| Description: | News in Brief: England, Seasickness, Home Grown. Seasickness has always been a bitter pill to swallow, but now hardy British soldiers volunteer for tests to determine efficacy of new seasick pills. Tossed about on artificial ocean, the volunteers don't all arrive. Soldier swallows pill. The volunteers climb into tent-like crafts and launch into a wave machine, which starts producing waves. POV from inside one of the tent-like things as it rocks on the waves, a very sea-sick, nauseating subjective view. Comedy shot (staged): one sailor sits smoking a pipe, his cap next to him, when another staggers over and sits down, looks like he might hurl; the first bloke picks up his hat so that it doesn't look like a seasick bag to his pal. | |
