side dish

here it is! the product of a quarter's worth of planning and about 14 hours of shooting last sunday/monday. it was genuinely interesting to learn about everyone and everything that goes into making a single commercial from start to finish.

here is the cut our class (kind of) agreed upon on wednesday during our field trip to markenfilm.

and the director's cut.

No sea creatures were harmed during the making of this video.

interesting tidbits: we had to dub over the main actor's voice with kunal's because his english grammar wasn't correct. 'der speigel' is german for 'the mirror,' which is a famous magazine in hamburg. their canteen, our shooting location, has remained pretty much the same since the 1970s.
