This short Die Hardly Working was created for the FOX reality show On The Lot by Zach Lipovsky who ended up as one of the finalist. Being a visual effects specialist most of his films on the show contained some sort of visual effects, this film was relatively effects free. It uses a similar idea to one used in Spaced where the actors prentend to fight with imaginary weapons. In this one two coworkers have an imaginary fight with guns, bows and arrows, swords in a fight to the death. I love the premise and execution of this idea by Zach and although his other films on the show were great this is probably my favourite.
