Ballad of a Vampire Ballad of a Vampire
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 598 seconds

This gothic little creation was made as my final in CCSF's film production class, fall 2006. There are conscious nods, via music, to Zardoz and The Hunger, plus its all very Blade Runner-ish
Enjoy.

Beatles meets Python. A solid combination as proven by the Rutles.
Besides the original writers, credit is also due to Stevie Riks for the multiple roles aspect.
See: PAUL McCARTNEY SERENADES JOHN LENNON etc.
Hope you enjoy the latest from the duo that did Tony Clifton & Robert Goulet.

I\ I'm Not You - Redux (the "Cole cut")
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 586 seconds

This is the radically revised edition of my film of dueling Bob Dylan impersonators. It's more or less equally obtuse as the first version, only it has the benefit of much more detail and better editing (courtesy of one of the Dylans, Cole). Hope you enjoy.

The Twin & the Pyramid (rough cut) The Twin & the Pyramid (rough cut)
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 326 seconds

A work-in-progress version of my flick for Cine 202 at SFSU. The assignment required the exclusive use of stills (inspired by La Jetee), so I tried to make the most of it. The final refined version with original music should be posted in 4 or 5 weeks.

None of Your Business News \ None of Your Business News '05
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 309 seconds

This Laughing Academy classic is one of the very last sketches in a long line of newsdesk humor. The early NOYB news stuff starring Trevor Sherlin is coming soon.
I might as well address that NOYB's existence is indebted to SNL's Weekend Update, the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert.

Political Humor vol. 1 Political Humor vol. 1
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 523 seconds

These infamous sketches were a direct result of a heavy video diet of SNL during the 2000 election. The "presidential bash" special served as a kind of template for our version.
This is one of our first sketches not done as a one-shot monologue, hence some rudamentary editing, unchanged here since the first iMovie cut in 2002.

The Real World Novato (2 of 2) The Real World Novato (2 of 2)
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 604 seconds

Second half of what might be the finest sketch in Laughing Academy history. Certainly the best from the original cast (me, the Steve's, Trevor, David and Keith). This is the one I've been part of that felt like a true and killer ensemble (a "fellowship" if you will)
Here's part 1:

Civilized Political Discussion Civilized Political Discussion
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 90 seconds

This is a nice little short I'm proud of, shot in June '06, starring the Steve's from my informal comedy group, The Laughing Academy. The idea was to boil down political arguments to their true core.... in silent film, 1910's-style comedy.
Sorry it's low res, but I think the subtitles are just legible enough.
Tell me what you think.

The Future of Infidelity The Future of Infidelity
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 394 seconds

This is the second film by the Gypsy Mime Cult, as we called ourselves, at City College in fall '06.
Sorry about some badly mixed sound moments, but this was intended as the rough cut and we wound up turing it in as is. It hasn't been changed since.
It's quite bizzare, but I'm proud of it.

Sprite: Obey Your Idol Sprite: Obey Your Idol
Posted by: vincentxp40

Video duration: 87 seconds

You remember the "obey your thirst" Sprite ads, right? This is a commercial parody I did way back in 2000 for the Marin Academy summer film prod. class. This commercial wound up being the catalyst for countless sketches I made with assorted friends for another 5 years.
