Here is a link to a 16 minute short film my brother and I did about changes in technology. It is about a salesman in the 1960's who is trying to sell a product to a town whose inability to accept change makes him question his machine's audience. As a side note, this film won best film at the OU CAC Film Festival this year. Enjoy!

I think beginning of the film is very indicative of the differences between the 1960s way of approaching technology and the way we look at it today. The character in the beginning does not even want to know what the product does and will not be convinced to consider buying it.
ReplyDeleteToday, however, people jump on the opportunity to be the first to have something new. People line up to buy the newest iPhone or iPad without ever having seen it or tried it out. I think with the amount of technology we have today, we try and take it all in and get everything instead of just what we need.

I would agree with the comment above. It seems in today's society we jump on any chance we have to get the "next big thing". No one really cares anymore about the quality of the product, they just want what's new. Wanting what is new also leads to complacency of the quality of the product.

Congratulations on winning best film at the festival! I love the atmosphere you created by using the laundromat--and it seems to suggest something about the genesis of ideas--watching the spinning machines, thinking of discs?
ReplyDeleteI think it is so cool that you guys make videos! It was so good! I am very impressed. Congrats on winning first place!! That was so creative!
