These days more and more comedy groups are getting in on the comedy shorts craze. As an improv team Michael Pizza always knew that there would be a time for that so we went about gathering ideas for video sketches. The first one we did is about an awkward moment between a news reporter and a witness.
I suppose the interesting part of this blog post (other than the video) is to tell you how this idea came about. Michael Pizza did an interview for a local PBS show and in the interview they were having mic troubles so we had to "share" mics. That meant putting a mic on two of us and the others had to lean in a bit and get close in order to be picked up.
Josh and I were having fun with this idea by leaning across each other when one of us wanted to speak. If I had to describe it, it would look like we were trying to look over each others shoulder.
This made me think that it might be funny to see what happens when two people have to share a mic in close quarters. For the sketch we used gunshots as the excuse for our two subjects to get even closer. I suppose you want to see it now that I have talked about it
