Anyone else having a hard time getting Billy Crystal's City Slickers version of Rawhide out of their head? No? Me neither. Anyway, here's a little nugget Kathy put together (with the help of our 7 year old) for a laugh if you need one today.

that’s so cute! you have a lovely family even if some of them are unimpressed from time to time ❤️

Jordi S

A laugh is welcome Every day! Thank you 😄

Karen & Lauren

I love the rainbow arc he made with the camera

Mikki Fullerton

Thanks for the extra footage William, so glad you're old enough to help out now! ❤️

Tigsa

Charming! 💕 Love the panning back and forth. 😂 Seriously, can't believe Kathy can hand-hold the camera that whole time!

Lois McCray

The Tommy nose shot 😂😂

Nadine Manger

You overtaxed the audio capacities on your son‘s camera with your bass 🤣 Love his first stunt as production assistant and hope to see more of that in the future! 💞

Tema Krempley

This might be the best BTS ever! William just melted my heart!

Sue Armstrong

William's footage is the best! Good job!

Dominique

Very entertaining! William did a great job 👏 The puppy is so relaxed because he knows he is save with you and loved by you! I could almost feel puppy’s cold, wet nose ☺️ Thank you for sharing 🤗

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

Perfect timing! 🥰 I’m at mom’s place and we could watch it together. We really enjoyed William’s part. ❤️

Tine

That is amazing. That makes me incredibly happy, I have tears of joy in my eyes, that was so beautiful! The future camera operator and BTS videos is certain! That was so lovely and adorable, thanks so much for sharing that. I really appreciate that. Also for Rawhide. Very zoommeeting type attire LOL, that made me laugh.

Barbara Binney

Welcome to the family business, William. I love the extra BTS footage and commentary you provided. To answer your question, Goeff, I actually can't get the Blues Brothers' version of Rawhide out of my head. So thanks for that.

Amanda Nott

This is precious! Love it!

Amanda Hovendon

This is probably my favorite BTS. And I must say that William did a pretty good job with some of the filming despite the audio distortion and the “bouncing” bit between mom and dad was pretty funny 😆.

Ashley Evers

Yay for William the unpaid intern 🤣 He already knows the kind of puppy content we all really want 🤣

Annett Günther

Danke dafür! William eifert offensichtlich seiner Mama nach. Die Arbeit hinter der Kamera macht er schon ganz gut!

Leonie Frenkert-Ghazi

Hi William, Dad recently said that you are always interested in how things work! You did a great job on your first BTS! Mom will definitely be able to give you lots of good tips! Keep up the good work as part of Team Castellucci! And never never forget to film Tommy too, all the fans love Tommy! 😉

Sarah Borzelli

Future camera operator and commentator William! I'm loving the Tommy nose shot and also all the hanging pans! Thanks for sharing a glimpse behind the scenes!

Angie Woollard

Just when I thought my heart couldn't get any warmer and fuzzier. Wow. So much goodness here. I loved watching William watch Dad singing Rawhide - he was so still and focused. I loved the kid camera/distortion footage of Rainbow Connection - it has an old timey home movie kind of feel. Also, I don't know if this was an intentional choice on William's part, or just a great happy coincidence, but filming Mom and Dad making a video about Rainbow Connection **while moving the camera back and forth in a rainbow** - I mean, c'mon. That's absolutely brilliant. This was amazing, William, and I hope you keep shooting more BTS!

Tara Congo

Thank you so much for sharing this - brought such light to my morning! William is a little pro already 🥰

Patricia Schuman

Best BTS EVAH!!! The sound distortion from William's camera brought to mind how the 'Slughorn's tampered-with memory' sounded like in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Jessica Lord

I absolutely needed this (and the VP BTS) today! Thank you for sharing all of this with us!

Jennifer J C

Absolutely wonderful ... thank you 😊

Cloudy Skies

This is wonderful! I laughed and I cried. Plus, now when I watch the Rawhide mini, I will remember the shorts and bare feet.

Lexy Wolfe (aka Pam)

It is so amazing to see the kiddo involved. He did an awesome job. Loved how he filmed both Mom and Dad. Because they're both important. Pupper is a sweetheart, too.

Heather W

Yay!! Thank you for the BTS. That was great. I love how Tommy is sooo not impressed. 😆 First thing I thought of was the City Slickers version. I couldn't get it out of my head either. I sang it to my family though, that may have been a bridge to far. 🤣

Kristin Taggart

Aawww, such an awesome little helper! Although, for the record, I wasn't thinking of Billy Crystal's version of Rawhide--I was thinking of the Blues Brothers. I would have cackled if you'd gotten Layne to stand next to you in sunglasses with his arms crossed and a deadpan expression!

Amelia

Lol, the kid is gonna be a master film maker. He already understands the value of an extreeeeeeme pupper close up. Cute!

Melissa Elliott

This was an amazing BTS. I'd love to see more of William's work in the future!

Scott Pearce

Tommy didnt look to be much help with the recording process, he must have been there for moral support

J.L.

Exactly what I figure with his camera movement -- he drew that rainbow connection! So sweet! Repeatedly, so I don't think it was a mistake either. 😊 🌈

Deborah Krach

Such a sweet family project. I bet you are so proud of William and of course Kathy.

Karin Wolf

That boy got rhythm too!! No surprise there...🤗

Sheila Stephens

I’m a huge fan of giving cameras to kids. They get angles adults don’t see, and you can tell who they love. 💕

Debs Badger

Me too! Blues Brothers version all the way.

Marie DesJardin

Laughing so hard! William's panning made me slightly seasick-- well done! And the extended closeup of Tommy's nose was something only William could have provided. Just loved this BTS to bits. I'm keen to see how William's contributions develop. Cheers, y'all!

Ilona Dever

Wait, there's a Blues Brothers version? And City Slickers? Huh. I like the version that showed me the young Clint Eastwood/Rowdy Yates. Almost as much as I love the Geoff version!

Jeanette Pencz

Best BTS ever 😁🥰 Great Family project. William is such a smart sweet boy and a great assistant 👍 I love Tommy‘s nose - boop 🐶

Loves to Dive

William must have been paying attention to Layne during visits to the set. I was thinking of a young Clink Eastwood myself.

Cécile Roussey

Oh my God ! It was fun and so cool! ^^ Thanks Geoff for sharing and thanks to Kathy and William... I love you all! And this video made me feel better and a smile that doesn’t leave me... And William filming you and Kathy. I love it... Thank you William! ;-) And then the dog filmed by William... too cute...! I gave him a computer kiss and caresses... (imagine me to kiss and caress the screen lol) even if I am afraid of dogs, of all animals being zoophobic since my birth, it really bothers me because I love animals... so, go find out why I’m afraid! Pffff!! :'-( even if I am afraid of dogs, I would love to caress Tommy who is too cute and full of love... so affectionate... I love you all in your family... You Geoff of course, Kathy, William and Tommy your dog... and it drives me crazy to see you together as a family... This is so great! ^^ You’re a loving family, and I love it! ^^ :-D

Katherine Powell

Oh my gosh, this is so wonderful! I love that William wanted to contribute to the bts as well. Y'all are such a lovely family.

Shirley B Karr

Love the "rainbow connection" William was making between mom and dad. And your budding film maker already understands the importance of including the pup! No, I haven't heard Billy's version of Rawhide in years. When I think of City Slickers, I remember Billy asking Jack Palance's character if he's killed anyone today. "Day ain't over yet," Curly growls in reply. When I think of Rawhide, I picture 30-something Clint Eastwood, before he got the Dirty Harry/spaghetti westerns squint.

Sandy Nickell

Love that the WHOLE family was included!💜😃💜

Jacky Friedman

Blues Brothers came into my head for Rawhide. The scene when they were in the country bar.

Jacky Friedman

That was awesome. Thank you. Best part was William's bts video. Following in Mom's footsteps. Love how he moved the camera with the singing. I had a big grin while he was doing that. And then the commentary. Finally got to see Tommy awake. Except when Geoff was walking him. Awesome job William. And I don't care about the distortion. Just made all the better. Kinda reminded me of the old movie cameras.

Jacky Friedman

Me as well. That's the only version I've seen and heard.

Jamie T.

This just made my whole day! Loved how Geoff put both William and Tommy to sleep during Rawhide. I sure wish my voice would do that with my son and two cats. I could use the peace and quiet occasionally.🤣🤣🤣

Jacky Friedman

I think William should do all the bts videos from now on with both Geoff and Voiceplay.

Sarah Reach

I absolutely love William's BTS. It definitely brings me back to when I was his age or a little older, and all the home videos my family made on our VHS Camcorder. The technology has improved a bit since then, but the kid perspective is about the same.

Filiz E

This one truly made me smile, which I needed a lot today.. Thank you all!! Such a lovely family.

Lynda Rood

Thank you so much for doing this. I absolutely love it. William is so special, he added joy to this. He is learning a lot from you and Kathy, that is terrific.

Marie Galaxy

I love to laugh every day so this was perfect. Thanks to all of you! 😹💜💚

DnD Addict

That genuinely made me smile so much. Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us

KorKnot

Thank you to all. :-D

DocSavage

Just wanted to “boop” the dog’s nose! So sweet. Thanks for pulling the curtain back so we could glimpse behind the scenes. You’re a very special family.

ObscureReferenceWoman

The cure for a rough day. But It wasn't the City Slickers version going through my head - I'm a Blues Brothers fan!! Hey, maybe that's something you and Layne could work on?

Lady Payne

That was adorable. <3

Brontesaurus Rex

Film ready waist up, "we may actually be standing on the sun" waist down, love it

Eileen Parkman

This brought me so much joy after a very, very difficult day. Thank you so very much! <3

Crisstina Joubert

Awwww, thank you, it was awesome seeing a full family production, and Willam did a really good job too, as did Tommy Moose!! What a great start to the Summer!❤️❤️‍🔥🐶🤠❤️

Beth Walsh

Not Billy Crystal but the Blues Brothers version has been rattling around lately. Loved seeing more of Tommy!

Patricia Schuman

Snorin’, snorin’, snorin’ Tommy finds this borin’ While layin’ on the floorin’ beside His master may be singing, And Tommy may be clinging But that don’t mean he is awake The music may be rollin’ But Tommy is ignorin’ I don’t think that snorin’ is fake But he’ll try to keep that nose up Be ready for his ‘close up’ When William comes in for his take Keep snorin’, snorin’, snorin’

Cat

My mind is stuck at the Blues Brothers' version. I think I never heard the City Slickers' one.

Karen Z

Kid's learning curves can be such fun, thank you for sharing!

Mary Benno

Way to go, William. I like how you played "pong" video between mom and dad. Great commentary with Tommy. A video Grapher in the making.

Mia

That was adorable. I fortunately only know the Geoff version of Rawhide and thank my lucky stars, I guess. Not really surprised that you practically blew out the phone's audio 😇

Gretchen G

Aww, that was great. So much adorableness. ☺️ 🌈

Lynn M

That was so adorable how you and Kathy involved William in the minis shoots. Thanks much.

Rachel Dempsey

Damn straight get the kid on an unpaid summer internship 😂 get Tommy in on the work too (I can see him dressed up as a horse for the next western themed song 🐶🐴🤠) make it a true family production company 😂. All jokes aside bless William is so cute and the Junior PA has clearly picked up a lot watching Geoff and Kathy (and the whole VP fam work). It’s also so sweet that he panned between mum and dad when filming as he’s obviously realised that it’s team work not just “Dad’s show”. I can’t believe how big he’s getting. I’m still picturing Daddy Sang Bass. 🥰

Jacky Friedman

Who else sang this while reading it 😸. Love it Patricia 😁

Jacky Friedman

Yep. On the old Western show Rawhide. Thanks Ilona for reminding me about that. One of the greats back then.

Lady Payne

He's gonna be a tall guy, just like his Dad.

Lady Payne

Yep - I sang it in my head.....

SunnyOutlook

This is so, so cool! Thank you so much for sharing William's work.

Cécile Roussey

Geoff, I wish you a very happy Father’s Day! ^^

HGeek

William's take on the video shoot was really interesting - the camera practically just kept bouncing between Geoff and Kathy, it was really adorable William - awesome work, way to go!
