Digitally slowed down and processed. It's amazing how it humanises them in a way the jerky original film from that era doesn't. It feels like time travel....

About Ron Obvious

I got the nickname Ron Obvious because -- in addition to being a huge Python fan -- my name really is Ron and I used to start sentences with \"Obviously\" a lot. Obviously, that\'s no longer a problem.
