Intro Music is La Traviata Libiamo, purchased royalty-free from Stock Music, and Rick only lasts nine seconds, which should fall within fair use. Ask Girl Talk about that.

Production Details. Shot on a Canon 5D Mk2, with a seamless backdrop, and two 300w neutral lights - one in a soft box. Edited in After Effects CS4 and iMovie '09. Kate made the characters from blu-tack of different colors, & other types of art supply store clay.
