We've been filming MIT Spinning Arts' fire shows for years (previously as Student Cable), and Novemburn is one of their fieriest. Check out all the 2023 Novemburn videos here.

Shot with Lumix G6 and 28-75mm lens. Shot and edited by Isabella Yu '24.

Produced jointly by the MIT Film Making Club and MIT CSSA, this story narrates how a robotic dog assists its owner using hardcore AI technology to fetch papers and roses, ultimately winning over a girl. Comedy is our main goal! However, amidst the humor, we also aim to convey that life, whether human or canine, is personal. It's crucial not to lose oneself in acts of altruism and self-congratulation, as self-fulfillment through ability and effort is equally important. Additionally, one shouldn't overly rely on "life advice" from marketing accounts on social media, which often don't offer genuinely valuable insights.
