7 years ago I made a comedy sketch poking fun at Siri the voice assistant. I got two of my friends to join me, one actor and one to help me behind the camera (this friend has no film background). Looking at this today is pretty much a cringe fest, it looks pretty terrible, with next to no production value.
But the main idea of the sketch stayed with me.
Fast forward till today, I decided to remake it, but this time using all the bells and whistles I could conjure up. Meaning: A full crew, filming with anamorphic lenses on an Arri Alexa, rent a big house, fly in an actor from LA (to Oslo, Norway, where we filmed), build a bomb(!), do post-production in a professional post production house and also get a composer to do the score. All this for a sketch about a guy in a sofa whose taken hostage by Siri, because he swapped his iphone for an Android phone. Silly stuff :-P
Hope you like it! If you want to see the original for comparison here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_NBhJVWIJc
