It's 3AM In A Warehouse (Compilation)

[@uhohspaghettios2391]

I always thought the warehouse bit was just that- a bit. Should've known Beardsley would never lie like that. 😂

[@mursuka80]

Yeah me too. I thought it was inside joke or something.

[@thejunkmommy]

​@@mursuka80 Yeah it's an inside joke. A joke inside a warehouse at 2am, in Fresno.

5 days of uncut lore vomit from brennan and then you having to act your character out and react to all this information brenna is raining down on y'all like a halestorm, you definitely need several cigs after, and prolly a couple of edibles.

[@meaghanjones6725]

Yup, lol. They talk a lot in the Adventuring Party episodes about how insane it was and how they were all losing it.

[@TenzinBeifongIII]

Hey girlie (grasping Beardsley hands)

[@flushmastercyclonis186]

I'm not sure how they managed to do it but I would be leaning on copious amounts of caffeine. Which means that, under ideal circumstances, I would be multitasking between being super dialed in and also distractible by everything present, having a blast, and by the end quite likely in a state that, aside from driving everyone around me insane, would give a court cause to declare me legally incompetent until I got about three days of uninterrupted rest and a checkup from a doctor. And that's the best case.

What I love about this (and Dropout as a company) is how it turned into a celebration of the efforts of those who would usually go unsung. Thank you, Ebony, for your support of this wonderful show.

actually true, and i really love the adventuring parties (normally at the end of the season) where all the crew gets put in a zoom call and they just talk about all the hard work they did. i'm sure literally no one else watches it besides me but i find it quite interesting and i always tune in after every season to see the behind the scenes shit, super cool.

[@someoneidk308]

Lol yall they had to film in a warehouse bc due to the marshal shutting them down they had to be on a real timecrunch to film. So they shot multiple episodes back-to-back in a very cold warehouse. They talk a lot about it during the adventuring party for ACOC. I remember Emily talking about how for one episode she made the mistake of putting on a t-shirt and they had to stop filming for a bit because her teeth chattered so loud the mics picked up on it.

See, I THOUGHT it was the truth, but then it became a bit in other campaigns and I convinced myself it must have been a bit originally as well

[@jmackmcneill]

I think a lot of people don't know the reality of how un-glamorous the nuts and bolts of film-making is. But it was obvious even if it had become a running joke that it was clearly referencing something that had really happened (like Brennan contradicting the TIME but not the LOCATION)

I always really appreciate hearing when Brennan remembers the *first and last names* of the his crew, and the people who have worked on certain things.

[@enx2083]

probably in a warehouse

[@maybefranky2582]

I’d thought that the rebuilt set was a result of the move to the warehouse, but judging by the opening shot they must have rebuilt it afterwards for unrelated reasons

[@captainswan618]

IIRC it had to do with Covid safety protocols - in The Seven, they were further apart, and it wouldn’t have fit in the dome. After that I think it was just more convenient to use the walls, especially since it allowed them to do projections.

Ok but WHY were they in a warehouse at 3am??? Like that’s peak “I feel like you’re going to murder me but I trust you as a friend” time, location, and energy.

[@kylebeardsley6200]

Warehouse was because that was the only place they could film and not get in trouble with the fire marshall, since they had to move the set on short notice. 3am was because they all had regular jobs that they couldn't stop doing for College Humor during the week, so they basically filmed late at night in order to get the shoot in on a tight schedule.

[@MorganBondelid]

also they tend to film D20 seasons in concentrated blocks of time (a weekend or a few consecutive days) probably both for continuity and keeping the players in the story as well as the ability to get all the people together because everyone has conflicting schedules
