Antarctic Film Festival 2012 - Taking one for the team

The weekend before last was the annual 48 hour Antarctica film festival.  What this entails is each Antarctic base making a 5 minute film within 48 hours.  To keep everyone honest 5 items (to be featured in the film) is given on the starting time and 48 hours later everyone's film needs to be uploaded.  The items were: a queen, a computer mouse, the sound of ice cracking, the phrase "I will save you" and a map of our area.

Our team's idea was based on the movie Zombieland.  We tried to sketch the effects of long term seclusion in Antarctica.  A condition called T3 allegedly makes you forgetful after some months on the ice.  I have not noted a mentionable increase in my own forgetfulness but maybe I am working off a high base value.  The acting was more or less what you would expect from technically inclined folk so keep your expectations low.  I also made my big screen debut in this film but preliminary feedback suggests I keep my day job. 

Follow the link if you want to watch.  Some of the other stations came up with real funny ideas.
