Made in the USA: Alden Shoe Company video tour
October 23rd, 2009 admin
To celebrate the launch of their limited-edition Brixton Boot by Alden, Core77 friends Epaulet visited the Alden Shoe Company in Middleborough, Massachusetts, and shot a 12 minute video documenting the entire shoe crafting process. Founded in 1884, Alden is considered by many to be the best shoe manufacture in the US–and to this day–you can still send your shoes back to the factory for resoling. One of their loyal customers includes Indiana Jones who wears Alden 405’s, more commonly known as the “the Indy Boot.” When Harrison Ford landed the role, he refused to wear anything else and wore his own personal pair of 405’s from when he was a carpenter.

(stop-motion music vi...Now Watch T-SHIRT WAR 2 (a made-for-TV commercial for McD's and Coke): www.youtube.com GET this SONG on our 27-song CD (it has vocals): rhettandlink.com or on iTunes: bit.ly or on Amazon: bit.ly Thanks to Rush T-shirts for printing all of the shirts. They came out amazing! They print faster than anybody out there: rushtshirts.com Directed and Edited by Joe Penna youtube.com Animation and Sound by Billy Reid: youtube.com Watch Billy's Behind-The-Scenes Video: www.youtube.com TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR GEEKS LIKE US: We changed shirts over 100 times each, taking individual pictures of each unique shirt. The designs on the shirts are not photoshopped. They are real shirts for each frame of animation. The video was exported at 30fps, while the T-shirt animation moves at 6fps (with a few exceptions where it moves faster) So, for each shirt, we took 5 pictures, so the animation of us (Rhett&Link) moves at 30fps, but the T-shirt animations move a bit slower. There are a few places where the motion seems so smooth that it looks like video. That's because, in those parts, there was no changing in T-shirts, and Joe used burst mode to capture the frames, making it look very smooth. ------------------ Check out our other Youtube channel, where we upload random videos from our phones: youtube.com ------------------- FOLLOW us on TWITTER!
