FINALLY!
(Goooood Lorrrrrrd)

TORTURED
A comedy so dark it might not be seen.

Nobody is happy with their situation.
It's just torture.
Dr. Hackemoff's sleep is interrupted.
Special Agent Jack Goff's methodical process is being interfered with.
Director Merle Lester's methodology is no longer appreciated - even though it's effective.
Poor ol' Hamed Ali's about to give up his buddy Abdullah Ahmed.
And Ali's associates... well... their day is done with pretty quick.

The important part to remember is that you need to pay attention to the audio balance from left-to-center-to-right.

And that's my voice for Dr. Hackemoff, SA Goff, and Dir. Lester, which means I had to monkey with pitch & timber, add that bathroomy/dungeon chamber echo, and give it that cellphone quality, too.

The audio is waaaaay more important than the visual aspects, which I tried to:
· Keep level
· Be mindful of highlight and shadow contrast blowouts
· Maintain some remote interest in composition.

Enjoy!

FWIW, this is an adaptation of the political horror short 'Means To An End' I wrote using 'Porky's Garden' (#3) as a template.
