In an effort to keep creative minds working during the quarantine, a DIY project called “Project 88- Back to the Future Part Too” was launched, which is a shot for shot remake of “Back to the Future Part II” made by various fans. Here is the official YouTube description:
The idea was to split the movie into 88 scenes and find people from around the world to recreate those scenes using whatever they had on hand during the various stay-at-home and physical distancing guidelines that were in place at the time (March 2020). Each team was given 1 week to complete their scene.
We were blown away by the creativity that this spawned! We ended up with over 300 people from 9 different countries contributing to the project! This “movie” contains actors of all ages and experience levels (including some fun cameos from the original actors of Back to the Future 2), puppets, animation, original music, cats, dogs, and even one scene performed entirely by bananas.
The best part of this process is that so many people told us after completing their scenes, that it was the best part of their week, or that it helped them take their minds of all of the craziness that is going in the world for even just a few hours.
We really hope you enjoy the “movie” and that maybe it inspired you to do something fun and creative as well!
We know that these are challenging times for people all over the world, but if you have the means to help out those in need, please do so. Millions of vulnerable children are losing the healthy meals they depend on as the coronavirus closes schools nationwide, you can help by donating to No Kid Hungry.
The quality of each scene varies incredibly, from basic animation, to stop motion LEGO to real actors with an actual replica Delorean to toddlers playing the roles. It’s a pretty fun video, and an idea we hope spreads.
