Johnny Knoxville: Difference between revisions

During the summer, PJ became aware that Karl had a videocamera (as he was taping some of the weezer shows), and asked Karl to assist in a video he wanted to shoot. Levi jeans was running a promotion for their Button-Fly 501 jeans, where people could sent in their video ads for the jeans. The winner's ad would be broadcast at some point, and there may have been prize money involved, but the details are lost to time. PJ was an aspiring actor in the brutal Hollywood film and TV scene, and was always looking for a break. PJ cast himself as "Blue", a little league umpire (something he actually did do at the time), and was effectively the director, calling out what should happen in the shots, and Karl was the cinematographer, as well as appearing in the video as an interviewer character. Also appearing in the video were PJ's then girlfriend Deb, [[Jack Polick]] (later a occasional Jackass participant), and another friend named Simpy. The video was edited using 2 VCR's and suffers from the extremely low quality equipment that was at hand, disallowing clean edits and any pro sheen. The video was sent to Levi's but nothing came of it.
