Hey everyone! I thought that you might enjoy this video from Wednesday's Mind of Mencia. It's Carlos' take on what you might need to do in regards to the current state of the real estate market.

Who knows, this might help you get a great deal on a house...

This is the video from last night's show that features the NEW cartoons of my childhood stories (The Adventures of Carlitos). Like I said on the show, my mom, Consuelo, actually played the part of my mom in this one. It's great to have my real mom get to be on the show, along with my brother Joseph. It's a family thing and I think it's very cool.

Cristela had done the voice originally when we taped, but in the end we decided that we wanted the very authentic accent that my mom has (no offense Cristela) to offer. I'm glad we did because let's face it, no one can do it better than the original.

Here you go guys! The latest installment of "The Adventures of Carlitos".

This is Cristela, the warm-up comedian and former writer for Mind of Mencia.  I had mentioned earlier in this blog that I would be around to let you in on the happenings of the show.  So here I am doing just that.  I'm including a video from the first taping of the season.  I can explain what's happening because, although you can't hear me, I'm there in the audience.

This is a break between segments, right after the Mencia's monologue.  It's at this point that people check to see if they need to pick-up (that means re-shooting) anything in the monologue.  A lot of times, make-up guru James and Mencia's wife, Amy, come out to make sure that he looks ok.  It's at this time that I usually make comments to the audience to tell them what's going on and a lot of times...Mencia wants to put in his two cents.  He LOVES to put in his two cents.

OTHER JOBS THEY SHOULDN'T DO:

Most of you probably saw  the episode where Carlos talked about the job him and his friends shouldn't have. While what  made the show was funny...there were many other jobs that these guys should never do that just didn't make the cut.

JOSH

Police Sketch artist.
Sandwich Artist
Brain Surgeon
Acupuncturist

Chess Champion

BRAD

Sumo Wrestler
UPS Delivery guy.

JOSEPH

English Professor

Behind the Mind: The Making of Beaner Man

Now that you've seen Beaner Man, I thought I would introduce you to the two visual effects artist who brought the Superhero to life; Eric McGilloway, and Eric Silva. They both joined the show second season, and since then they have created many of the amazing effects on the show.

                        Eric  McGilloway  ->

Q: So how did you think Beaner Man turned out?

EM: Awesome. I haven't really been able to enjoy it yet. I was tweaking it up until Friday night. We even shot the pregnant scene the day of the show.  But everyone on the staff seemed really pleased, and the audience went nuts when we played it live in the studio. People come up to me, and tell me how impressive it is. I always say, "I'm impressed too. I'm impressed that we got it done in our time frame.                                        

Q: You didn't have a lot of time?                                                   Eric Silva ->

EM: Look, it's TV. It's very fast paced. The whole project took about three weeks and that's from shooting to air. That's fast - maybe not for five people...but for two?!

ES: Plus we were working on other stuff as well. Preacher Carlos...

EM: "Jobs They Shouldn't do."

ES: Performing with my band, Capulet. By the way check out Capuletmusic.com.

Q: What amazes me, is you guys are always here late with me, yet you never hear about any blow ups? Down in the writers area it's always noisey, but here, quiet. How do you make it look so smooth?

EM: We have our moments - but otherwise. I don't know. We just work well together.

Q: Back to Beaner Man, how do you approach a project like this?

EM: The script was hilarious, and we just wanted to make sure we honored the scope of the project. We wanted it to have that summer blockbuster super hero feel, but at the same time be funny. It can't just look real, and cool...it has to make you laugh. After all it's a comedy show.

ES: 80% of Beaner Man was shot on Green Screen. Except for the fight sequence with Mario Lopez, and the children in the classroom - everything was a visual effect. The pictures will give you example of how it comes together.

EM:We would shoot Ned acting in a solid green room, and then digitally insert the backgrounds, and visual effects on the computer. (such as the Salsa flying out of his suit photo down below)

Q: Is it hard to make everything match?

EM: Surprisingly no. It takes work to make it look awesome, but matching it is never a problem here. The reason, Carlos Mencia's performance. His technical awareness and his body placement is impecible.

ES: I think him being an engineer major has something to do with that.

EM: When it's already a funny performance - it makes everything much easier.

Q: Any final thoughts?

EM: I just think it's worth mentioning, that the Mind of Mencia is a very visual effects heavy show. Which, I think, makes the show one of the most cuttting edge comedy TV shows out there. Very few other, non Network Action shows, do what we do on the Mind of Mencia. 

ES: We're breaking new ground.

If anyone out there has any questions for the visual effects guys, post them and I'll make sure they're answered.

Carlita - Man Search

Listen up stupids - I'm looking for a man! I'm a 35 year old Latina who's never been pregnant...which I think is a Guiness Book world record. Just because I'm desperate doesn't mean I settle for just any man with a six pack, nice chest, and strong hands. I'm picky.  I want a man with a six pack, nice chest, strong hands...who also has a freaking job! You know, someone with a six pack, who can buy his own sick pack. I want to have a baby...not marry one. So far I've had no luck. That's why I decided try the Mind of Mencia blog, to see if any Carlos fans had what I'm looking for.  I've tried everything else out there, why not using bloggin to find a man.  So men, if you think you got what it takes to rock my world - let me know by posting a comment. And ladies, if you have any advice or stories you'd like to share, send them my way. To everyone else...don't judge.
