Two men (amateur filmmakers Robert Davis and Harry Hilfinger) lip sync to the song Modern Design.
Description
Two men dressed in suits face the camera against a white wall and lip sync to the song Modern Design. They mimic playing instruments and playfully listen to their audience. Hilfinger has a solo as a disheveled orchestra conductor, while Davis fervently speaks to camera in another take. They often speak and sing in unison. They bow with a smile when their performance is complete.
