<b>The Story of George</b> is a short film entirely made up using footage from television commercials. These ads got something in common: George Clooney as the main protagonist.</div>
<br />
<b>The Idea</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One day I was watching the telly with my girlfriend, when an ad appeared that featured George Clooney. She turned to me and said: 'There are so many commercials with George Clooney that they could make a whole movie out of it'. That's when the idea came up, and I thought: why not me?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Process</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to make the movie I collected all the ads I could find on the internet. Then I wrote a synopsis, and edited the stuff according to it. Because of the different features of the footages (16:9 vs. 4:3, colour vs. bw) I decided to add a vintage look to the whole as an organic design. The narration is also displayed on title cards just like in case of silent movies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The question of copyright</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I downloaded the raw material for this film from sources without any copyright notice or warning. Note that I have no financial benefits from this project - this is only a narrative experiment (making one coherent movie out of different types of material only linked by one common feature: the main character). This is only for amusement, and I did not intend to violate anybody's rights, therefore I refered to the cast and the represented brands of the original commercials in the credits. After all it's only a new choice of publicity for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
