The mime idea

As I mentioned some time ago I have been thinking about my Mime task and what I have been thinking is a short piece where the character giving a performance to an audience gets a big surprise himself.

The basic idea is to use the well known "glass box" trick and kind of end the scene with the mime artist trying to break out using an invisible hammer or some tool and to his big surprise REAL glass shatters in front of his eyes.

The inspiration to this idea comes from Disney's "A Goofy Movie" where there is a scene when Max and Goofy meets a mime artist holding an invisible rope and Goofy clips off the rope using his fingers as scissors, resulting in a piano falling on the mime artist.

You can see this scene in the video below. The exact scene I'm talking about starts at 9,5 minute in:




There is still missing a beginning and middle of the scene and this is the part of the sketch I'm still spinning some ideas about in my head.
