8tv Dramedy (Episode 5)

Note: No more worries about expired links. A wonderful blogger, mob1900, has offered to host all of the Dramedy files from his server. Much gratitude to him!

For those who missed out on it on the 8TV Quickie last month, here is the fifth of seven teeny weeny episodes of 'A Better Change'. Each file will be around 20MB in MPEG format and lasts a little less than two minutes.



Mark, the guy who played 'Steven' in the original commercial, was not involved in the Dramedy production. He was replaced by a make-do body double, Peter the creative director.

The picture of Steven and Karina was never taken - he was superimposed into an old photograph. Ah, the marvels of graphic manipulation.

The trophies belong to 8TV; what the awards were for, I can't recall, but I reckon one of them belonged to Peter for Cornball Employee of the Year. For the flirting scene, bad pickup lines were rolling off his tongue as though he held a goddarn degree in it. I was holding a refrigerated slice of kaya-banana pizza, an alleged leftover from the night before. Putting my life out on the line, I got greedy after the scene and ate it.
