Kelly:I said to Mike, “I’m not sure how long that will work.” He said, “I don’t know either; you should have some other stuff ready.” I just wrote everything I could think of and things started developing in real ways. I started forming a narrative. Not much dialogue, but I wrote the ideas out. Paul Painter: Basically, Casper had an idea, an...
Casper Kelly:We didn’t have a ton of money, so we used extras for casting. Usually, with extras, you just go off a photo, but I actually did want to see how they’d look when they did their action. I had them audition a little bit. Nice thing about that is going off the immediate look: That looks like the smart daughter. That looks like the crazy da...
Shane Morton (practical effects): Casper and I had been working on Your Pretty Face. We became friends and talked about movies a lot. He started talking about this project, this crazy thing he’d been working on for a while called Too Many Cooks. He needed some reptilian aliens. Of course, there was no budget. He had some ideas. He had this Smarf th...
Casper Kelly: The music was a hard process. We had a bunch of sample tracks that I liked. I think one I really liked was The Facts of Life because it has a real happy theme. Also, the Golden Girls theme. I did a lot with the first composer, Michael Kohler. Then we tried to do the genre shift, and he couldn’t do it. We went to another composer, Shaw...
Casper Kelly:We shot on some set with extra materials over two or three days, and then a day of pickups — like the tennis court or the woman we shot through the door. But most of it was in just a few days. I was animated by fear of not doing enough. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough. Even while shooting, I would add ideas. It was a rare moment...
Matt Foster:I think the hardest shot to capture was the camera spinning in the middle of the kitchen table. That was unpractical. Behind the camera, two people are changing out in chairs. That included people in costumes and a puppet. We had about six takes. And there was basically something busted in five of them — but we got one to work. Casper K...
William Tokarsky:When I crawl out from under the bed and go to kill the girl in the closet, I actually scared her. We joke about it now, but she was actually intimidated. That was fear on her face. Katie Adkins:Oh yeah, he did. I didn’t get a chance to get to know or talk to him before filming. And seeing him out of my peripheral slowly coming at m...
Casper Kelly:We were gonna have this thing, it’s hard to explain, where we showed a different view of reality where everyone is still but they’re moved by these lizard people that we can’t see. Like, when you move your hand up to wave, you’re a puppet where a lizard moves your hand. But we decided that was too much. Matt Foster: We were gonna have ...
Casper Kelly:It took a very long time to edit, far more than I expected. We didn’t do it full-time, but we spent a year off and on working on it. My feeling was, “I love it, but I don’t know if anyone else will like it.” I probably could have done a movie in that time. So career-wise, I wasn’t sure. Paul Painter:It was like crafting a fine ale and ...
