Lords of the Trampoline was my third film project, back in April of 2004 when I decided to just let my camcorder run for an hour while Arthur, Chris, Julian, and sometimes Sam were playing dodgeball and other things on the trampoline, and later edit it into some kind of music video. Originally I didn't have any particular song in mind, but when Chris started intoning the "One ball to rule them all" then the Lords of the Rhymes -- http://lordsoftherhymes.com/ -- became the obvious choice. For me it's a wonderul window back to a joyful afternoon five and a half years ago when Arthur and Julian were definitely much shorter, and when I could see Sam basically every single day instead of just during college breaks!

BTW, a slightly-shorter version with the four-letter words bleeped out (courtesy of yelled "BLEEP!"s by Arthur) -- see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkcIqQUM7tc -- was our entry for Follywood (see http://www.youtube.com/user/AFEFollywood ) 2004.
