Topic: !@#$ Johnson: TSA Wunderkind!

Hey guys! Check out my new satirical short film, !@#$ Johnson: TSA Wunderkind!

I made this for an $10,000 film making contest being put on by Alex Jones and InfoWars. I only decided to enter at the very last minute, so this was written, shot, and edited in just 5 days.

Check it out by clicking on the picture below:

I'll have get round to watching your film later...

But anyway out of interest, are you the same David West that invented the concept of THACs and hosted the first one?

Yep, that's me! I didn't really invent the concept, but I did help work on the rules and stuff for the first one.

Re: !@#$ Johnson: TSA Wunderkind!

I just watched this and I found it pretty stinkin' funny.
Travis Wolf had the perfect comedic timing and body expression for the role, he's great.
The cinematography looked nice and the audio and music choices fit very well.
My only complaint would be that the audio quality had a quick change in how it was picking up the voice at about about 5:20.

The entire concept was great, it was perfect as a satirical film on resisting NSA and TSA tyranny!

Yeah, whoever was holding the mic there didn't have it pointed as directly at his mouth as I'd instructed them to, and unfortunately there's no way to audio-monitor on a DSLR. Usually I'd ADR something like that but it wasn't really possible in this situation given that that whole scene was only shot about 24 hours before the deadline.

Re: !@#$ Johnson: TSA Wunderkind!

This is very funny satire... but an alert to the BiM  community should be in order that there is some adult content.  i watched it  and  laughed heartily.   I  also like the 1970s' throwback look and sound to it.  I don't buy the lady as the mother of the young Johnson, though.  She must have had him when she was 5!  I get the allusion at 4:48 to 4:58  to Claire McCaskil's document about on "terrorists".  A reference to that same document is in the script to ep 4 of my series.  Also,  my band's in the process of recording an EP, and we're in the middle of recording a parody of Ronnie &  The Daytonas' "Little GTO" called "TSA" that you may like.  We just have to record the vocals, mix & it's done.  I'll send you a copy when it's done.
