Pseudo Post Apocalyptic Video - The Accidental Sea

[6milPhil]

The chap who made this film reckons it's post-apocalyptic, which it can't be of course, BUT it has some interesting stuff in it as well as a wealth of ideas for folk making apocalyptic scenics and the like.

Very good! It takes a bit to get started but it is really atmospheric, at times it looks remarkably like fallout 3 I think. A very cool find worth sharing!

[Dentatus]

That was fascinating. Thanks.

[Stavros Banjo]

Great discovery, thanks. Only problem is that it's rekindled my enthusiasm to start some post-apocalyptic gaming. Maybe I should give my wallet to someone else to look after for a while

Watch out not safe for work:

Just watched it through again, the wrinkly old dude who made the sculpture is naked in the film, only fleetingly, but fleetingly enough!!

Slightly more people living there than our first filmmaker indicated, but looks a mad arse fallout inspirational fun hell hole.

Now where's my Pipboy routefinder....

That one made me  

What a great set of pics!

scary thing is that Akky would probably try it 

[6milPhil]

Good call on the doco... any idea how to make the viddy bigger?
They've some crap merchandise over @ http://www.plaguesandpleasures.com/shop/catalog/
You can buy a jar with bits of dead fish in it...

Or if you're feeling flush a whole dead fish

I reckon the Chinese need Akky, even his built to fail apart Arica Bay buildings were more solid.

Salton Sea?  Oh My, flashback time!  I grew up in California and actually passed through as a small child.  Wow, the Law of Unintended Consequences at work!

A little too close to home for me...

Gracias,
