That's one of the reasons I like working with these guys. One day I just sent out a text that said something like "Hey you guys want to help with a movie?" and they seemed interested. Wizards of the Coast: Can you introduce us to who's who in the video (although you've already stated you won't reveal if the lead singer is a wizard, archer, or ranger)? How did you assemble them as a partyas actors you knew, or as friends (and if so, how did you rope them into the project)?Ĭonnor Anderson: All the actors are my friends. I was trying to do something with my character that was a little out of the ordinary, so Zac Smith (The Wizard, and the guy who helped me write the lyrics) told me to just "Roll a D6." The second he said that I started singing the G6 song in my head with the Roll a D6 in its place, and I thought it was a pretty funny idea. Wizards of the Coast: How did Roll a d6 come aboutwhat was the inspiration behind the project?Ĭonnor Anderson: Roll a D6 came about while, actually, in the middle of a game of D&D.
We've gone to a bunch of film festivals together, and we seriously enjoy filmmaking. My best friend Aaron Mull (the Dwarf) and I have been making films together since freshman year in high school. Wizards of the Coast: So, can you tell us about Broken Record Filmshow long have you been creating short films?Ĭonnor Anderson: Broken Record Films has been "in business" so to speak since August of 2009, but we have been making films for long before that. We spoke with creator Connor Anderson, of Broken Records Films, about his video. In five days, they've amassed half a million views, and a mention on CBS News (as well as just about everywhere else throughout the blogosphere). If you haven't seen the Roll a D6 video by now, you're one of the few.
