• Happy post-Thanksgiving, everyone! That turkey digest ok for ya? Hope so.

Kevin took a few moments to film a brand new introduction video today (which we suggest you watch first) as well as bring us TWO more of the brilliant “Train Wreck” shorts available at clerks2.com. By the way, has anyone noticed the cool new iPod Video version of all the mini-flicks so far? You lucky kids with your new iPod videos (or those soon under the tree) won’t have an excuse not to have anything on there. And our stuff’s FREE, unlike that evil iTunes store that sucks you in and has you spending oodles of cash when you see all the cool stuff THEY’VE got on board.

But we digress. After Kevin’s intro, delve into “She’s A Lady” to see the first appearance of Rosario Dawson in the series. In this clip, she chats it up with Kevin, revealing her View Askew fandom (cool!) and her feelings on coming into a shoot as the new kid on the block. You’ll also catch a few glimpses of some of the shooting at Mooby’s, mostly behind-the-scenes type stuff. For more on Rosario and “Rent”, check out this excellent New York Times article.

Technology geeks like us will really dig the final entry today, “Production Sound”. In this one, Whit Norris, Production sound mixer, gives an excellent explanation and demonstration of how he records and stores all of those wonderful sounds that you’ll hear when you peep Clerks 2 for the first time. Boom op Doug Cameron also makes an appearance. Watch it all the way through to learn what all those lights and bells on a movie set mean, too.

Enjoy your Black Friday weekend, and we’ll see you again soon. More big news is on the way!
