Studio hijinx! What could be better? We can't think of anything, so here's plenty of examples of us goofing off and having a great time as we make our recordings. After watching a few of these clips, you'll no longer wonder why it takes forever for us to finish anything.

NOTE: For the entries that are available in Apple's Quicktime format, it really is worth your while to download the FREE Quicktime 7 Player if you don't already have it.

Making Life Like Luster

NEW! "The Making Of Life Like Luster - Part 2"
	At VERY LONG LAST, Part 2 of our, uh, "series" of web documentaries is here. Jedi Master Darin Di Pietro figures prominently in this newest chapter as we watch the members of Half Zaftig struggle to get their new album recorded. Also featuring even more excerpts of the new songs on the soundtrack. Two thumbs up and a wiggly pinky! Posted: 1/31/2007

"The Making Of Life Like Luster - Part 1"
	In the first of what should end up being several parts, the Half Zaftig kids and engineer/co-producer Darin Di Pietro finally offer a glimpse at what the upcoming debut HZ album, Life Like Luster, will sound like. Candid comments and unintentional hilarity are the rule of the day. You'll also get to hear excerpts of the new songs on the soundtrack. Fun for the whole family! Posted: 3/26/2006

"Lizzy Plays Along"
	Once you've got drum tones dialed in, you gotta give the poor drummer fella a headphone mix. Lizzy was throwing down some scratch bass tracks for Pete to play along with. Posted: March, 2005

Making The Retrograde EP

"Lizzy Gets A Mix"
	Lizzy was just about to track her final bass part for the "hidden track" on the EP ("Freedom" by King's X), and was working with Darin to get a comfortable mix to listen to. She didn't know that I was making a movie with the digital camera I took this with. Posted: March, 2005
