Sink Babies
Sink Babies is a short video created by Carlin and Nick. The premise for the video stems from the idea of videotaping the 'birth' of a batch of sponge animals that emerge from tiny plastic capsules when immersed in water. Unbenownst to us, the 'Sink Babies' take a very, very long time to hatch, and thus some fast-forward magic and a little upbeat tune (composed by Carlin for the film) accompany the footage.

Lab Report
Hypothesis: Sink Babies will begin to emerge from plastic coatings within a few minutes and grow into cute, spongey animals.
Observations: This was, in fact, completely not true.
Other Observations:
- The results of the animals as identified by color were incorrect. The yellow was not a giraffe, the green was not a turtle, and the blue was not a rhino.
- Animals were also not easily identifiable in sponge form even when fully extended.
- Animals needed to be stirred.
- Certain animals were attracted as if magnetically to each other, hence the video footage at the end where two green animals still in pill shape join together to embrace (or attack, however you want to look at it. what? we're not scientists or nothin') the blue seahorse.
- The inclusion of the blue 'Grow-A-Boyfriend' did nothing to hinder or aid our results.
Conclusion: Sink Babies are delightful, and we hope you enjoy them.

It was like a miracle, the way they pecked their way out of the shells. Or something.
I'm glad these are the only babies being made by any of us.
Grow-a-Boyfriend is an awkward addition to the collection. Seems kinda gross, when you think about it.
So, uh, all I kept thinking about was how nice and clean your sink looks, and that your sink stopper works well. You're a lucky girl.
what animal was giving the grow-a-boyfriend fellatio at the end?
this reminded me of playing at my friend TJ's house in 3rd grade, doing much the same thing...but we kept the spongey results in the water too long (according to TJ's possibly overcritical parents), so they ended up losing form and kinda just falling apart. at least that's what i thought was happening, until looking at your video now!
clearly the capsule critters are at fault and TJ's parents are mean.
i can't even deal with how cute this is. i don't think you look much like a seahorse though... maybe nick needs some glasses.
