When sitting down to discuss how we thought we should approach the competition, Erik, Karr, and I sat down to rough out the best course of action. We figured that, even though we'd only be turning in a trailer, we should plan out the entirety of a movie, so that we would have a large base to be able to pick and choose scenes from for our long (and short) trailer.
We brainstormed a few different ideas, but have settled on going forward with one that tries to re-write history a little. ;)
