Abandoned Project #43: TweetSketch

Written by Sarah Cooper on Monday, January 19, 2009

A few months after getting into Twitter, I realized that some of these tweets would make excellent short films. Like, really short films. So I came up with the idea of TweetSketch, where I would take my favorite tweets and turn them into little movies. The first (and only) one I did was a little video based on this tweet: “Reggae music is awesome for five minutes,” which I thought was hilarious. And here below is the fruit of that one (un)inspired moment:

The other short films I had planned were going to be based on these other tweets:

“This macaroni necklace my daughter made me tastes like garbage. Fuck this Montessori bullshit.” - Link

“I keep a list of potential blog post ideas. It seems I wrote “Blabacus the Blogging Abacus” on the list. I have no idea what that means.” - Link

“Whoa, shred WAY too much cheese for our dinner tonight. If you or someone you love needs shredded cheese, contact me IMMEDIATELY.” - Link

“Clicking through to see people’s twitter icons full size and realizing that they look nothing like I thought they did at 48 pixels.” - Link

“I can only take so much sexual innuendo on a menu at a burger joint. Yes, I’m looking at you, Weiners ‘n Buns Hot Lunch in Your Box.” - Link
