I once saw Buster Keaton do this in one of his movies and I wanted to copy it myself. Buster's was a lot funnier of course but, I hope you like it. This was filmed in 1997 on 8mm and was edited in 2006.
Rob is playing Buster's role and Matt is cameraman. The music is "Sabre Dance" by Khatchaturian
Definetly warrants more than 3 stars! Good job.

Buster did it twice actually, in The High Scene and he reprised it in The Railrodder (1965)

Buster Keaton did this in his film 'The High Sign' -- I don't ever recall Chaplin doing it ... ? Have you got mixed up, or have I missed something? Thanks ... good clip.
