Creation Time: Shot in 2.5 hours on a Thursday night, edited over the next two evenings, and then shown on Sunday at message time. A lot of work in a short period of time, but I thought it turned out rather well. Be sure to check the bloopers as well!

Storyline

Theatrical trailer for an epic adventure film, Sewer Wars. Created as a trailer for our church finance drive after unplanned sewer work. The story revolves around young Luke Bowlscruber who finds out he is a Plunger Knight. It's up to him and SaniFlush Kanobi to answer the request of a delightful princess and battle the evil Lord Sewer Debt.

Description

This film was really fun to create, even with such a short time to work on it. I relly love working with members from our church on projects like this. Everyone seems to have a great time. On a techie note, I had intended to shoot this in 30P, but I accidentally powered down my camera after I'd made the change and the settings weren't saved. Not the first time or the last time this will happen to me. Still turned out very nice.
