The idea of watching and controlling someones life is a heavy influence in this video game, as it is in our film. Where our film hides the fact the protagonist is trapped in a fictional world, this game plays off of this idea. Stanley, like David, leads an ordinarily repetitive life, and the plot follows how he deals with change, similarly to Davids near discovery of his fictional home.
Jack and Dean are two popular film makers, who focus mainly on comedy sketches. Their cinematography inspired some of our film's shots, such as the crane shot and the use of simple special effects.
Pj Liguori's Short Film "Office Space"
Again, Pj Liguori's film influenced our plot and storyline. His main character is tired of doing the same job everyday, and tries to escape the boredom he encounters. The repetitive nature of this characters life, working in an office building and encountering only a few people gave us the a main outline of where to set our story, as well as solidifying our choice to use a limited number of characters.
