Here’s another science-fiction short film that’s slightly more upbeat than the last one. It’s also a callback to a really creative video game franchise.
In case you didn’t already know, the end credits theme from the first Portal game is called “Still Alive.” It’s the story of the game from the point of view of the game’s antagonist, a sentient AI with ill intentions.
Now, imagine an orchestral arrangement of that song.
I’ve referenced this particular cover of the song a few times in the Data Driven podcast. It’s quiet catchy and uplifting despite the lyrics.
