Crowdsourced: The Movie

     Okay, I found this awesome thing. It's been floating around the internet for five years, but, miraculously, this is the first time I've ever seen it. You've probably seen it already, geekier sects of my hypothetical readership, but for everyone who hasn't, this is a very neat experiment in the recent fad of crowd-sourced productions (meaning a work of either dramatic, artistic, or literary presentation based off of feedback from an audience--the crowd, therefore, is the source.) Lindsay "The Nostalgia Chick" Ellis is currently experimenting with a novel produced in a similar fashion (which you should totally check out as soon as you're done here: It's called Fifty Shades of Green.)

     This particular example echos the famous Raiders of the Lost Arc: The Adaptation, a shot-for-shot remake of the classic action-adventure film done by a bunch of kids in their backyard with home made special effects over the course of years.

    Anyway, to cut to the chase, here's a really neat little bit of internet cooperation that I found endlessly amusing and I'm sure you will, too. That is, if the words "but I was going to go into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters" means anything to you at all.


14:07 and 20:06 are my personal favorites.

Enjoy, and, until next time, I'm Walter Cronkite.
