Let's get it out of the way- yes, I know how badly this was lit.  And yes- the jump cuts were intentional.

This was a portion of a class project I worked on back in my IIT days from either 1999 or 2000.  This segment demonstrates the power of those within television, and how the viewer passively views this power without any interaction.

This project was filmed on a camcorder and then digitized (using standard turn-of-the-century desktops) for video editing. The end result is a rather pixelated, yet still presentable, video for the class.  The rest of the project involves interaction from outside the TV that's showing this video, which I may include at a later time.
