For those of you that don't know what "sweded" means (definition taken from urbandictionary.com):
The summarized recreation of popular pop-culture films using limited budgets and a camcorder. The process is called sweding. Upon completion the film has been Sweded.
This minute-long video is fucking amazing. These dudes made this to enter the "Empire in 60 seconds" contest, as explained on the video's page.
Due to the nature of this short, lots of footage remains on the cutting room floor ( so to speak ) So expect a longer version soon (ish)
I can't wait to see the final one. There is nothing I don't like about this. Borat Fett, "pew pew" blaster noises, shitty animation, and crappy acting. It has it all. Definitely one of the best sweded videos I've ever seen. It really makes me want to go out and make a few of these. I'd probably ruin the concept though.
Original article (where I stole the picture from):
This is my favorite one out of all of them I've seen. The looks on the people's faces are priceless. The best part is when the security officer joins in. I was convinced he wasn't part of the act. I also enjoyed the fact that they went on afterwards as if nothing had happened. Pretty fantastic.
This is the first one that I saw from Improv Everywhere, and it is probably their most famous. To get 209 people (!) to freeze and unfreeze at the exact same time is definitely a feat. I love the part when the guy pokes one of the frozen people; and when the guy on the cart honks at them.
If you know me, you know that I'm a pretty big Ben Folds fan. He's a spectacular singer, amazing piano player, and brilliant songwriter. But he also plays pranks on his fans all the time. These two pranks are brilliant. Be sure to read the entire story to appreciate the genius behind it all.
