I figured that this would be the best place to post this since it deals with the office.
I'm the president of the Asian Students Association at Arizona State University. Every year ASU holds an Asian Culture Nite and most every Asian club on campus is required to do some sort of performance.
This year, we decided to do a video loosely based on The Office.
I'm not spamming the forums or anything but since we just uploaded the video onto youtube, I figured that I would share it with you guys here. For those interested, here's the link to part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCfsGbFz18c
It's not a complete parody of the Office. I just tried to mimic the mock-documentary filming that they do and have a couple of people resemble some of the characters of the Office. This was filmed for our school so some of you probably won't understand all of the humor unless you're somehow involved with the asian community at ASU.
And some background stuff on the video:
-Planning for it originally started in November but we didn't start filming until the week before the Culture Nite.
-That week was particularly a bad one. Most of the filming took place right after a dragon boat competition. You might notice in some scenes we're noticeably tanner.
-With all the original footage, the video would've been around 40 minutes. Since we were only allowed 20 minutes at the Culture Nite, I had to cut a lot of the stuff out. Also, some of the tape was damaged by the camcorder (which also died on us a couple of times). The version I linked to was the one we aired at the Culture Nite. This would explain why it's really choppy at some parts, either it had to be cut out because of time or the tape was damaged.
-The interview in the beginning is mostly true. Except for the
Finally, I know the video quality, editing, etc... is not that great. We're not a film club and I am not an aspiring filmmaker. This movie was made by amateurs so please be a little forgiving. This was the first time that I really wrote a screenplay, shot a movie, and used imovie.
Whew...now that that's out of the way, for those who watch it, I hope you enjoy the video.
