Work from Previous Class

After spending all this time on my Second Life Presentation has made me remember a movie we created last semester in another technology class. Technology in the Classroom. We were charged with the topic of creating a movie at least 5 minutes long. We sat down and decided to create something comedic since it was our first try. If we did drama it could possibly turn out bad, and nothing is worse then trying to do something serious and it coming out laughable. We were to show it to the entire class so we thought a comedy was reasonable. We took it beyond that though. We decided to do a mockumentry. A mockumentary is pretty much a parody of something in a documentary style. If you notice we have interview sessions. We all had a place in our hearts for Poker, so we decided to do a parody of the World Series of Poker. If you do not know, the World Series of Poker, is the biggest poker event of the year. It is held in Vegas, at Binion's Casino. We put a spin on that title, and since World Series also applies to baseball, we went with the absurd theme of stealing from a random sport, and thus: The Stanley Cup of Poker was born. Initially, we intended it built up the tournament to the extremes and then have every1 realize it was just in our dorm room, but it didnt really work out like that. All in all it was a lot of fun, my first chance dealing with "actors" and some funny stuff came out of it.
