The Men in Black II DVD ROM side.
 
 

The project brief was to deliver a assorted batch of assets from the making of Men in Black II in an interesting way. Working with Company Wide Shut, I proposed to create the experience as a fictitious subplot of the movie. One of the characters in the film is accidentally catapulted in an MIB escape pod into a "nano-verse" that is inhabited by various aliens. You then take the role of this character and fly the space craft around the nano-verse. To escape from the nano-verse you much collect all the "data" from the planets and alien craft. The "data" was the assorted assets (images, video and the screenplay) and could be viewed as "in flight entertainment". It could also be printed out.
