We started off this project by tossing around ideas. We thought of all different things, but the one that seemed to stick was a DPA promotional video. We wanted to include all kinds of absurd things that could be composited in. We threw around ideas, and Dan compiled them all into an initial script.

With a solid idea, we got together and did the initial filming. Kevin was the primary camera man, although Ashley and Celu both filmed scenes as well. During filming, we placed blue markers as best we could to assist in tracking. Luckily we had the perfect star for the film, Ashley! We also had a great supporting cast with Kiel and Celu.
After filming was completed, we divided up the scenes and got to work. Compositing took us about a week. After initial compositing Kevin put it together in a reel and added sound effects and a voice track with Ashley.
Finally we put together this website documenting the process.
