Our French IV class had an assignment where we had to research a contest we’d personally like to participate in, and create a written advertisement for it. So I found this awesome thing called the 90 to 5 Challenge, where video editors are tasked with cutting down a feature length film into 5 minutes.
So naturally I had to make play along and make my ad a video. I even tasked myself with keeping it under 30 seconds to keep in line with the spirit of the contest. I was under some time pressure, and when I’m under time pressure on a creative project, what do I do? I turn to my favorite media for a crutch inspiration. That’s how you end up with a video featuring 2001: A Space Odyssey footage, set to the Evangelion OST.
I hope to someday participate in this contest, and it might be worth it to rejigger this ad with English text (and perhaps a different song and different footage to avoid copyright problems? seriously IDK).
