A little video I made for art class. It's about how we live in a culture which simultaneously fears and lusts for drugs, depending on their individual social stigmas. Hopefully that's apparent. The video herself was constructed entirely from public domain PSAs, commercials, and other such ephemera.

Special Trivia Bonus:
-The narrator of the original PSA I based this from is Anita Bryant, the infamous Florida Orange Juice lady and anti-gay activist bitch. I also found commercials in my search for footage voiced by Gene Wilder and Orson Welles.
-The original song I created for this video runs in at four minutes and twenty seconds.
-The basslines in the song were all typed on my computer keyboard.
-Keep an eye out for some of your favorite brands: Colt .45 Malt Liquor, Coca Cola, Lustre Creme Shampoo, Kools, Marlboro, Lucky Strike, and Ketelberg's Home-Timey Junk Mix.

I just sort of sat in front of my computer one day when I was feeling bummed and started recording, which is the reason there's no identifiable point to this video until about halfway through, when I came up with a theme. I shortly hereafter sat on and broke the wonderful sunglasses you see me wearing at the M. Night Shyamalan/Burt Reynolds moment right in the middle of 'er. It's not all glitz in the production biz. Also note that this was made about two and a half years ago, and I look and am quite a bit different nowadays.
