Each video is at 640x480, over 1.75x the previously available resolution of the movie and 4x the previously available resolution of the deleted scenes. The movie has also been color-corrected, making this the best copy of Everybody Hates César available.

Eric's In Harm's Way Trailer is now online. In addition, all movie pages have been recoded so that Microsoft Internet Explorer users no longer have to manually allow the movies to play. As always, we recommend that those of you running Windows use the Mozilla Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer.

Hey Guys: The Constantism Generator, a collection of quotes from an unconventional computer teacher, is now online. Also, a few weeks ago, a slight redesign of the site was launched. In addition to being streamlined both visually and technically, the site is now XHTML-compliant.

Today at 7:56PM, Kyle posted the Funny Farm Forum’s 10,000th post. The post, posted in the thread for Compadee Compilations, details the future of the project. Kyle started the Forums on April 12, 2005. Since that time we have welcomed over twenty registered users and countless guests. There have been surprises, power struggles, sadness, upheavals, and, of course, comedy. Here’s to the next 10,000!

April 11, 2006

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the creation of the Funny Farm Forum. Over the past year the Forums have been a sounding board for the Funny Farm’s members. Activity on the Forums may have its ups and downs, but great topics like spelling mistakes always keep us coming back. Here’s looking forward to our 10,000 post and years of posting to come.

March 11, 2006

Today, March 11, 2006, marks the first birthday of FunnyFarmProductions.com. Throughout that time, we have grown immensely. The site design has gone through a few revisions, including one major overhaul. This past year has seen the end of one school year and the beginning of another, a continuous wave of new content, and the creation and release of our first film, Everybody Hates C?©sar. We’ve been through two schedule developments, taken part in St. Mary’s first online course, and experienced great loss. With our third year of high school slowly coming to an end, Funny Farm Productions continues on. However, we don’t forget our roots. Take a look through the past and see the site as it once was.

As we look fondly on the past, we also take pride in the present. Today, FFP won the County Competition for National History Day in the Group Documentary category, with our film Reaction and Regeneration: Prince Klemens Von Metternich. We will now move on to the State, and, if all goes well, the National Competition.

February 26, 2006

Our critically-acclaimed comedy Everybody Hates César is now available on DVD. Filled with special features, St. Mary’s High School students may request a copy here. If you are not a student there, please use our Contact Us page.

February 14, 2006

Information on the Compadee Compilations project is now online. The album is expected to be posted online under Jokes and to be available for download upon its completion. Coming soon is a section on the world’s hatred of Kyle, along with an updated version of FFP: Comedy.

FFP now owns waldosfunfactory.com. For now it just points to the main site, but the future is a whole world of possibilities.

January 15, 2006

Kyle’s Bio is now online. Also, our news system has been changed once again, and the front page is noticeably different. The last five news stories are shown in their entirety in the left column while links to the last five blog entries, an About Us section, and a few Quick Navigation links make up the right column. The blog system is no longer used for new news stories, instead focusing on more personal interests of Funny Farm members. The blog can now be found at http://www.funnyfarmproductions.com/blog/.

January 9, 2006

The remake of the remake of Doom House has been indefinitely delayed–most likely cancelled.

January 7, 2006

The unfinished version of Everybody Hates César that was shown as the Junior Class video at Spirit Week 2005 can now be viewed online. The movies require QuickTime 7 because they were encoded using H.264. H.264 is a new video compression technology that creates high-quality video at small file sizes. Comparing H.264 to our old compression technique, the small version of Everybody Hates César was smaller by 2MB and the large version lost a whopping 20 MB.

January 1, 2006

All Movies are back online.

December 20, 2005

All movies except for FFP: Comedy and [adult swim] Parodies are currently offline due to a problem with our current movie host. Keep checking back for updates.

December 18, 2005

A new Bomb by Kyle is up. Also, Everybody Hates César has been officially greenlit, and production is slated to begin next week. Finally, at the top of this page you’ll notice a new graphical header to the news. Begun a few days ago, this section allows new site additions to be easily noticed and can promote of things like Forum threads that aren’t necessarily worthy of a news entry.

December 18, 2005

The site now has a revamped news system. Using the open-source WordPress blogging back-end, any member of FFP will be able to post site news, movie reviews, and daily happenings. This should give FFP new content more often. The entries are searchable and sortable by category and date by visiting the all-new News Archive.

December 7, 2005

Info on DOOM house is now online. The film is expected to premiere on Wednesday, December 14, at the school variety show. There have also been a few tweaks to the site. All bios now have links to that person’s Forum profile and to a list of their threads. The Movies page, among others, has also seen a few interface revisions. Finally, all HTML and CSS code now validates with the World Wide Web Consortium.

October 26, 2005

Everybody Hates C?©sar premiered on Wednesday, October 5th, to mixed reviews. The uncut version and the DVD are still in production. Preproduction for Saintfeld is ramping up, and the movie may see the light of day by the end of the year.

The Failed Attempts The Rising Sun and "Glass breaks so easily." and Fake Failed Attempts Safori and Chernobyl have been taken offline, pending revisions. There have also been a few behind-the-scenes tweaks. The code behind the logo and navigation system has been rewritten, resulting in a faster, cleaner, and leaner setup. Also, the area where your cursor must be in order for the subnavigation links to remain visible has been greatly enlarged.

August 18, 2005

We have our first ever Fake Failed Attempts, one by Gerald and one by Eric. A new Failed Attmept by Kyle is up. Our wallpapers are now available in two additional sizes: 800x600 and 1280x960. Also the Failed Attempt "Glass breaks so easily." by Julian now has a picture.

August 11, 2005

Two new Bombs are up, both coming from the Forums. One is by Kyle and the other is by Eric. Also, the tweaked version of FFP: Comedy is up. A few minor revisions and fixes ultimately resulted in a bonus: smaller file sizes. The small version dropped .9 MB to 4.8MB and the large version dropped .5 MB to 18 MB.

August 7, 2005

The Funny Farm mourns the passing of beloved art teacher Linda Messerschmid, called affectionately by her students "Ms. Mes." She provided many generations of St. Mary's Students with her 15 years of service to the school and helped them develop their latent art skills. Her witty sense of humor and her quality of absolute honesty defined her class, as well as her personality. Clever ideas and new groundbreaking assignments helped everyone to maximize their art skills, and gain a greater appreciation for the majestic world of art, and especially for truly talented artists such as M.C. Escher. Her art and mechanical drawing classes prepared her students for professional drawing and drafting, in a way that no other could replicate. Her massive experience and wisdom will be sorely missed. Her constant communication with her inner child proved to be a bonding point between students and teacher. With movies such as Shrek 2, Fantasia, and The Wizard of Oz, she constantly provided experiences for discussion, and reflection. She was a St. Mary's High School Institution, and her loss will be heavily felt by the members of the community. Although the incoming freshman will never experience her greatness firsthand, we as fortunate students will pass on her great wisdom and compassion. Ms. Mes, rest in peace.

Forever,

The Funny Farm

July 21, 2005

Two new Failed Attempts, both by Julian, are now up. Also, this Sunday look for our first Random Thing. It is on the right side of every page and changes weekly.

July 6, 2005

Welcome to the brand-new FunnyFarmProductions.com. After months of work, it is finally done. The new design is not only much cleaner and brighter, but it gives us room to grow. It is now much easier to add sections to the site. We have three new features: a Current Projects section, a Downloads section, and the Random Thing box on the right side of every page. It will be updated every week with something random, like a Forums quote or a funny image. To celebrate our new site, we made a Funny Farm Productions documentary-type thing, FFP: Comedy. The first new additions to the site will be two Failed Attempts from Julian, coming soon.

May 30, 2005

We now have pictures for Failed Attempts "It's a dirty story of a dirty man..." and The Darkness and the Light and Joke Nomen est Klep. Also, we are currently developing a possible new design for the site. It is cleaner, brighter, easier to use, and standards-based. View it, at its current state in development, here. We welcome your comments and suggestions in this thread.

May 24, 2005

A new Bomb by Charlie and Million Dollar Crybaby's picture are now up. We also have a desktop wallpaper available below. We are currently investigating possibilities in finding it a more permanent home here at FFP.

We have added a countdown timer to the end of school (June, 7, 2005 at 11:30 AM), visible above. Gerald's caricature is up in Bios along with a slight update to his Bio. The iTunes link to Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride on the Movies page has been fixed. Also, if you click on the Forums link to the left, you will be sent directly to the Funny Farm Forum. Finally, we have added FFP Navigation to the top of every forum page so you can easily travel between the two components of Funny Farm Productions' online presence.

May 10, 2005

We have added two new sections to Jokes: Bombs and Fake Failed Attempts. The new Million Dollar Crybaby is in Bombs, as well as former Failed Attempts All Our Yesterdays and Downtime. Also, email addresses around the site have been changed so they include the funnyfarmproductions.com name. Finally, check back soon for an update to the Forums: most people access the Forums directly so we will be putting FFP navigation on the Forums themselves, and then getting rid of the integrated option, as least until it can be perfected.

May 5, 2005

Another new Failed Attempt is up. You will also find links to software below the Contact Us info on the right of this page. QuickTime is required to view our Movies while the Firefox browser is recommended for optimal viewing experience on Windows.

Our long, confusing URL is now gone. Funny Farm Productions can be accessed at funnyfarmproductions.com and the Forums, if you don't want to use the integrated option, can be directly accessed at forums.funnyfarmproductions.com. We have these addresses for six months, at which point further action will be decided upon and you, of course, will be informed of any changes.

April 12, 2005

The Forums are now up, though the page may soon be modified for added convenience. Also, Julian's real caricature is online over in Bios.

April 7, 2005

Initiation now has a picture, Moose Evasion has an updated description, a slight modification has been made to the Lord of the Kleps page, and an Internet Explorer for Windows bug that caused the copyright notice at the bottom of every page to align to the left has been squashed. However, a bug in IE that causes the subheadings above each section (such as Navigation, News, and Current Projects) to be displayed incorrectly remains. Look for a page describing the differences among browsers, the News Archive, and a new Failed Attempt soon.

April 5, 2005

Moose Evasion has been posted at Movies and two new Failed Attempts are here. There are also fifteen updated Kleppisms, along with a link to submit your own. The picture for Belly Flop should be coming soon. Finally, an update to The Colonel was posted yesterday.
