Philosophy: They want to recreate every Oscar winning movie in history in full virtuality. Reality: Originally, it started out as a brother-sister organization. Donna Burns (Lens) was a V-Punk and her younger brother Zachary (Drummerboy) was a Soaper. After Zachary managed to get his hands on a copy of an uncut copy of Schindler's List, both of them decided that they had a mission. They ignored the abridged versions and began to recreate the classic, uncensored Oscar winners. It is very slow going, but they have managed to gather a number of other helpers. Currently, there are 6 V-punks, 1 Soap, 1 Vidiot, and 1 DataHound. All of them are working hard to bring the films to life as the director would have wanted. Unfortunately, original copies are hard to come by, and a full work in virtuality that remains true to the original work can take up to four months to complete. Many of the V-punks also have a sideline working on other nominees, notable independent films, and so forth, but the focus is on the winners before the year 2000. They are always on the lookout for original copies or complete scripts, but they dislike constant interruptions. Their current projects include Ben-Hur and
The Last Emperor. They have completed Schindler's List, Titanic, and Shakespeare in Love.
