Intention

When I was thinking of ideas for this project, I recalled a funny scene in an episode of Community, in which the writers added in a short montage of romantic moments between two of the main characters. This montage was based on an actual fan-made video that had been posted to Youtube the previous year. They continued to make fun of it throughout the episode, claiming that any two characters could appear as though they were in a romantic relationship, as long as their interactions were slowed down and put against a slow romantic song. This scene can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW5Wtvj2Ivg

For my creative project, I want to follow a similar idea - make a "romantic" video from two characters who share no romantic relationship at all. I plan on using two of the main characters from The Office - Jim and Dwight - since this is one of my favorite TV shows and there's a lot of material to find clips from. If you look on Youtube, there are a ton of popular fan-made videos that are focused on romantic relationships in TV shows and movies. I want to try making one of these videos, but changing the way that the relationship between Jim and Dwight is presented, since I definitely agree that our perception of a relationship between two people is very heavily influenced by the context in which we view their interactions.
