Something strange happens to me when I hear Katy Perry. I can't help but dance. I can't help but love her catchy shallow pop tunes, they just get my heart rate up a few notches. I just didn't realize that it had the same effect on Ryan and Jake.

What we can't accomplish with natural talent we make up for with good intentions and embarrassing efforts. The later of which makes for much more interesting blog posts.

Trashketball is a national pastime here at the Maven office. In this rare video appearance Jake attempts one the greatest levels of difficulty known to the Trashketball community..the double bank shot! She is a fickle lady. Many men have lost their fortunes on her charms and promises of Trashketball infamy. Can Jake be the first to overcome certain ridicule and tame this elusive minx?

Thanks to recent graduates Jake & Drew we had the opportunity to use Full Sail University's Green Screen Room (that was actually Blue). We did some test video shots for an upcoming interactive piece on Kyle Korver's website. The process was a blast and we're looking forward to playing with some of the amazing HD footage. Stay tuned for the final product.
