The Inconvenient Sleuth

Vincenze posted a little while ago about a competition being run by Treehugger. The competition, entitled Convenient Truths: a green video contest called for entrants to make a video which was “an actionable, inspiring follow-up to the movie.”

Well Vincenze and I got together and made a video. What else are two bored kids to do at 2 am on a Monday morning right?

Entries close on Feb 28 then there are a few rounds of voting, after which we WILL be chosen the victors :-)

Behold episode one of . . . The Inconvenient Sleuth.

    Wow I’m impressed!! I like how you used a mixture of humour and such simple drawings (with quick changes) to tell your story – which ultimately has a serious message. What a great idea! For me it resembled the animation of Whatshisname? on the Seinfeld DVDs…where he animates through drawing some short scene of an episode.

    Great job boys! You make me proud :)

    Love it! You should’ve entered it into TropFest. hehe.

    BTW do you need me to bring anything on Sat.? Or I can make some sort of dessert. Not sure if the Mrs is coming yet either so I need to figure out how to get there.

    Because of your little movie here, now I always say, “I need to put my laptop on standby… STANDBY!” and I say “STANDBY!” in your lady voice!

    See how influential you are? You better win the bloody contest.

    I noticed that ?uestlove from the Roots also submitted a vid. He’s in my Cool Book but I gotta say your vid is heaps more entertaining.

    And since we just so happened to both wear camo cargos the other night, you, my friend, are also in my Cool Book. ;)
