Ninja Con comes closer without moving
Ok ok ok ok. So I’ve had a lot of pointed, almost angry questions about this video because people simply don’t get it. Step 1) It’s not a true sequel. It’s a public service announcement to encourage people not to bring food into the lab that we put up on the big screen at the entrance.
The reason it’s called “A Day in the Life of a Ninja Con 2″ is because there was an original that actually followed a ninja through one of his ‘regular’ days. This video was quaint, and enjoyable, and completely unrelated to our video. But since people knew that one in the lab, we figured we’d name this one after it. Why?
Step 2) BECAUSE IT’S A SPOOF OF NINJA CAT COMES CLOSER WITHOUT MOVING FOR PETE’S SAKE! If you haven’t seen it, watch it below, then watch our video below that and it will all make sense. Beautiful, beautiful sense.
Above is one we didn’t make, below is the spoof we did.
There is one cool camera trick in here where the pop magically ends up in his hand. This was done with a simple cross dissolve between blurry shots, one where the pop was on the desk and one where it’s in his hand. I just made the same motion twice and voila. If that made no sense to you, don’t worry, I’m not going to go any further with the explanation.
Interesting fact: Jeff‘s face is on that little “no food in the PUB Lab” sign I smack at the beginning of the video, so he technically IS in a video.
Slightly less interesting fact: I’m shown using myspace in the video, quite possibly the last time I ever touched my profile.
VASTLY less interesting fact: You’d be surprised how often people think they can get away with eating in a “no food” zone and try to weasel out of it by getting angry with you like it’s your fault they broke the rules. I still want to slap people like that, despite not working there since June.
