hiiii👋🏼
I've been lurking around sfth tumblr for a while now and I absolutely love this community (Thanks for answering my anons!) I'm ready to come out from under my rock and interact a little I guess....
Anyway, so I wanted to introduce a friend to shoot from the hip and wanted to know which videos (longform/games) you would recommend for that. Thanks a lot:)
Helloooo so nice to meet you! :)
It depends on what your friend's sense of humour is like, honestly! Also their attention span when being shown new things- you want to hook them, so sitting them down and showing them all of one of the full length specials might be a bit much. (But if they're up for it, then by all means lol) I'd probably suggest showing them one of the short videos first and then showing them a longtorm, especially good if it's something in a genre that they enjoy.
As for which short videos- all of them are great imo- but for someone new to sith and improv in general, l'd probably say the following games are a good introduction:
From what l've seen people say I think Freezetag is a very popular game, Change is a quick concept to grab and engaging right off the bat and Genre is a really fun concept. Letters is also a very popular game, and l'd say that the switching between speakers helps to grab people's attention.
Some great short clips that l'd recommend:
Old age home (Change, yt link)
"I CAN SHOW YOU DESSERTS" link #1, link #2 (Genre, yt links)
"Daisy Left" (Change, yt link)
Is this a sexual moment? (Freezetag, tiktok link)
Letter of complaint about Your Mum- link #1, link #2 (Letters, yt links)
Overheard in IKEA (Change, yt link)
Letter to Ambulance Service (Letters, yt link)
He used to watch her in math class (Genre, tiktok link)
If they're less fond of cursing and innuendos then I have a yt playlist with a few videos that would be "safe" to show them :)
Some sfth videos with no swearing or innuendos for people who want to introduce sfth to people who wouldn’t appreciate some of the other con
