We thought we were being clever when we did this with a piece of paper and pencils at 4:00 am. Ups the ante, this does.

I really dig glamorgellons and would have liked to see where that goes, but the biker thing that comes right after it has nothing at all to do with what came before.
I used to participate in an Exquisite Corpse project online, where this same process occurred but with a still image broken up in parts. Things seemed to flow into each other better, even though each piece is different from the last, it doesn't feel as jarring to me as this does.
Well okay. It depends on the piece.
Just throwing in a wipe or filling the screen with green so you can erase the previous participants' effort and do your own thing is counterintuitive to the intent of giving the audience a more immersive experience. You can just jar the audience by cutting from one piece to another. That happens already. I mean why do something like this if you can't build on the predecessor's work and expand upon it? How is this different from just cutting random movies together?
Besides, the glamorgellons chick was hot. I'll always wonder what happened next. She didn't put on a scarf and go bike riding.

ZachsMind, I think all of them are split in half like that. It seems like there's 2 different production teams that work on each half to make sure they are as surreal as possible.
I just watched the first two and I must say.... TRIPPY
