"Live from Studio 2B"
I've been wanting to do a short-short "update" on Yorick's first adventure which was completed way back in 2016. A meeting between him and Hamlet years after they first worked together seemed in order, and so was hatched the plan to have Yorick appear on Hamlet's talk show, "Elsinore Tonight" and have the two catch up while Yorick was promoting his new book. Yes, Yorick and "the Hamster" together again!
Although there are many references to the first film, some plot points are expanded and others reduced, a tiny bit of updated old footage but mostly new footage. All this in less than 3 minutes as opposed to the original's ten!
(As mentioned in an earlier post, the Hamlet puppet had some inspiration from a certain B&W film.)
Some stills:
...and the film is on its own page at the side.
ASIDE: "Hamlet" is an easy word to misspell on a typewriter (an ancient form of human-powered word processor)...on an essay I wrote for high school, the title page proudly proclaimed "HAMLEG".
