This is a film project we did in 12th grade for English. There is actually some interesting background information. The point of the project was to make our version of Beowulf (which we had been reading in class), with a certain set of literary devices that had to be incorporated. Believe it or not, the whole project was done on a whim, filmed in our high school cafeteria (Plano Senior High) on one school day afternoon. We didn't have any ideas. Then someone picked up a spoon that was lying around, and got the idea that the characters should be utensils. The whole project went from there. I hope you appreciate the theme we got going on (a nice breakfast theme). The project was edited by me, maybe taking at most two days. When we presented it, our group was pretty impressed with how things turned out. Till this day, this is still my favorite project. I've edited it a little when I dug it out recently, and have uploaded both the original, as well as the one I recently re-edited. The original had pretty soft audio, or uneven audio. The re-edited one also has a patch of uneven audio, unfortunately.

In case if you're wondering, we did torch the forks. It was done in the parking lot. Pretty sure we woulda gotten in trouble for that if any adults saw it happen. Sorry, I'm not going to say who actually did the torching. It wasn't me. I was holding the camera. But, it involved a can of aerosol spray. It may have been a hair care product.
