Food Pirates

Winter 2000
One evening after S.E.X. at Phi Tau Coeducational Fraternity I decided to take out my graduation present (a cool Canon GL1 digital video camera) and make short film with some friends. I had been playing around with rotoscoping light saber effects, so we decided to do a short light saber scene.

We casted our friends in appropriate rolls based on their desire to eat and attack, and began the filming. It was a lot of fun (and we only broke one light bulb :). The basic plot was one of Andrew stealing Jefferson's crackers and the ensuing light saber battle. After Andrew's escape he steal's innocent Heather's banana and she kills the pursuing Jefferson by accident. All in all it was a lot of fun! (However, the rotoscoping took FOREVER!)
