Making the set

My friend Francis and I put white sheets on the walls of my room and spent 3 days putting 300-400 eyes which I had already printed up on the walls. We made a track for a dolly using found wood so the camera could glide easily across the floor. We then borrowed lights from a friend and spent a...
