Short Film: "Modern Times" by BC2010
"Made with no money, just a little time and a lot of passion", a london-based art director going by the name of "BC2010" has totted up over 125,000 hits on a short film uploaded to Vimeo less than a fortnight ago.
The sci-fi short, entitled "Modern Times", gives us a mouthwatering, if slightly optimistic, glimpse into a future world of space-crafts, intelligent interfaces and transformer-esque workstations that magically materialise from the floor. The story, rather endearingly, centres around a humble cinema projectionist as he boots up a less-than-humble mega-projector; blasting its image on what appears to be the surface of the moon, for the pleasure of the orbiting viewers.
The viral spread of this futurist clip is more than a little reminiscent of last December's YouTube hit turned (expected) Hollywood blockbuster "Panic Attack", and is yet further proof of the impact a few enthusiastic amateurs can have broadcasting their goods on the net. Make sure to check out the "Behind the Scenes" clip to see how Director of Photography, Richard Mountney and the team created their vision for the future.

Was the film "optimistic"? I dunno, All that tech, and all that effort to get all those folks to the actual Moon...and all they did/wanted to do was sit and watch a "virtual place" a movie.
Not so sure that's a realistically optimistic view. Already the designer of the film has no possible carreer designing real spacecraft.(well a few jobs at composites/virgin) and has to do his best to stand out against a million others making youtube movies of cgi videogame teasers or style needed commercials once in a while... even music videos arent paying like the used too...lol
just some thoughts from one fake spaceship maker to another.
But whats up with the weird rotating storrage?
The serial number TT0077294 in the abandoned vehicle, is the IMDB id for 1977 movie, Capricorn One. Also the projectionist is reading The Making of Kubrick's 2001 by Jerome Agel.
It is an awesome work.
Merry Chistmas!
