If you were taking bets on who would be brave enough (or crazy enough) to do a full-blown, shot-for-shot, super-low-budget parody of Chega Mais... Well, this should've been easy money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phOuBnI1mVw
It's the first pairing of Breana and Ginger AND the most accurate Chega Mais skit I could do with zero budget. Same pies! Same set (kinda). Same Bojack! Same rigged questions! The only thing missing is the multiple male pieings! (Sorry?)
Or, if you don't need all that crap, individual angles with no FX can be found here: RAWHD.SlapstickStuff.com
So far, the "early birds" have been grabbing the "Complete" clip, which gets you all three angles AND the final edit. (Please be patient for codes.) It's the closest you can get to the Chega Mais experience short of pie barraging Curly yourself!!
As you might guess, this was a labor of love... I'd love to hear your feedback, and I'll be sure to post more pics if people want them....
To be fair some of the girl on girl pieings in this video look great, the sort of slow deliberate pieings that you wish would happen in other WAM vids but never do.
Well done sir. I had passed on your first few attempts at the CM pies, but I think you nailed it here, and two great models for the setup. On the constructive side (for the hopeful sequel) I would only say to double (maybe triple) up on the paper plates, accuracy dictates you don't use tins, but the pieings might have a little more control if the plate doesn't look/seem so soggy. Also, for the sake of a two girl scene, it would've been nice to see them each take a "balloon", though I get that the main focus is the pies, doesn't necessarily need to be more than one each.
Overall though, very well executed, 9/10, hoping for a sequel.
Wow! This looks amazing! Can't wait to download it...when I saw your plans to do this I was hoping Breanna would be featured...congrats...awesome stuff.
Dude.....Awesome! I had could not understand the appeal at first. But holy crap this looks funny and we'll acted, and a much better take on that show! Since you actually got a horse head, I will definitely pick this up! ( no sarcasm, this is awesome!)
Haha... Thanks all! It's been an "interesting" few days but I appreciate all the positive feedback. (Even Regis, in his own twisted way...)
--The horse head was well worth the (not much) money, except it was impossible to see out of... or breathe... or check cameras. I have a new respect (?!) for Bojack. That said, I thought the pieings came out very well especially since I was doing them mostly blind.
--I hope folks appreciate the "TOMA JUNTO" plates. Those took a while to put together. But it adds that "extra" authenticity, right?...
--Pies took two hours (!!) to make in the morning, and then another 30-45 minutes to "refresh" since this was the last scene of the day. I told my friend this was one of the hardest shoots I'd ever done, and it kinda was... But again, results. That said, it will probably take a LOT to get me to attempt a sequel to this!
--I need to post a screen grab of the editing timeline for you tech nerds. Some of those shots had about 6-7 video layers!
This is fantastic, Rich! Both ladies are beautiful & sexy in lovely dresses!
You can joke about and downplay the FX, backgrounds, etc., but I think you did an awesome job! It's a very fun clip, with lots of great CM pies in the ladies' faces, and the background adds to much so the mood!
I figured that you photoshopped the horse's head in, but you actually bought one and used it! I guess now you'll have to do a "Godfather" set to get your money's worth out the horse's head!
IF you do a sequel, a balloon or two would be kind of cool!
OK...I am unabashed as a Huuuuuuuge Chega Mais fan so perhaps biased going in, but this video is PHENOMENAL! Great comdedic values, and both girls get SMASHED with CM pies and Breanna takes an amazing sliming at the end. If you are even a little bit of a CM fan this is a must-have. Kudos to Rich. The subtle aspects of the editing...like getting reactions of the hosts and male competiros in the game...yes, the pie plate logos...the whole thing pays great tribute to (IMO) the greatest mainstream WAM show ever but also give a lesson in proper pie delivery...one can only hope the real CM producers and models see this thing! Do yourself a favor and pick it up. Best $9.99 I've spent in a lonnnnng time!

Rich you gotta do a sequel!!!
In the sequel the idiot twins are sitting on the chair waiting to take a pie. Out of nowhere comes a giant wrecking ball that obliterates them. Splat against the wall. "The End" appears on screen. Can you photoshop this scene, SS ?
Rich, what formula/prep steps did you use for these pies? I know you've been trying to emulate the CM/Brazil pies for years! Looks like you got really close.z

Got to agree with this. For one thing, she's got a husband who would serve as an excellent First Gentleman of WAM.
But I think Rich would make an excellent Secretary of State for the WAM Nation, given his skills at diplomacy and foreign relations (i.e. reaching out to non-WAMming models and convincing them to give it a go.)
I haven't laughed so much at one of your parodies since the excellent Saw parody you did a few years back!!! That is a truly excellent video. The haminess of the special effects just adds to its comedic value (like the "so bad it's good" type result)! Thanks for producing this Rich! I love it. And I think I love Breana too.
