Being stuck inside a camera is not exactly a situation we think about most of the time.

Fortunately, for the curious bystander, British film-maker David Packer has created this little video that depicts what life might be like when confronted with the menus of a digital camera. With a sense of humour that brings to mind Mr. Bean and the tone of a Jacques Tati film, the character "max x" ends up in a range of curious situations.

The films are broadcast on Germany's Deutsche Welle (DW) TV, but are also available online. Speaking with Imaging Resource, Packer said that he used to make films in his spare time before being picked up by DW.

We won't spoil too much of the fun, so watch the clip below to find out what life would be like inside a little box.
