Laptop Confidential

I submitted a sixty second film noir for the Gizmodo Laptop Confidential contest.

You can also download the original, in it's 26 megabyte MPEG-2 glory! Released under the terms of the CreativeCommons Attribution ShareAlike license.

For those that don't read Gizmodo regularly, I've included a handful of oblique references:

I'm working on haiku because a previous Gizmodo contest required haiku entries.
"Miss Nast" refers toConde Nast.
The large photograph is Andrew Krucoff, who was fired from Conde Nast for leaking info.
The "stack of JBs" refers to Gizmodo editor John Biggs, whose photo is on the bills (taken from the Gizmodo Portrait of the Reader as a Young Dork contest).
The text at the top of the $50 bill reads "IN DORKS WE TRUST".

Thanks to my lovely wife Carina, for not only indulging me on this, but for helping as much as she did!

I hope you enjoy watching the film as much I enjoyed making it!

[...] This afternoon, I helped Scott film his 60 second movie Laptop Confidential, for entry in the Gizmodo Laptop Confidential contest. We filmed short bits and this evening while I was at Nikki’s house, he put them all together to make a great little movie. Here’s hoping he wins! [...]

Man, you are the biggest dork I've ever met, and I've met a few. Still, I can't help but be a little jealous of your obvious film making talents. Good luck.
