Скачать или смотреть Ultimate Ken Burns Documentary Parody

What if Ken Burns made a documentary about someone worthless? That's the idea of my video. What if Ken Burns completely ran out of ideas of who to do a documentary about and he decided to do one about this guy?

I decided to cover a lot of ground here. Starting with the Civil War, I present historical topics like street crime in early 1900s New York City, minor league baseball in the 1920s, running a newspaper in 1930, being in Congress, World War II, live television, the folk scene in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, being a Pan Am pilot and some other stuff too.
I have to admit, it was fun doing the Photoshop work needed for this video. Some of it was pretty intense, and I hope that I was able to deliver on that.

Below, find out some very weird trivia about some of the stuff you see onscreen my video.

VARIOUS PRODUCTION TRIVIA:

One small joke that I was able to include should be explained. If you notice on every newspaper front page that I show, there's an article called "New Petitions Against Tax." The joke is that practically every time you saw a newspaper front page in a 1950s or early 60s movie or TV show, that headline would be there. Once I started looking for that headline, I started seeing it everywhere. Therefore, I was happy to use this as a running joke throughout. Most people won't notice it. The right people, however, will!
Another little in-joke was in the Pan Am pilot sequence. Richard Pubiss says that he talked to a Pan Am pilot named Frank Taylor. Well, Frank Taylor was the fake name Frank Abagnale, Jr. used to pass himself off as a pilot in the 1960s. The movie, "Catch Me If You Can" covers his exploits pretty well.
During the Polk County Justice sequence, you'll see the main character wearing a 1980s Arkansas State Police uniform. This is one of the actual uniforms used in the Tom Cruise film "American Made."
Everything Pubiss is wearing in the Navy pilot sequence is wrong. He's wearing a vintage Soviet Union head covering meant for use under a helmet and he has on an modern Italian flight suit.
In the Pan Am sequence, the uniform is only vaguely right. The logo on the cap is way too big and there shouldn't be "scrambled eggs" on the brim. His Pan Am badge is a re-make of "Frank Taylor's" fake Pan Am ID. So it's a fake of a fake!
The Newark Scofflaws uniform and cap that Pubiss wears are actually exact replicas of the 1915 away uniform for the Newark Peppers. The Newark Peppers were part of the very short-lived Federal baseball league.
When Pubiss is a folk singer, he has a sign on his guitar that reads, "This machine kills boring people." This is, of course, a tribute to Woody Guthrie's guitar. It had a sign on it saying, "This machine kills fascists." In fact, it's actually Woody's sign with the words, "boring people" subbed in.
The New York Tribune newspapers are misspelled as "New York Tribine" each time they show up. In all the months I worked on these things, I never noticed the spelling mistake until after I uploaded the video. Moron!
The Dick Pubiss concert poster is a complete ripoff of an actual early Dylan concert poster. I changed the date so that Pubiss would perform his concert before Dylan.
Although this a parody of Ken Burns, the look for the interviews are actually patterned after the witnesses that were shown in the movie "Reds."
The name of the final newspaper that announces Pubiss' death is the name of the town newspaper in the TV series "Northern Exposure."
Here's a rundown of the various names listed at the beginning who supposedly helped sponsor this. The Adrian Wapcaplet Foundation: a silly name used in a Monty Python sketch. Arthur Radley: better known as Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Thomas Marvolo Riddle: of course, that's Voldemort from the Harry Potter movies. Jonathan S. Tuttle: name of a non-existent officer on the TV series MASH. Paul Ramon: a stage name briefly used by Paul McCartney before he became famous as a Beatle. Nick Halden: one of the aliases of Neil Caffrey in the TV series "White Collar." Phil McCracken: a favorite fake name for decades.
