Whenever there was a little time to kill I often found myself working on some sort of ad. To be honest I had a lot of fun thinking up funny slogans and commercials. The following films were made towards the end of production, after I had lost my place in both the art and the story department and for the most part was sitting around the office killing time, waiting for my contract to expire. It was a last ditch effort on my part to try and contribute something to the film. It didn’t go anywhere but I had a lot of fun making them and I hope you enjoy them as well.
My pitch for the add campain was to show the main character ham in a series of very bad nasa system test videos where everything goes wrong. To our delight pour ham gets put through the ringer.
Jetpack Testing
Space Suit Testing
Bladder Testing
Here are the original thumbnails as well.

think these next three clips may give some insight into the sort of film I had running around my head in the early days. They are really really old, slopy, and fun. We used clips like these to help sell the film to investors before the film was defined and everything was still on the table. I still love the energy. Thanks to Devin Westberg for doing the voices!
