SMK gets the silent treatment...
I've always thought a lot of SMK episodes had the feel of a silent film, with the eccentric baddies, odd predicaments, and comic peril. Brunettes Are In is one that I get that vibe from more than others, though instead of Amanda being tied to railroad tracks in the end, we have Lee chained to a pipe. ;) This video is simple enough conceptually, and the speeding it up, aging it and adding the dialogue wasn't difficult (and I only had to fudge the script in a couple places). What really got challenging in making this was finding enough music without other super distinct sounds, short of using the music from the opening and closing credits over and over. So, my apologies for the unevenness you'll hear in places. What I wouldn't give for an SMK soundtrack! Hear that WB? Are you listening?? I'm sure they're not, but I can throw it out there anyway. I hope you enjoy what I've come up with.
