The Meaning of Life

This week’s entry in the 2010 goal of “publish at least one entertaining thing a week”. A sort of joke-y video about what would happen when the universe’s purpose is completed.

I had written the first few pages of a screenplay back in High School with this same premise, but back then it was going to be a talk-y melodramatic bore.

The technical challenges I set for myself this time were to match up some combination of long shot, medium shot and close-up. I think it came out okay. I’m pretty happy with the way the close-up goes back to the medium shot at the end. Also interesting from a production standpoint: the one line of dialogue came from a different shot, and I used a lot of “room tone” that I first practiced with for the Star Wars clip.

Thanks to my awesome friends at work for their support and patience!
