HellBlock Tango

A classic clash between Cellblock Tango and Spellblock Tango that documents what happened after the Disney Villains revealed how they thought they got away with petty murder, from their jail cells.

In one of my classes titled “Audio and Video Design,” we were tasked with creating a documentary, as a one-person-team, on anything.

“Anything?” I asked.

 This got me thinking. As a self-proclaimed comedy connoisseur, I decided to take this assignment and put my own style into it. Instead of a serious documentary on climate change or animal testing, I decided to make a mockumentary. A mockumentary is a spoof of sorts. This can be a short video or a feature-length film using documentary-style shooting as a way to provide even more comedy to a fake interview and storyline.

 My mockumentary is titled “Hellblock Tango,” and is a spoof on “Cellblock Tango” from Chicago. It is also a spoof of another spoof, titled “Spellblock Tango,” created by Todrick Hall. Spellblock Tango is a spoof of “Cellblock Tango” in which it takes the same concept but makes it about Disney villains and how they murdered their significant others in a way they thought was just. I apologize for the confusion, this is just how my brain works. I took both of these original concepts and created a spinoff. Hellblock Tango focuses on Disney villains as well, and maintains the same general concept as both ideas made before mine. Instead of making it into a song, though, I decided to interview each villain. Every one of these characters spills how they killed their significant other and why, still believing they are innocent even though they are behind bars.
