Japanese commercial for Dead Rising 2... feat Richard Bagman?

Thank you everyone for the kind words! It truly was an honor to be able to do work for this community and for the huge love in my life: Capcom!!

A few notes:

My character is "an emotionally unstable, neurotic, over-anxious TV host that can't read the mood around him." The script called for a character that was similar in mood to a combination of Frank Drebin, Weird Al and Ace Ventura.

That stiff and nerdy "tape it" was intentionally choreographed to be well, stiff and nerdy in accordance with the character. The tape it dance actually ends with me intentionally backhanding my co-host, but played off to be an accident / unintentional (thus the reason for the "hand rolling" motion), her falling to the floor and me hogging the camera, but it didn't make it into the cut :)

The "sweat" is actually baby oil that was dumped on me every 10 minutes or so. Copious amounts of oil and hair glue were used to get that absurd hairstyle.

The script was in Japanese and I was tasked with translating it to English. The dubbing was done to make it look like a "cheesy American infomercial."

To create the zombie version of my co-host in the video, they brought in one of the world's top makeup artists that works on Hollywood horror movies. It took almost three hours to turn her into a zombie. It's a shame that you can't see the detail of the work in the video.

Capcom Japan wanted to make a commercial that was lighthearted and appropriate for Japanese TV, thus the above theme.

You can't see it, but Guile and Tron Bonne are in the background on the shelf.

I am supposed to be getting a dvd with outtakes and photos, that I'll post in the future if I'm allowed to do so.

Thanks again everyone!! You really are kind and your support means the world to me.

Thank you Capcom!!

  • Is there a version of this without the Japanese narration? I'm assuming the two of you are speaking English, but it's hard to hear what you're saying...

  • @megawhoosits

    Unfortunately there's only the dubbed version but I'll be happy to post a transcript :)

  • Richard Bagman gives me hope for the future. Zombie Richard Bagman would be a power that the world has never known. Not even the Ken Masters taped together could stop him.
