Old Movies: Flying Death Ninjas... of Death

Genre: Comedy/Action

Production Company: Kupla Klap

Premise: A group of four guys have invitations to what may very well be the party of the century, but if they don't leave soon, they'll miss it. They still need to pick everybody up, buy togas, and... save the world?

Background: After being given an entire semester to film a video, Alex Nowrasteh, Jeremiah Benson, Kenton Collup, Tommy Sparks, and Jeff Orr, finally got started. This was the first film of a series of projects that started with a person waking up. Edited by Jeremiah with nothing more than a VCR. The film was preceded by a stop-motion animation preview of Jeremiah's creation for a fictional Teletubbies movie to be released sometime in the year 2035. Jeff choreographed a dance sequence near the end of the film. Because none of the actors had their driver's licenses at the time, the illusion of vehicular motion was provided by Alex in one scene and Patrick in another walking backwards past the car. This did little to mask the unchanging backdrop, but nevertheless the idea was conveyed that the car was moving. This film featured numerous clips from movies ranging from Star Wars, to Last of the Mohicans, to Apocalypse Now. Unfortunately the raw footage for this film was taped over and the only existing VHS copy was broken and subsequently lost. But those of us lucky enough to have seen can attest to its glory.
