Is that a rhetorical question?

Funny story about Scene 2 of Where's Waldo - it's difficult to film at night. It's fairly dark (which is what we were going for) but it is difficult to simulate moonlight when there is no moon.

So we didn't try. As you'll see, when Austin (the director) goes to check on Chris, he leaves his headlights on. This is so that he can see exactly what is going on, and so that we could have some light to film by.

You may notice that it gets dimmer throughout the film... this is because Austin's car battery was slowly dying throughout the shoot. When we wrapped up the scene, we couldn't get his car to start. Note to all aspiring director/actor types: CAR BATTERIES DIE.

And, here is Where's Waldo, Scene 2.
