My Dad and His Identical Twin

[bryanedmondson]

This "double dad," technique was reproduced straight out of Steve's Book "Cool Tricks and Hot Tips..." The video was amazingly easy to shoot and crop. The hard part is trying to sync the character dialogue. I used sound effects to distract from the more obvious lulls. My dad, who impatiently gave me one chance to shoot this, really liked it in the end.

Greetings to everyone if we have not met.

Looks like that must have been fun! Nice job.

Thanks Dave. And greetings.
From the time-stamps it looks like we don't sleep like regular people do. How do you have the energy to own a business and ride motorcycles when you are not on Muvipix?

Great work, Bryan!

Here's my version of that effect.

What fun Bryan. Your Dad is a good sport and A+ on the acting.

Magic. It's fixed.

I'm not surprised your Dad liked it! After all, he gets to ask the question... "Who's the superstar??? Him or Me?"

Steve,

Your 3 guys made me laugh too!

[Steve Grisetti]

Me too!

[BuddyB]

That just knocked my socks off. Good show on both accounts. Thanks guys, it gives one a level to shoot for, and I'm still struggling at the first level

Steve, please forgive my late reply. I apparently did not check the box to notify me of reply posts to my video. I had no idea you had posted. I am sorry and embarrassed to miss that. Wow! 3 people in your video and the timing is great. That is really good work. Is this video posted elsewhere? I could swear I saw this before on another site. I remember as I was impressed.

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to do three people but I am not ready skill-wise. I have a big couch. I wanted to do 3 Bryans reading on my couch and having a conversation. I thought I would write a script dialogue and memorize the order of statements and then paste the face of a digital watch inside a book. Each Bryan would be reading a different book and talk on time marks. You know, look and turn and reply at the right time. Of course I never did the video. My Dads video timing was just pure luck. Your technique is quite challenging to pull off. Good job!

Bryan Edmondson.

I cannot remember one person ever spelling my name correctly so please do not feel alone. Thank you so much for the reply. I apologize to reply only now. I missed all replies due to not checking a box. I am a lot like Homer Simpson that way.

Cheers.
Bryan

Thanks. My Dad is super. I do not know how I ever could want to improve him. And I put him through all types of headaches growing up. He still loves me. He is a ham and tells corny jokes. He can't spell and calls a light bulb a light "bub". So it is hard to believe he has a PhD in Organic Chemistry, did research at Dow Chemical and has dozens of patents. He calls himself the "mad scientist." I still tie his shoes for him. (just kidding).

Thanks for the kind words.

Bryan.
