Anyhow. I was bored. So..yes. X-Files parody..thing. Complete with colonpipe.com references aplenty. Quicktime format. 1.2MB.

Here're a bunch of screengrabs of it, and what the hell they are (images on the right are the real thing, where available):
 
Fade in from black. The background waves a little bit, the shadowy colonpipe in the middleground moves to the side a little, the "THE :| FILES" text drifts to the left.
 
Replaced with colonpipe. As in the original, it moves a step for each of four beats in the music. Text in the bottom corner reads "REALLY SECRET VIDEO OOPS" and some random numbers and chat text.
Orginally a purple-tinted hallway shot as if it's from a security camera. Now it's an ineffectual glide down a 2-D photograph as Chris gurns into view holding a poorly photoshopped firearm! And apparently the government denies this. I would, too.
 
These turned out kinda cool. "Camera" drifts over them, dissolves to the next one, etc. Found the image on Google, just in case the FBI is wondering.
 
Traced around my own hand for this. I don't remember which actual segment is red in the original. I think it's the same one. The falling man is Dan, spinning and quite blurry.
 
Dan returns in the only segment that kinda lets this thing down a bit, in that I didn't really have a decent front-on and possibly screaming photograph of anyone to make wobble and distort. So Dan, who most will agree is suitably freaky enough to begin with, got the part.
This turned out quite cool. Snapped two photos with my digital camera, one of my eye open, one of it closed. Changed the colours about a bit, overlaid the red, made the camera drift towards it as per every other segment. Timed the blinks to coincide with the thuds in the music, all worked pretty well.
This is the only part that I think looks better than the original. It's all 2-D photos flogged off of Google, but the subtle drifting effect in the clouds makes it all look pretty dimensional and altogether spiffy. Then, for the final insult:
 
And that's that.
..
This one was omitted because it turned out looking stupid:
 
It turned out looking like a shadow puppet. So I ditched it.
