Props

When you have a tiny crew, everyone does a bit of everything. That's one of the advantages of starting on small projects. Lots of hands-on experience.

Recently we had to build some things. Burgers. Fifteen.

First we had to come up with a name for our fast food restaurant chain, (how?)
then we had to design a logo.

then we had to create the burger wrappers.
The owner/manager of
Hamburger Stand
helped us with this.

We then set up an assembly line at home where three of us packaged 15 "burgers". Everything was edible but the burger itself, which was wooden!


We didn't want to buy real burgers that would have to be thrown away at the end of the day, but they couldn't be fake, because the scenes call for unwrapping real burgers. So we took real buns, real lettuce and a circular slice of wood to fill it out. Looked good on camera.



Two scenes call for the main character, Julio, entering a fast food place. We called it Dwiddles.
In one, he orders all the Big Dwiddies he can get for $60.


Call the Props Department!
We need about 15 burgers!


Now that's a Big Dwiddie!
