KENT SHEELY: READY FOR ACTION #10

AMERICAN NEW MEDIA ARTIST KENT SHEELY HAS PRODUCED ANOTHER VIDEO IN THE ONGOING SERIES READY FOR ACTION. EMULATING THE STYLE OF CCTV FOOTAGE AND SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, SHEELY USES SEVERAL VIDEO GAMES TO CREATE SITUATIONS AT ONCE HUMOROUS AND SINISTER. 

Like the previous nine, the tenth installment features avatars at the mercy of public transportation. Audio from the game has been blended with audio captured while waiting for public transportation in the real world. This video was shot with Tom Clancy's The Division (Ubisoft, 2016).
