B-Hanny

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B-Hanny (Robert Thomas Hansen), but credited as "Bobby" or "Bob" by his closest companions, is Australian-figured character (named after himself) found in the popular online film series: Exploration, and can also be found in numerous videos of himself playing the piano and the guitar. He is also the founder of The B-Hanny Film Company.

Exploration

An online film series primarily directed by camera man Mark Paulsen (0nett), who is founder of 0nett Film Productions, and B-Hanny, who plays the lead role of himself in the series and co-directs the filming process. Together, both take on the responsibility of planning the skits and location of the film set. Over time, the series' popularity increased; what started as a commonly viewed show in their very own hometowns soon evolved into something people all of the world could enjoy. As the number of episodes produced increased, so did the traditions, for example, every episode made after the first produced episode Moraine Hills Exploration contains a black beret that B-Hanny wears. The beret became more than a hat, it became an icon, in fact, if the beret is not present when the cameras begin rolling, then the filming process will halt until the beret is found. Other than the beret, vocal traditions arose as well, such as the infamous B-Hanny "Oye!" or "Yea!". All together, the show has become famous for a couple good reasons, as quoted by B-Hanny himself: "What could be funnier than man talking in a fake Australian accent running around a set of woods pointing out random objects?". As said himself, the accent is fake, along with the accent heard for a breif moment in one of his newest explorations: Ride Exploration, which is spoken in a "gangster" tone. The B-Hanny Film Company and 0nett Film Productions continue to shell out new videos weekly, and can be found on Youtube.
