Health Care in Black & White: A Preview


The following video is a teaser of what I have been working on in my spare time (of which I have lots) for the past two weeks. When finished, my short film should be about 15 minutes long. Of course, about a minute of that will be taken up by credits for all the filmmakers whose work I so gleefully mashed up.

Please enjoy this trailer and watch for "Health Care in Black & White" coming soon to a blog near you--probably Friday, Sept. 18. This seems to play best for me the second time, after all the starting and stopping of the stream has ended. Now turn off your cell phones and pagers. Shhhhhhhh.

Update: Best seen by clicking the YouTube logo, which opens a new window to a bigger version on YouTube's own site.

Ripper: Did you have to bring race into the healthcare debate by going so far as to include it in the blog's title??? -- as if we hadn't had enough of that over the past few days?

Very, very clever. Can't wait to see it.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of buzz. Without any recs, I might not bother to finish it.

I wanna see the happy ending dammit!

You can use this. I'm the fat guy on the left you can barely see.

If this post gets 25 or more rec's before it disappears around 1 a.m., you're on: I'll finish the movie and use a small clip of yours in it somewhere. Thanks, mark.

Ripper you might want to make an ongoing series of these. The big finish (I picture the fight scene on the movie set in Blazing Saddles as the penultimate moment) won't come til Obama signs it into law.

C'mon! Finish it!

Honestly, Norseman, I don't know. Three recs doesn't do justice to the nearly 100 hours I've put in on this. It'll take at least another 50 to finish, but if so few people care, why bother? It's not like I'm charging admission.

Ripper,

Sometimes good works just don't get the reviews they deserve or the viewers the need.

For what's it worth REC'D

MY PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS.

Oh yeah, I forgot I was headed north of 60. I HAVE NO PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS ANYMORE.

Finish please please and pretty please. This is the kind of stuff I don't have a clue how to do, and I envy you the skill.
