My current rate of video production is about half a second to 3.5 seconds per day. When I started working on this video, I though it would be a one-off thing that would be finished in a weekend (much like the half-finished chalk drawing of Mega Man on the carport wall). Instead, I (perhaps unwisely) used it as a vehicle for my first experiment with Apple's motion graphics program, Motion, effectively stretching a weekend project into a three-month trek. I think the plot revolved around the idea that an evil corporation was hiding nuclear warheads in the kitchen at Mexico Tipico. I give you "Spy Movie."
This is the original, unedited VHS-C recording, circa 2000:

And here's the final, George Lucas'd version of my dreams. It's worth it to go fullscreen on this one:

Oh my! That is bad-fucking-ass.
F. Murray Abraham's performance in this was Oscar-worthy. Those are hands down the best special effects yet in Sonz of Acworth's film catalog.
Like David Cooperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear, Chris Jones has blown up the Tipico. Masterful sir, well worth the 10 year wait!
