Our Final Days
I did an apocalyptic video a few months ago, about the end of our world. I cooked up a simple storyline about a scientific experiment gone terribly wrong… the LHC (Large Hadron Collider that is to be ignited in Mid 2008) created a black hole that slowly sucked up our solar system. I did this using clips from documentars and movies, mostly bbc. I also edited it to appear like an alien documentary on how we humans blew ourselves up. I chose Clint Mansell – The Last Man as soundtrack and synthesized all the other sounds. I don’t believe such a thing might happen and I don’t even care. It is beyond my technical understanding so I leave that to the real specialists – the scientists! 600 000 views and rising…
Here’s the textual intro I wrote for that “alien documentary”:
This is the story of Earth,
a 4.4 billion year old planet, 100 000 light years away.
It was once a rare oasis of life,
and birthplace to an ancient and now extinct civilization – Humans.
A long, long time ago,
Humans dominated their home world
and through the use of technology.,
they discovered many of the Universe’s secrets.
Then, an experiment took place in Cern,
in mid 2008 – in Earth’s calendar.
Its purpose was to prove the existence
of an elusive and fundamental particle of the Universe
by many refered to as GOD particle.
The results of that experiment were devastating,
causing a rip in the universal fabric.
Within moments gravity colapsed
giving rise to a massive black hole
that slowly engulfed their entire star system,
thus wiping out their entire civilization.
Our knowledge of them
comes from their radio signals,
which are still travelling to the far corners of the galaxy.
