Nothing
short of a masterpiece, this film was created with my artist friend who
worked at the SYP front desk. I wanted to learn how to record and edit
video as well as create motion graphics using After Effects so I pitched
this movie idea to my manager and a creative director at my first
mid-year review. I got a ‘go for it’ and a budget of
$400. Over the next 18 months my friend and I story-boarded, wrote, directed,
recorded, edited, built sets, scheduled, and actually got all of the
coworkers that we asked to act in it to actually do it. The result, an
office viewing event in the San Francisco office. We were even flown to
the NY office to have a viewing there.
Some scenes are cinematic gold and others are the best we could do with the 30 minutes we had of a coworker’s time.
