Acting choices

This is not animation, but watching it reminds me of watching animator dialog tests.

Interesting.

Perhaps mostly because I've been thinking a lot about one and two person dialogue in animation recently.

 

Monologues such as these are particularly interesting because as a member of the audience we can start to wonder what is going on and get hooked into wanting to know the rest of the story; "What is this guy trying to say to me?"

 

I suppose in this case it's mostly an acting demonstration.

Very clever. I loved this. I need me some acting lessons. I only know one way to interpret written dialog - Ramped & amped! Ok. That's two.

I have mixed feelings about it but it's amusing.

 

I'm reminded of a time Gene Shalit was interviewing Richard Burton on the Today show and said "I bet you could be dramatic just reading the phone book." and then he handed him a phone book, Burton opened it to a random page and started reading names... and he was indeed dramatic.

apparently they (Joe Plummer) intend to post 1/week...until Yelp shuts them down. 75,000 views in 2 days.

This reminds me a little of Steve Allen's old schtick of reading the lyrics to rock & roll songs like "Be Bop a Lula" as if they were dramatic poetry. :-)
