Justin Cone's Layer 4 Commentary

1.21 Jigawatts

So far, every lob of the video has created a narrative twist that would give M. Night Shyamalan a run for his money.

Quick recap: An evil pyramid from space has attacked a time-traveling Delorean, which somehow triggered a rain of blood. (To make matters worse, Doc's probably an atheist. That certainly doesn't help.)

Which brings us here: DK has decided to use a variation of the old "it was all just a dream" trick to backpedal out of this manically spiraling story.

Or have they?

I see Doc's modified fusion (or was it fission?) reactor from Back to the Future 2, along with Marty's hover-board. But we're in metaphorical space, the land of pure motion graphics. To prove it, the phrase "1.21 Jigawatts" is all we're left with at this scene's conclusion. Werk has their werk (ha) cut out for them.

My prediction for the next round: Werk will reveal the long and difficult equation used to power time-traveling Deloreans. (Please let me be right. I've been so patient all my life.)

Tomorrow we continue our series of live, experimental Layer Tennis Exhibitions with a motion graphics match between Matt Smithson and Daniel Oeffinger. As usual, the action starts at 2pm Chicago time. Check the time in your area. What is unusual is that the match won't finish until next Thursday. We'll be posting two layers per weekday. We've always wondered what would happen if we gave a couple artists a lot more time to do each volley and this week we'll find out. Commentary is by Jason Koxvold, who knows a little something about LYT and mo-graf. Jason's Match Preview has been posted and so has the coin-flip. jc-today
