  • Sorry about the issues in part 1, OpenShot doesn't show it in the timeline but does when exported. One might ask, "If the channel named That Look has uploaded all of these in 1080p, why make this?", but if you have two monitors and view the same second-ish side by side, you'll see that even though this is 720p, it is much clearer. If you look at 0:55 you can see the crispness on UNKNOWN MALE 282 compared to • Video

    Watching them back to back, you notice that the host becomes filthier and his suit becomes increasingly damaged. He also goes through a small character arc of
    - Being in control
    - Losing control
    - Relying devotedly on the Regulations _(Blessed Be The Regulations)_ and the rules of the gameshow
    - Trying desperately to maintain his contestants' morale
    - Having a breakdown when Shiela is killed over his joke
    - Finally losing hope once They all die

    I love all the little touches, like the Host wearing an incredibly 80s suit - probably because it was in storage for years and survived The Event, Sheila wearing the clothes of a supermarket worker, probably what she was doing that when it happened. The fact it’s being filmed on old style cameras and has transmission problems, because the power grid is unstable, probably being run by just a few people. The clips and photos they show are all from film, probably because it was stored safely and not destroyed by any potential radiation and EMP from the Event. Most people are blinded by the event, but Peter was blinded by raiders like some apocalyptic Mad Max situation. The conveyor belt scene has all the people going past in quasi-fascist military uniforms that suggests there’s some rudimentary form of government, probably a dictatorship ruling by control of food. Everyone seems to have lost the concept of time because they’re not really sure how long they’ve been in there, or even what a month is.
    I think whatever happened involved nuclear and radiation, and what’s left of humanity lives underground. Nearly everybody is infertile due to irradiation, and there’s no children so the population remaining is slowly dying.
