I’ve had this video around for years. In 2001 my buddies Jon, Ryan, Nick, and Corner got together and made this 5 minute short for a contest called iMovie Fest at Georgia Tech. We made the video in one evening (plus an all-nighter editing). When we got the call to “make sure we would be at the awards ceremony” we stated with calm indifference, “nice… we must have won first place.”

We showed up to the event wearing black suits and sneakers. This was a college freshmen event, so the rest of the attendance was wearing t-shirts and jeans. We sat in the front row like a bunch of VIP bad-asses. (At this point we weren’t really sure we had won, despite our apparent confidence). When our video came on as the first place video… it made the victory oh so sweet. We even scored $1,000 in prize money!

Soooo, Here’s the video:
