A small WIP of a fragment for a piece I'm working on. Everything is 3D geometry in the form of a pin screen, with no post-production and using the original sound. 

A bit of context for the original source material:

Nov 22, 1987. Chicago. Doctor Who is airing. Suddenly, the screen melts into noise. A man in a Max Headroom mask appears. He mutters gibberish, mocks Coca-Cola, moans, then bends over to be spanked with a flyswatter. The station can’t stop it. 

The signal was overtaken using DIY tech, bypassing pro-level systems. No clear message, just chaos, distortion, and VHS noise. 35+ years later, the Max Headroom incident remains one of the eeriest unsolved moments in TV history.

Honestly now, mocking Coca Cola is unforgivable 😂 😂 😂 I mean, who does this? Must have been an alien 🤣 🤣 🤣

Apparently, it was put together by a group of kids tied to the phreaker scene in Chicago back in the day. Or at least that’s what some guy claimed in an old Reddit thread I read last night, though honestly, the way he told it, it felt more like he was trying to cover up some alien stuff. 😂 🙃 🖤

Dunno how they did it but it definitely sounds like something aliens could do lol 🤣 🤣 🤣  

And yes, I think it's hard and technically challenging. They probably had some serious knowledge about how to intercept the signal

Weird af, love it. 😂 😂 The whole topic of 'Broadcast Signal Intrusions' is fascinating. 🤓  It's a shame there aren't many documented cases, luckily this one was taped by a Doctor Who fan. I'm not very familiar with the technical details required to pull something like that off, but I believe it's no small feat. Besides the knowledge involved, I think they had to set up a transmission tower that could overpower the original signal. 🗼 📶
