I along with Cesar Majano and Noe Mendozza spent two days filming in and around the College of Technology. Originally, I wanted to create a bad movie trailer, and eventually, the idea morphed into a sort of parody of the Twilight Zone, where it wanted to take itself seriously, but things kept happening. I wanted to highlight movement in the project, and since we had a dolly, I made a chase sequence as well as a rotating scene to create tension.

A small snag I ran into when I was putting the project together was that I only had 2 and a half minutes of film and the project required a minimum of 4. So, the solution I came up with was to slow some of the footage and ADR over it later. I also found a voice change app that not only altered my voice, but slowed it down, and I used the audio over the slowed-down parts. To add more time I used an image I found, slowed it down, and added another voiceover to that and when it was all done, my project was complete.
