* The WebVideo/CorridorDigital short ''WebVideo/ToTheDeath'' is about a student at a futuristic LaserSword fighting school who needs to duel and defeat one of the school's teachers in order to graduate. In the first attempt the student is struggling with his nervousness, in the second he's lashing out due to pain, fear, and anger, by the fourth he's gotten cocky and is treating the whole thing as a game. Before the fifth and final attempt he takes a few seconds to meditate, calming his breathing and mind. With a calm mind, he finally manages to find a way to defeat the teacher.
