Mark Baratelli: NYC Fringe Improv Cabaret

I believe Mark Baratelli and his Improv Cabaret act need no introduction to readers of this revlog. View posts tagged with markbaratelli here to get some history (please note that some of those videos are about Mark, not created by him).

Mark recently took his 45-minute, fully improvised one-man musical to the New York City Fringe Festival. From the looks of it by this video, he rocked the house. Improv Cabaret got some good reviews in New York, and I know Mark really loves performing. He’s a multidimensional guy with a lot going for him. At this moment he’s rehearsing for the national tour of Irving Berlin’s I Love a Piano, and it’s a shame they’re only passing through Florida.

If you have a better video than this, I’ll hand over the password to OrlandoVideo.TV, no questions asked. If you have a video that’s almost as good, I still want to share it with the world. Please email me at < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.

Poofy du Vey Fringe Promo

Burden of Poof Demo

Add to My Profile | More Videos
Today’s revlogging is a promo video for my favorite show to come out of the 2007 Orlando Fringe Festival, Poofy du Vey in “Burden of Poof”. Poofy is a young clown who has set out to discover some things about herself, and she makes some new friends along the way. The material is very endearing and it ends up hitting very close to home more than once. If you have a local Fringe Festival, or if you care to make a trip to Edmonton, Alberta this week, it is absolutely worth your time.

This video is a slight deviation from the norm here on the OrlandoVideo.TV, but I think a welcome one. I hope the video makes almost as much sense to you viewers as it does to me, even if you haven’t seen this stage show. The editor, Matt Lambert, who goes by Mallard Atrocious on MySpace, appears to specialize in acting demo reels. If you’re looking to put one together, you should look him up.

If you’re interested in getting a video you’ve posted to the web revlogged or if you know of a video I should post, please email me at < liberatr [AT] gmail DOT com >.

P’sha Productions: Desktop Pegeantry

When I first went to revlog this video, I wasn’t really sure what I could say other than “I’m so glad this came out of Orlando”. Since that time I’ve come to know and love Denna and Joey, AKA P-Sha Productions. It is my understanding that they were asked to create this announcement for work. The process of making the video has turned into a process that works for all of their videos, as you’ll see shortly.

The main rule with a P-Sha video is that all materials must come from the desk where Joey and Denna work if at all possible. Because of this, it creates a feeling like that created by G-Mail Theatre (but I know Denna hadn’t seen these videos until I showed them to her) or more simply a children’s tabletop puppet show. Around the same time as the Broadway Across America video, they were asked to do a video for Mark Baratelli’s Improv Cabaret, which we have definitely revlogged in the past.

Another notable video is the Arranging Pixels Theatre, done in the same style as the first two. This one is an ad for an IT company, starring Ken Granger, technology super hero.

In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
