The Raw Pineapple Trilogy
Ah yes, we can see that you're already suckered into watching all three because HEY! that's The Way of the pineapple. You should really start with The Making of The Raw Pineapple, then watch The Raw Pineapple and finally absorb Outtakes of The Raw Pineapple. That way The Way will be totally within you. It's the only pineapple thing you can do.
The Making of The Raw Pineapple

The two documentary cameras were Panasonic DVX-100's. The Designated Educator Camera was a Canon XL-1S. (The assumption is that anyone else doing an after school program will have only one camera - hence the DEC.) Lishka was miced using a Sony ECM-77 wireless with a WRT-28 transmitter (no longer available but there are newer kinds out there). A Sennheiser ME-80 shotgun mic (also not made anymore) and a Sound Devices 302 Mixer were also used. The students were filmed in front of a Chromaflex screen and a blue LiteRing was attached to the DEC (both from reflecmedia).
The Raw Pineapple
When the state of California breaks loose and floats into the islands of Hawaii and then they BOTH start heading towards the country of India - what do you think will happen? This film is filled with authentic surfer slang, triggerfish, some Hawaiian and New Zealand dialect and plenty of other silliness mixed with fact. (There really is a Mumbai International Film Festival for Short and Animated Films.)

Editing of The Raw Pineapple was done on Final Cut Pro 4. The two big chunks of music and some incidental music were provided by SmartSound's Sonicfire Pro and the other incidental music was composed using Soundtrack (which is a part of Final Cut Pro). The keying for the compositing was done using dvMatte Pro from dvGarage.
Outtakes of The Raw Pineapple
Griffin Lamachy claims he was working with very little sleep at the time we filmed his part in The Raw Pineapple. Apparently lack of sleep jump starts all his funny bones because once he started animating the pineapple we couldn’t stop laughing. We ended up re-filming his part but we still wanted to share the mirth. These outtakes are but a snippet of what he did that day.
