Sound Wars
Yes. Also from the Looney Tunes sketch where the construction guy finds the singing frog in the cornerstone of a building that he is demolishing, and tries to make money from the fact that he has a singing frog.

"Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline.
"Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

Yes, but the Looney Tunes episode in question doesn't involve a chestburster exploding out of someone's gut. However, both involve hats and canes, and lots of dancing, so it seems appropriate that the idea of Andy's larvae should induce thoughts of Spaceballs in me.

I am sorry to steal you all away from the tittilating larvae conversation, but I wanted to say that I was really impressed with this video. It takes guts and skill to do a one take video, and it takes a lot MORE guts to film an entire video with no props. And even MORE to film a video with no speaking! It takes talented actors to hold that up, and Graham and Andy lived up to it! Congratulations on a mime well done.

Ah, but how many takes did it take to finally get that one take video?
And given that Andy's theater skills are so practiced and polished, I think Graham's accomplishment in this video is actually the greater one.

You make a good point. I think we should field that question to Graham.
Graham, same question!
I can answer that. That was our only take.
But when you consider theatre (where EVERYTHING is "one take"), it's not difficult, unless you have the camera doing complicating things, of course.
Thanks to everyone for the marvelous and highly embarrassing compliments. I'm so glad people are enjoying it.

Here's a better question. How long did you guys rehearse? And how much of it did you end up winging on camera?
I know that when I'm on stage, I paraphrase like half of my lines, just because I know what's supposed to be said, but don't remember the exact words. I was wondering if the same sort of concept applies while..miming.

Our school assignment was "a music video or a video wherein the sound is the key." So I though we should do something a little different.
And after I thought of the idea, I instantly thought of Andy. Really, who else?

That video is beyond awesome! You have no idea the amount of ROFLing I did when the mime-puppy got punted... it really should be illegal to laugh that hard from something imaginary.
Graham bringing out the lightsaber, and being balls'd (yet again) were my favorite parts. Andy's dancing at the end just blew my mind.
Major kudos, guys. SRSLY.
