That was so well done! Love the music too. I can almost recognise it, but not quite.

This is the show I produced in college, in a previous year before I headed it up. Jessie made a lot of the videos for this show pretty much by himself. I’m pretty sure Lee did the camera work on this - he was the head of the organization. Jessie and I worked together on an animation piece I need to get digitized.

I don’t want to be a wanker about this, but isn’t this the exact sort of shit the revolution was fought over? Like seriously.

I think the revolution was more fought over people being given titles with actual power and abusing that power, rather than ceremonial and/or honorary titles that grant someone little more than an extra line in the “sender’s information” block at the bottom of the letters they write.

I think it can be staged as “not creepy.”

Its absurdity, though, is inescapable. And this film is doubling down on it.
