Here's an inventive concept for a film project (preview after the jump): Ridley Scott Associates recruited five different directors-Greg Fay, Jake Scott, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch, and the animators Hi-Sim-to each create a short film using one set of dialogue. The results are five dynamically different short films called Parallel Lines.

00:00/00:0000:00

I'm really, really looking forward to this one. Each director has such a different vision.

Via Boing Boing.
