I really wanted to make something involving puppets in some way shape or form. When the opportunity came up to make whatever I wanted, I knew I had to jump on the chance to make something that plays to my strengths. I thought that by making it a period piece, I could challenge myself to make something I never have before. The whole experience was a ton of fun and I’m glad I could make something that looks cool!

Overall, the project went smoothly, with us wrapping on our second day hours ahead of schedule. However, there were some large hurdles we had to overcome to get to that point.The location was absolutely one of them, as the distance from campus wasn’t an issue, but it being right next to a main road meant the audio consistently would have loud trucks run through mid take. On top of that, there is an elementary school across the street, so kids screaming was something else to look out for. We also shot outside in the sun for most of the second part of the shoot, so having to stop to go inside and take breaks was necessary but slowed things down.
