Mike Phelan O'Toole Max Headroom-Inspired talking video






This thing is brand new... I dont know what this is called yet, or if it's done, but it had to get out there. To set the scene a bit, it's 3 Am and I am alone, rambling in a dimly lit studio, clouded by sleepiness...
This will be used in the newest TV episode of Random Acts. Check my page for times! This is the end of the episode - we shot and edited it Saturday and it is airing this week!

After years of bitching and moaning "When, Lord?! When's it gonna be our time?!" the Manic Schematic/Lot 2 team is finally getting in on all the sweet, sweet film and video screening, artsy fartsy gallery action!

A little piece of insanity comes to Cambridge, as Lawrence Hollie and Mike Phelan O'Toole return to take over the historic Out Of The Blue gallery for another night of visually stunning, odd and entertaining underground films, video shorts, and live action tomfoolery with a crew of unique personalites like no other - Friday, November 16th, 2007!

Peep out flicks never before screened at the 'Blue! Marvel as special guest speakers provide A's for your Q's after each screening!

And what flicks and which guests are in store for you? Read on:

* Lawrence Hollie's NEW, theatrically inspired compilation of his RANDOM ACTS local TV series - including talk show appearances by Mike Phelan O'Toole, and vampire themed artistry.

(After which, we'll be shooting the Q&A for the next RANDOM ACTS TV episode)

* Quincy Brisco's NATIONAL ANTHEME

* Mike O'Toole's newest video piece, with poetry recordings mixed in.

* A boisterous stand-up comedy performance by comedian Tom Gregory.

* Assorted D.I.Y. tomfoolery that we cannot mention here.

If you would like to submit a video or perform or exhibit ANY type of artistic expression, the fee for soloists is 5 dollars, and 10 dollars for a group.

Laughter is the easiest vacation (and cheapest)

5 dollars for the night gets you all this, plus FREE snacks, drinks, great conversation with cool people, and memories for life.

Krazy Jay & Andrew in Accent Excess (from INSUBORDINATE #4)

Come hang with us on the couch (if you dare): This is a surreal, wacked-out segment from INSUBORDINATE #4, featuring a barrage of acidic visuals, coupled with generous amounts of good ol' punk rock tomfoolery and a poor attempt at sounding either English or Scottish. This segment includes the sights, sounds and smells of Lawrence Hollie, James Lee King Jr, Andrew Leone, Wayne Langford-Rogers, Mike Whalen, Mike Phelan O'Toole, and Noel, not to mention the music of DJ BENNY (A/K/A the heart that keeps this video pumping).

INSUBORDINATE is produced, shot and edited by Mike Phelan O'Toole and CathARTistry Creative/Insubordinate Industries.

WAYNE in Jump 4 Your Life (from INSUBORDINATE #4)

Wayne Langford-Rogers is dropped in a surreal, alternate universe, where his only means of survival exists in utilizing his keen po-goin' skills. Featuring a cameo from James Lee King Jr (Krazy Jay) and Lawrence Hollie - this is a segment from the public access show INSUBORDINATE #4.

DJ BENNY of Newton, MA provides the soundtrack. Wayne Langford-Rogers provides the pogo-goodness.

Krazy Jay Plays With Fire (from INSUBORDINATE #4)

This is a surreal clip from the upcoming 4th episode of the public access show INSUBORDINATE, and is sure to be a hit with all pyros out there. Boston rock band PLAN B supplies the soundtrack and James Lee King delivers the firey mayham.

Krazy Jay Car Vlog (from INSUBORDINATE #4) by Mike Phelan O'Toole

Here is a segment featuring the subtle genius of JAMES LEE KING, JR in a softer moment, used for INSUBORDINATE #4 (my public access show).

This was shot around the end of 2005. I man the camera while Jay drives and comiserates with the lens.
Rising local talent DJ BENNY provides the soundtrack.
