Default Two New Skits

I did two new silent skits for YouTube. I'm planning on developing them both into 5 minute acts. Check them out and comment them on YouTube if you like (I would like!)! Or here. Either way I would love to get feedback! (And as a side note, it helps if you pause them and let them load a little before watching. Wont be choppy then!)

I had to remaster the Bowler Hat Ballet by putting a title and an end credit sequence in. I was hoping it was done before anyone clicked the link!

I enjoyed both of them. and, suprisingly, had no trouble viewing them.
Terrific work, Chance. it's like watching Chaplin.

Wow, that is a wonderful compliment, thanks so much Scruffy! The Bowler Hat Ballet was inspired by Chaplin and his dance of the dinner rolls. I've wanted to do something ballet like myself and as I was playing around with my bowler I thought I could turn it into a dance! The music was really inspirational to my clown creativity. The song's called: Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Faun. I first heard it with a 1903 film version of Alice in Wonderland.

Thats a great start! But I am not sure if you are fighting your bowler or dancing with it. It could be both... If you are dancing with a uncooperative bowler, start out with presenting the bowler as your partner, instead of being surprised it is on your head. Then let its natural obtrusiveness take over. Make it clear that whatever the hat is doing, you are trying to dance. (I am hearing a Tchaikovsky waltz in my head... it is not from the Nutcracker... I'll have to look it up...)

If you are dancing with it like say, Charlie Chaplin as the Dictator dancing with the world, then the hat needs to move a lot more, pull out more straight up hat tricks, besides the mime stuck ones. Also if you go that way, don't start the music until after you have been surprised that the hat is on your head, and you do one hat trick with it. Then be surprised by the music then just go with it.
