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.

Thanks a lot! If you want to dig deeper, this is a great place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_signal_hijacking The first link in "Further Reading" has another link to an old Reddit AMA with a guy claiming he knew who did it. Really interesting.
