Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking (MAX)- My First review Of Audio Description For A Stand-Up Special
Quick Take: I’ve never reviewed a stand up special. I felt like I needed to, and lo and behold this thing went and got a Golden Globe nomination. I realized I don’t know how to grade stuff like this, but it was an interesting look at how audio description supports stand up. When you think about how comedians for years made money off of their albums, with no visual reference, it isn’t the most obvious genre for effusive description. I chose to start with Seth, because he isn’t a physical comedian. Still, he moved around enough that the description helped, including a joke that had him lying down on the stage. I plan to watch more specials, and get more of an idea of what to expect. For now, this is me dipping my toe. For more, check out the video.
