America's Next Top Superhero

"So, what's the plan this time, Brainiac?" After losing three superheroes to sinister accidents, Super Sidekick Brainiac is in search of a new superhero companion, so naturally he placed a newspaper ad. He's finally down to eight applicants, but there can only be one Next Top Superhero. Let the competition begin and may the best superhero win!
Made as part of the 2004 Boston 48 Hour Film Project, America's Next Top Superhero represents what results when Playomatic only has 48 hours to conceive, script, produce, shoot, edit, score and master a short film. On the evening of Friday, April 2nd, Team Playomatic randomly drew the "Superhero" genre out of a hat and was informed the following items must be included in the film:
Prop: Garden Hose
Character: Spudgy McGonnagle, a Pastry Chief
Line of Dialogue: "So, what's the plan this time, Brainiac?"
This award-winning short was shot on Saturday, April 3rd and edited on Sunday, April 4th in Beverly, Massachusetts. It was first screened as an audience favorite at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge on Tuesday, April 6th and later included in the Best of Boston screening on May 9th at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Winner of an unprecedented three awards at the Best of Boston screening:
Best Costumes
Best Use of Character
Best Use of Line of Dialogue.

Except this movie was made in 2004, so perhaps Lady GaGa is stealing all our old ideas. By the way, this movie predates Stan Lee's "I Want To Be a Superhero" Show too.

I kind of really like that Evergreen has a blue and black costume. It becomes a bit nonsensical as the video progresses. I know it's humor, but if you look carefully at successful comedy I think you'll find that a LOT of the humor comes from carefully thought out follow through on initial premises. Hurm. so uh... yeah.

[Playomatic]

True. We made this in 48 hours so there was not a whole lot of "thinking things through." We really made this up as we went along and most of it is improvised.
