Synopsis

He's lazy, uninvolved and indecisive. She's loving, compassionate and dressed for the occasion. She's also heavily armed.

It's not the answer she was looking for. Watch the repercussions of getting a proposal so COMPLETELY wrong, it'll make your head explode.

Extreme marriage tactics

Background

I knew that I wanted to try to make a film to enter the Nokia 15 second competition this year, mostly because it should be damn easy to put together. You'd be surprised.

Last year's attempt never got made, and in most peoples eyes that's actually quite a good thing - it was called the Soggy Mobile and I got as far as drawing a storyboard and booking time with a rugby team (without they knowledge of what I wanted to do).

Anyway, it's a new year and a new set of ideas. This time I approached it with: 'what cool resources do I have' frame of mind. A bride's dress, a handgun and an 8 ball. Surely the makings of the perfect 15 second film?

Anyway, a short beer (okay, shandy) later with Steve, and we've got the plan. Here's the storyboard.

Okay, filming is done, took about 20 minutes, editing completed, about another 20 mins and in the end, Julie managed to get copyright permissions from Sony which I think is darn cool. Enjoy.
