This is supposed to parody old educational films by being in black and white with projector noise, but why is the aspect ratio 2.35?

[VolatileChemical]

Okay well now see the thing is there's a very good explanation behind that. Uh...clearly...it was a commentary on the anachronistic nature of modern society.

You know, with the modern need and attempts of kids to recognize and express their sexuality, as represented by the aspect ratio, juxtaposed against the antiquated social attitudes of many parents and young people, as represented by the picture and sound quality.

Either that, or I forgot to switch the settings on my camera before I shot it.

OMG loved that! Laughed the whole time. "studies have shown that most parents pay absolutely no attention to their kids" lol sooo true.

"Silver lining." Love it! Well done.

Because my name is Trevor, they are just asking for it.
