This was actually shot a few weeks ago, but I didn't get around to editing it until tonight. Like "I'm Batman, bitch!", this is another short little tribute video, this time to Scooby-Doo. vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=34175275Starring: Heath Stewart as Scooby-Doo Andrew Crandall as Shaggy Sierra Hearn as Daphne J-Huff as Fred Chris Downs as Velma and Stacy Bagwell as the Creeper |

Just so you know, that's still the link to Batman.
Anyway - BRILLIANT video. Short, inspired, funny and stupid, an excellent riff on the Scooby Doo into from the 60s (that's what it was supposed to be, right?) And I actually "LOL'd" at the unmasking of the villain. Good job, Benjamin! Man, I would LOVE to hang out with you crazy kids.
Another thing, the opening shot of "The Creeper" is actually pretty scary. Seriously.

Fun stuff. If only I'd had a camera back in the day. My friends and I had to settle for making spoofs of talk radio shows on a handheld tape recorder. I wish I still had those tapes. Gotta love Scooby stopping to mark his territory, but it seems to me that the video cuts off too soon. More Popeye, dammit!

On the subject of Popeye - cast your mind back - do you ever remember Bluto being called Brutus? Because apparantly in a lot of cartoons for a good number of years he was. News to me.

Thanks for the kind feedback, y'all. Just so you know, that's still the link to Batman. Ack! Sometimes even I need sleep, apparently. Gotta love Scooby stopping to mark his territory, but it seems to me that the video cuts off too soon. More Popeye, dammit! Yeah, it did - the battery on my camera died. We had hoped to cut through a whole series of unmaskings with different people sitting there in Stacy's getup having "masks" pulled away to reveal different faces, but we only got the initial Popeye one done. Thankfully, Crandall had improvised some of his Popeye voice just before the battery died and I was able to squeeze that audio in there at the end. On the subject of Popeye - cast your mind back - do you ever remember Bluto being called Brutus? Because apparantly in a lot of cartoons for a good number of years he was. News to me. I don't recall that at all... and I did used to stay up late at night on weekends and watch the shorts on Cartoon Network as a kid. *sigh* Reminiscing about the good ol' days when Cartoon Network played both good classic cartoons and creative originals; this was the '90s. Nowadays the only good stuff that comes out of that channel is [adult swim] at nighttime, and all of the great classics have been moved to Boomerang. Do they have Boomerang over there in the UK? |
