[TWP01] Luck

So I guess this will be the official post talking about the first Wonderment. Luck was written by myself with some help from Bryan and Eli. It starred myself and Ivy Hong, who did a fantastic job! Eli and Alison Howe were working the cameras, and Bryan was taking care of everything else. Bryan was also the editor.

Check it out.

Anyhoooo, it's about luck. And how it's real. It's basically what I really think about the subject. I actually wrote it years ago when Bryan first suggested this project. It just popped into my head, wrote it that night, and sent it over to him. Two years (Something like that?) later, we dusted it off and actually shot it. Pretty weird. I originally wrote it a bit like old sci-fi stories (And poorly written recent ones), where one character goes off on long explanations and the other person just sits there egging them on or saying "But that's impossible!" Like the opening scene in The Time Machine. Bryan helped fill out the ambiance of the story and Ivy did a great job adding character where it was lacking.

For all the math buffs! Before you get up in arms at me let me explain!

33.2 coin flips isn't a very nice round number (Necessary to get to 1 in 10 billion for any given person to get all heads), but I still wanted to be able to say 50/50 a lot. So that got fudged. And I guess that "50/50 chance that there is one person" should be "50/50 chance that there is at least one person." 50/50.
