Jesse James McElroy on
Pickle Puppetry and Prosthetics
"With 3–4 hours of prosthetics for the characters, complicated choreography, pickle puppetry, a fireball, and running sprinklers inside, pulling this off in just two shoot days was a massive challenge. Instead of storyboarding, I filmed the choreography rehearsals shot by shot. That process gave us a living blueprint something we could refine in real time and eventually mirror on set, beat for beat - basically a music video in disguise." - Jesse James McElroy, director
