  • A fan-made tribute to The Twilight Zone made for our J-term course, complete with a cheesy, period appropriate commercial. Hope you enjoy!

    Once I figured out what was going on - I came on board. At first I was rerunning all the TWZ episodes I have seen trying to figure out how I missed this one - it took the i Phone in the lab to make it all click into place. Nicely done - more please.

    Well Done! Impressive..Ray Bradbury would have enjoyed this srory..yes i met him many times when I worked at Tessmann Planetarium located on the campus of Santa Ana College, Santa Ana CA. Dr Jim Christian was the Head of the Philosophy Dept. He had a course every other yr named Theatre of Ideas & Ray was one of the "Instructor's' of the class.

    I come back every couple of years to watch this. I wonder what all the actors are up to nearly a decade later. I think this was a college project from somewhere in Canada. I'm sure when these kids made this, they had no idea they'd actually have fans on the internet enjoying their work. And yet... All these years later... I still don't know what the lead actress was doing with her hands at 8:34... Lol!

    It would be a mind screw and the problem regarding stasis and tech changes. What would be the ethical thing to do when we are passing generation or stasis ships that have much slower propulsion. Would people land and find out they're not the colonists, but rather arriving in thriving settlements that have been around for generations? What would we prefer if we were aboard those ships?

  • @STho205
    @STho205 Před 6 lety +9

    Yes writing, music and lighting was the key to TZ. In directing and editing you captured those three.
    In fact another element was key to TZ, Outer Limits and One Step Beyond: the ability to write a plot that did not require elaborate sets and FX. That is rare today as most film today relies on the violent action, FX and elaborate ILM style visuals to drag along a pretty hollow script. I blame Lucas.

  • @billanthony7896
    @billanthony7896 Před 7 lety +12

    Okay, it had it's drawbacks, but all in all, a fine effort. I think the episode was helped greatly by the excellent choice of background music to help propel the mood of the drama along. I still don't know what the heck was going on with the actress at 8:34 exactly... lol. Never the less, good job. It was fun to watch!
    (Attention Laura, or somebody who worked on this--- Where did you get the soundtrack? I've been looking for it here on CZcams, but can't seem to find it. Was it a Twilight Zone score, or a combination of scores? For instance, the music at the end where she's looking out the window... Where was that from?)

      Errata: Rod Serling :) LOL. You guys did a great job. Let's see... in te year 2,259 we all be "Dust in the wind". Unless one of these concepts would applied, but no matter which one, the body that we now have wil in deed be dust....in the wind (Should there be any wind). The Atheist way. Dust in the wind, nothing else. The Mormon way: If Baptised before death, In the Celestial Kingdom = "A Heaven a its own (With plenty of females for a few selected ones and just one for the rest of males...Sorry women, only one man for you. Sorry guys at large; No cofee, no beer, no wine, no Coca Cola.... but hey!!!!, you're in heaven and just remember; It can be worse: 1. Telestial Kingdom, just like Earth but hard up until someone get baptised on you & 2. This is where you are out of luck: "Out of Darkness", whatever that may be il be. Can you figure that out?. The Seventh Day Adventist. This one is straight forward: 144K who worshipped on Saturdays and were nuts per se go to heaven, the rest of humanity; With AC/DC "♫♪High way to Hell♫. Ohhh, here comes another one perhaps, even better. 144K Go to heaven (A few stay alive today who will participate in the heavently body), the rest.... The Wicked once Dust in te Wind, always dust in the wind, but; The righteous and unrighteous wil be ressurected in an old fashion way and in groups to live on Paradise on Earth for 1K years. At the end, some will live to tell and wil become: "Inmortals" and the ones failing will join the wicked and the atheists, of course ;) Now the Catholic way. Purgatory to some and heaven or hell fo others. Evangelicals go straight to "Purgatory". Oh, by the way; If ET's shows up in between now and then; The Catholic church will try to baptised them too because, after all; God created all (Name it, He created them). Those using the Book of Muslim of Muslms: "Al infidels (Us included) straight to Hell. They will be in heaven wiht plenty of horny virgins. Evangelicals at large...'I rather not go there". It's more complicated tan that. To get my point, listen to the Christian Radio. Well?, now Im going to relax and listen to some DIO's Song.....♫♪ Holy Diver.........♫

      william pitman In the 1950's and 1960's almost EVERYONE smoked them. Both my parents did, but their three kids never have and never will. The Warning printed on the packages was not done until the medical studies caught up with how bad these cancer sticks really are, in the Surgeon General Report - *1965*. In 1969, cigarette advertising on television and radio was banned, and mandated to take effect in September, 1970.
      That was the year I graduated from High School. Several of my classmates smoked cigarettes and many that didn't teased their stupidity. I ran track then, setting a school record that stood for 36 years.
      Smoking a cigarette does not make anyone a loser, especially in the years we see nearly EVERY actor in every movie doing it. We can and should pity them in these more aware and modern times, though.
      Rod Serling was a creative genius, praised for his work in storytelling and cinema. He died at the young age of 50, in 1975, two days after heart surgery. Most likely his smoking contributed to his early death.
      *The Twilight Zone* remains one of my all-time favorite series and I have seen every episode, many times.

Astronaut is good, very attractive although latter not relevant. Let's have lunch. Professor needs to fine tune acting skills. Music was great! Lower music during speaking parts and don't step on actor dialogue. News cast needs help. Watch iris and back light. The velvet rope took my attention away from scene.
