The Importance of a Paper Towel

Hannah and Timothy make dinner, and learn from a wise hobo the importance of a paper towel.

This marks a momentous occasion for all of us. It is our longest short to date, clocking in at about 6 minutes; it features more props, costumes, makeup, lighting rigs, and misc equipment then all our previous efforts combined. Due to scheduling conflicts and weather, filming took about three weeks. Due to school conflicts, post-production took about three days. This was also going to be our first short with external audio, but the process of recording proved too time consuming for our deadline. Shots that were never meant to have live sound had to use the noisy in-camera recordings just to keep things sensible. In retrospect, this particular script was far more than we (especially the director) were ready for, but it stands as a sort of learning experience... To never bite off more than you can chew!
