Cutting-edge technology is always a marvelous thing to behold, but it's even more amazing to see what humans do when handed these ingenious devices. Kind of like the monkeys in 2001: A Space Odyssey, when they first grasped the concept of a tool and immediately used it as a weapon to crack skulls and bash brains. In a more modern example, humanity witnessed the birth of the Internet—an inexplicable invention rivaled only by the miracle of magnets—bestowing people with the ability to connect from all corners of the world, share information and news in an instantaneous manner, and spread every conceivable form of pornography in ways no windowless, cinderblock storefront could have ever hoped to accomplish in a million-billion years.
Long post short, our friend Shad*, who has worked as a production assistant on a number of our projects in the past, recently came up with an idea all his own and took time off from working out his glamour muscles to team up with another friend of ours, Tom Heigl, who is a tech savant when it comes to working with the high-speed Phantom Flex camera (though he did once miss an extremely crucial money shot during the production of jackass 3D...). The result of this star-crossed union was nothing short of... well, hell. Let's just say it's exactly what we would expect from Shad.
* Only recently did I discover that Shad has an entrepreneurial spirit that is almost as unbridled as the two tattooed stallions bookending his abdominals. In addition to his dream of becoming an overnight viral sensation, he is relentlessly placing bets by cyber squatting on a number of domains and Instagram handles in hopes that one if not all will be future cash cows ripe for slaughter. Dream big!
