Nosferatu - A Laptop Before the Depression?

One of many "time-traveler" videos I produced for online magazine WordyMofo, using green screen compositing and Final Cut Studio. These went along with an article lampooning the infamous video of a woman attending a Charlie Chaplin premier in the 1920s and talking on what appeared to be a mobile phone. The article joked that, following the woman's example, future time travelers were inserting themselves into their favourite films. Here, an enterprising traveler has gone all the way back to the early days of cinema for a cameo with a laptop in FW Murnau's horror masterpiece Nosferatu.

Even if she was a time traveler, F.W. Murnau would fucking lose it on her if she was doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing on his set.

The device is even more remarkable, self-powered, requiring no electricity, self-contained and instantly prints out document. They were called "portable typewriters", oooo!

In those days, anyone of those dudes would have taken it from her and said, " I'll take that seeeeeeeee!"
