Wonkavision presents: Large Hadron Collider

My first thought for a Large Hadron Collider mashup was apocalyptic, but as I started work on it I realized I didn’t want to unnecessarily scare myself or others. A reference to particles somehow triggered an odd memory in my head: the scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where Mike Teavee can’t resist shooting himself in Wonkavision.

With Wonkavision and the Hadron Collider as my starting point, I put together the above mashup, which includes a bit of Stephen Hawking and music from the There Will Be Blood score by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood.
