MFT3K Photos #4: Filming Episode 1 Deep 13b Segments
This is the fourth set of production photos, taken on September 3rd, 2000. We filmed all of the segments involving the Mads (Deep13b and show intro footage) on Labor Day weekend. Here are more photos of the proceedings...

Relaxing on the set between takes... Okay, so that's the same as saying sitting around in our garage, but it sounds classier.

Dr. F and Frank gesticulate wildly about random things.
What our tiny little storage unit (6' x 10') looks like, after we've crammed both the SOL and D13b set into it!
Don't ask me... I don't know.
