Rubber Johnny (Original, Short Version)

Rubber Johnny is a 6 minute experimental short film, directed by Chris Cunningham. The short was initially intended for the purpose of TV promo for the band, The Ahpex Brother new album, however Cunningham decided to expanded the piece to a feature length short. The short contains explicit content and shock imagery, which coincides with the underlying narrative of the story. Rubber Johnny, within the short is a shape shifting 'deformed' young person who is trapped in a basement.
The film uses multi- effects and experiments with fluorescent light and night vision, it makes the short very creative and innovative. I found Rubber Johnny to be an interesting and engaging short film. I feel its an experimental short which displays codes and conventions of many different media formats within one and showcases future trends.
