Retribution Retribution

The third and final part of Jay Cheel’s faux-documentary (now officially outed in the final credits which drop the ‘viral’ ruse) concerning the implications and speculations on discovery of a mechanical A.I. being in the snowy regions of Norway, is now online.  While this is a supporting piece of marketing for an X-Box game of all things, any sort of actual marketing message plays a distant second to mood and aesthetics.  From half-glanced looks at the artifiact to hearing the ‘experts’ speak, there is a sense of wonder captured here.  When things looks this gorgeous and eccentric (think Errol Morris meets John Carpenter), one simply has to share.  The entire short documentary is now available on the ‘Norwegian Film Committee’ website.

    This fascinates me!  I love this kind of film making!  Truly great, fun, inspiring stuff.  The only downfall, I wish it was for a movie and not a game.

    Jay knows how to build mood that’s for damn sure.
