I'm curious about the background of those videos. What's the story?
- DonHopkins 11y agoThose were "One Minute Movies" we did with NBC in 2003, but that were never aired. Will Wright wrote those two and built the robots at the Stupid Fun Club, and I developed the robot control software and helped run the robots from an "undisclosed location" (the back of an FMC motorcoach). http://www.allentownproductions.com/project.php?p=nbc http://www.allentownproductions.com/project.php?p=nbc In 2003, NBC attempted to add a new feature to prime-time television with "One-Minute Movies." Each original movie unfolded in its first 30 seconds and ended with a cliffhanger, and then a conclusion in the last 30 seconds. The One-Minute Movies were to be used as interstitial programming between commercials and possibly where a show ends a minute earlier than its scheduled running time. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/04/business/media/04ADCO.html http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/04/business/media/04ADCO.html
