[Video] Omnipresent
I made this video with my besties three years ago.
In the winter of 2003, Microsoft held a contest to collect videos on innovation from the college students all around the world. The grand prize is a free trip to Brazil and US$5000 for the team, and the deadline is May 1st, 2004. (You can see a Windows logo at the end the opening animation. ^_^ )
My friend Martin forwarded the contest page to me, and without hesitating, we joined in. After several months' preparing, writing, filming, and editing, we finished and uploaded it to Microsoft's website on the last day of April, 2004.
What happened then? A big surprise. On May 1st, one Microsoft technical guy sent an email to me and told me that, the .rar file cannot be extracted correctly. And what's more, it was too late to upload it again.
Though the dream of a free trip to Brazil has never come true, we are still proud of this video. It was made by some guys who didn't major in film in the campus days.
Fortunately, half a year later, we won a grand prize for this Video in a contest sponsored by Intel. The award was a Sony laptop and some coolest digital stuffs back to the days.
And you know what, the biggest 'surprise' during the days we made this video was that, the pretty American girl in the video, Jessica Davis, had been a rhythmic gymnast and 1996 Olympian. When Martin and I invited her to join our project, we only knew that she's a foreign student in the university to study Chinese.
Ok, I have to stop my 'verbal pollution' right now. Please enjoy the video, folks.
