Tongue-in-cheek Viral horror

[Paul Llewellyn]

Hi there,

Here's a fun piece that I made for a company that employs me to make team-building videos.
I sit down with individual teams and we come up with a basic idea to explore. On this particular occasion the team was up for honouring their favourite horror movies.
All the team vids are presented at a big,swanky, year end business celebration night out.
Its all in the aid of fun, though a healthy amount of competition is in the air, with each team hoping to have the best vid that year. I have to say though that this was not an exercise in great scripting. Please don't watch with expectations of anything approaching a fully rounded story with many original thoughts.

Here's this year's audience favourite:

I hope you find it amusing. It's quite tongue-in-cheek and maybe works best if you know the people infront of the camera, but I've been around these boards for sometime without sharing anything and I thought I probably should.

Shot with a hvx200, 1080/25p, stock lens. A one man crew effort.

Sorry for the youtube quality. It does look quite nice in HD. Honest.

Hey I thought that was fun! "...It's all about the productivity, Dan" That line struck me as SO funny, even though it's clearly an inside joke.

Nice job. Stills look great and I'd love to see it without the crummy YouTube compression.

Thanks for the compliments.
I know... it really sucks that all I have to show is youtube. Whenever I come here to get inspired by people's material I'm always loathe to click on a youtube link.
I really must sort out a website to show whatever work I produce. In the meantime I'll put up a few more stills.
Todd, the productivity line tickles me also. We tried to have a little fun with all those kinds of words and phrases that are used in the office. "Endless variance" is something I kept hearing from Paul whenever he was on the phone to other tech colleagues. I've no real idea of what it means, but, again it makes me chuckle to see it said in this context.

Well it wasn't funny to me, it brought back nightmares...i'm just glad you didn't use "enhance share holder value". I might have broken down in tears. The Shining bit was hilarious.
