Early 2005. Adarsh, Madura and I were given an English assignment on whether Reality TV is actually real. We made this video. It's a trailer for a fictional Survivor series. (Un)fortunately, the silly laptop could not play MPEG files and so not many kiddies saw it (during class presentation). But here it is. Note the poor quality in all aspects of the film, which reflect our younger, carefree more juvenile selves many years ago. Also, I had just discovered a program called Photoshop and Windows Movie Maker. Yeah, and it's supposed to be satirical. It's not racist! Heck, one of our 'actors' (Madura) *is* Sri Lankan. Cheers.
TRANSCRIPT:
0:12 - "Mmmm... Lanka."
0:24 - "Just to make the game a bit more interesting."
0:30 - "Welcome to Survivor Lanka, I am Sanath Jayasuriya, your host. First, you must split yourselves into two teams."
0:37 - "The selection of characters will most likely create conflict. More the reason to watch!"
0:42 - "Who knows, we may only be showing you the negative things John Howard does... just to give him an image."
0:48 - "The aftermath of the race: George Bush won! Just look at his immunity! Osama isn't looking to good, will they fight?"
0:55 - "So watch out for Survivor Lanka, you'll love it!"
0:58 - "Also, watch out for Survivor Lanka Uncut to see what really happens in Survivor."
1:02 - "Nothing is *cough* edited."
1:06 - "And while you are at it, try Dilmah tea, do try it."
