Buster Keaton Tribute - Keep off the Grass.

[a10fjet]

hmm

[0cer0]

2:20 World class trick!

[toddcharry]

I agree, you did a great job.  Thanks for posting.

[MissGoldenDreams13]

@drmoonrat: Seriously, you should have been alive in the 1950's so you could have played His Truly in "The Buster Keaton Story".

[JeffZHigs1]

I thought at 1:31 you fingered the guy. Lol, but wow. You did a great job in capturing Busters mannerisms and falls. 

[cinemahawk]

The little tribute within a tribute, to Joe was excellent! (For those who don't know, Buster was part of a Vaudeville act as a child w/his family. Buster's father, Joe Keaton made famous, that gag where he put first one leg then the other on a table.) You hover an instant like Joe did. Forget those who don't think the pratfalls r as important as death-defying stunts. U have that move so perfectly, & u didn't break ur neck! They'll never understand! I do pratfalls too... U make it look easy!

[drmoonrat]

@cinemahawk I love Keaton's death defying stunts, but I think I'm more impressed with his intricate prat falls. He never just fell down. He would always twist and flip and bend in a weird and interesting way.

[bill291212]

try it on a train.  or in some death defying way.

[drmoonrat]

@bill291212 I've done my share of that now. Still nothing compared to Keaton.

[jenlikeshorses]

That was fantastic! did you teach yourself the gags from watching Buster?

[drmoonrat]

@jenlikeshorses For the most part, yeah. This was actually just a spur of the moment video I made just as a Keaton impression.

[fallandbounce]

Nice work...

[moonismine123]

I love Buster and I think you did it great. He would be so proud.

[SunnyChaplin]

Hey if Johnny Depp can imitate Buster why couldn't you?

[EndedOnly]

That was actually incredible. O.O

[xxyya]

great gags!!!

[aj5650]

Not bad at all!

[beatyourheartout91]

This is amazing.  Excellent work.

[loveoneanotherplease]

good job:)

[doforanimals]

This must have been a lot of fun to make! Buster had that stiff leg, flat foot mannerism that you picked up on. Gotta have strong arms to take the brunt of those pratfalls! Hope you make more of these. Making a Keaton, Lloyd, Chaplin video tribute would be awesome!

[simplify234]

I was skeptical at first because Buster was so unique, but you did a great job. Was it you or was it Buster? Damfino.

[drmoonrat]

best compliment I've ever received.

[xXxartZchickxXx91]

the next stoneface. you're really talented. Keaton is my favorite actor of all time.

did you make your hat?

[drmoonrat]

Yes I did make that hat. I actually have an intrucional video on how to make your own Buster Keaton hat.

[zboy555]

dick is long

[drmoonrat]

That's the reason for the baggy pants.

[LoiNard]

Amazing! 5stars where s the music from?

[drmoonrat]

The music is by a Russina band called "The Acadimec Band" that I heard in Tennessee. I bought thier CD, but they are a pretty unheard of band.

[cjcampbell37]

You have Buster's rhythm to a T.

Really splendid,

cjc

[Andyfletcher1]

I Have to be honest, for the first 30 seconds you had me convinced that it was ACTUALLy Buster Keaton. This is very good, I'm sure he'd be proud!

[drmoonrat]

Well that is a compliment indeed. That makes me feel pretty good that you actually thought I was Buster Keaton.

[Hellof7]

I think this is amazing!

[aphh3]

That's not bad at all, nice moves and comedy. Well done, sir!

[shootdangthatsfunnae]

That was so well done!!

[shugachef]

good stuff, when Buster does that 2 legged fall that you do at 2:25, he puts down both hands to catch himself, and lands on a little pad. You can see it in his television apperances from the 50's, where he does that fall. be careful, dont get hurt.

[drmoonrat]

Yeah, I've studied that video clip before. It's a pretty scary stunt to do. I put my hands down too, but I try to slide them forward quick so you don't notice. It keeps my back from getting broken and getting the wind knocked out of me.

I'm amazed at how Keaton did that stunt when we was in his 60's and even his 70's.

[MisterBeaucoup]

The fall was awesome! I didn't even notice that you put your hands down to catch yourself. Good job!!

[drmoonrat]

Yeah, I tried to do it quickly, but I did it a little too late because my back caught alot of the fall, but most of it was slowed down by my hands.

[frankebe2]

Dam! That was GOOD!  Who are you and are you doing more?

[basserase]

Nice timing. Did you time the action to the music or the music to the action?

[drmoonrat]

I just adjusted the music to fit the video. I had to slow it down just a little bit to make it long enough.

[marius478]

I like it; that was cute! :D

[EagleKammback]

HAHA! That's pretty good!

[radioXway]

He is the best!!!

[makufkabrittany]

Haha very nice! You've really got his mannerisms down and everything! Really impressed.

[Akacia]

That was an awesome tribute, you caught the spirit of Buster, caught it in a nutshell :D

[drmoonrat]

Luxury?

[kingleonidus12]

great video, truely buster keaton. im working on my own video... its called the picnick. not up but will be soon.

[drmoonrat]

Sounds awesome. I can't wait to see it.

[prettyparisian]

ahahahahaha. 2.25 got me in hysterics, your very funny, you got all the moves down to a T =D are you planning on doing some more buster keaton, maybe a bit of charlie chaplin?? I think you'd make a gd chaplin 2

[drmoonrat]

I probably will some day. I want to do a Buster, Chaplin and Harold Lloyd video sometime. Maybe something a little more well put together.

[prettyparisian]

Glad to hear it, I found it really funny. Best silent movie tribute I've seen

[VivaldiPaganini]

Very nice man! good job.

[marciatorresstar]

VVONDERFUL BUSTER KEATON .

[marciatorresstar]

CONGRATULATIONS FOR VÍDEO .

[ZLNewton]

Fantastic, man! A wonderful tribute to one of the best...

[EP1997I]

Very nice job...way to go! Don't let some jealous jerks to put you down: very nice little video!

[dummii]

That was great! Good job!

[dontbecruel24]

Not pathetic at all! I loved it! You had aspects of the Keaton genius that few imitators seem to go for... nice job.

[TheMadHatterAmI]

When i do stunts like that i just relax in my whole body. The back is the most important place to be calm, so you dont risk breaking it if you're unlucky, but when you then hit the ground it dosen't hurt at all.

[julesgzu]

<3  2:24

[theone2088]

that was very good. I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

[drmoonrat]

A few big bumps and falls, but nothing too serious.

[outrofabio]

Not pathetic at all. Good job, me likey.

[zombieholly]

very cute. nice job :)

[vincent7520]

Good stuff a mix of Chaplinb and Keaton

But then, it looks like B. Keaton, it sounds like B. Keaton, it has the rythm of B. Keaton, and the stunts are like but it's not B. Keaton : that's what those guys like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin so great : they had a flair and personnality that made them unique.

[moviegirl8]

haha that was cool!

I think he would have been proud that the newest generation is still making it live on ^^

[RatPirate]

good job try like act to Buster Keaton Thumb-Up

[RubyWraith]

That was a superb effort. Very good! I wish Mr. Keaton were alive to see it. I think he would just love it.

[reddragonredrose]

Wow! I really must say that you do the best Keaton impression I've ever seen! You really seem to have mastered all of his little gestures. Bravo!

[767Sandie]

nice mix of chaplin and keaton. ^^ really loved it.

[1444y76]

Balaise. Bravo!

[reicherj]

wow... i'm impressed. I'm a huge keaton fan, and normally I'd be kind of annoyed at someone replicating him, but this is good, bro... huge question: WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SHOES? I've been looking everywhere for classic keaton/chaplin style shoes, and I haven't had any luck. Did you find them somewhere or make them? Please let me know. I'm a gymnast, acrobat, and have been trained in stuntwork since I was a little boy, and I am a huge fan and collector of anyting related to Keaton. thanks again

[WillWivell]

The best (and cheapest) oversized shoes I could find on the internet that aren't bright colours and made of cheap plastic are on the Madhatter Magic Shop website. Thinking of getting a pair myself.

[MacEstelle]

please don't say what you did was pathetic. i've been doing keaton for years and i can tell you that you have done very well with a nice simple gag and i loved it. keep it up. do a longer film. please

[CurtisMutter]

Wow, amazing!

Any plans to make another silent film? Your physical ability is incredible!

[drmoonrat]

I was planning on doing a Charlie Chaplin and a Harold Lloyd movie, and maybe one with all three.

[CurtisMutter]

That would be cool to see, usually people choose a preference between the three great comedians and stick only with their choice, so seeing a mixture of the three by the same person or in the same video would be fantastic.

[dalvar02]

Yes it would be cool to have all three. People tend to stick to one comedian like myself...I love Harold more than the other two but it would be nice to see somebody's take on them.

[dalvar02]

I would looooove to see a Harold Lloyd one. Chaplin is ok. I tend to favor one over the other. I can't help it.

[JohnMGilbert]

Keep making silent movies! Anybody can memorize a line.

[32GOGOGOMEZ]

i kept stumbling on this video when i did buster ekaton searches and i never finsihed watching it because i didn't think i would like it. but i just saw the entire thing and it was almost as if Buster were alive again. great job! =]

[zootsspirit]

had me going 4 awhile. for a moment i didn't care 4 it. but when the falls happened...it was like vintage Buster.you make a true Buster fan proud. Thanks.

[picknick21]

How can i learn that hat trick? so funny!

[drmoonrat]

It's pretty easy. I can't really explain it. there's a website that shows you how to do hat tricks somewhere that explains it pretty good. It's actually very easy.

[picknick21]

oh! sorry to disturb you again but could you give me a link to the website?

great tribute!

[drmoonrat]

i can't remember the name of it. just do a searcg for hat tricks or clown hat tricks and you should find it.

[drmoonrat]

Tell me how the trick turns out for you. It's a great laugh getter.

[robertyboberty123]

brilliant costume and everthing

[SAda940]

brilliant work i must say...i know how much the falling over/pratfalls can hurt when you dont get them right!!! check out my attempts at a harold lloyd tribute if you get the chance

[deadlyvelociraptor]

Wow! Wish i could fall down as well as you. Keep up the good work!

[cyborlite]

Excellent performance.

[patriciaoday]

Excellent. I laughed. That's a great compliment. :)

[vaudevilleUK]

Absoloutely brilliant, you've got Buster's movements down to a tee - and you costume is spot on too. Well done

[Xmchord]

You did an amazing job! What I'm most impressed with is how you get his personality and way of moving down.

[dms158]

That was pretty good. I liked the little foot on foot tippy toe hop. :)

[thorpe87]

Not bad at all.

[florencisalesas]

You did a cute job :)

(very good when you tried to do the Buster's two legs typical pratfall)

[LittleGidget]

Great job! I love Buster Keaton and it was like I was watching Buster himself doing all of that...you're good!

[doforanimals]

I'm a big Buster fan so this was fun to watch. Good job. It's so cool to see others out there who love Buster so many years after his golden era in the teens and twenties. Looks like you had fun! Do more....

[MVerdoux]

This is WONDERFUL! Buster would be most flattered! DAMN! You really have his moves and body language down cold! Not at all easy - very rare to see somebody who can REALLY do this stuff accurately - you've really studied his work. I also enjoyed your performance in your second role - it was very Ford Sterlingesque! Bravo all the way!

[drmoonrat]

Well I do appreciate it very much. I think just from watching so much of his stuff, the moves really sort or rubbed off on me.

[geekyvince]

I know that hat is hard to keep on when your hair grows too long good job

[drmoonrat]

Man is it ever, and especially when your flipping around all over the place.
