Facts
• The video was filmed on 3 days - September 2nd, September 3rd (Extras scenes) and September 5th (the director's birthday).
• After the script was written, a thorough storyboard was drawn depicting each scene. This means, we had a specific vision for each scene and never strayed from this storyboard (see pictures below).
• For the 3 minute and 30 second video, exactly 2 hours of footage was filmed.
• One scene was cut from the video for time.
• The abandoned street locations were scouted ahead of time. The street where the speed limit sign falls was unofficially named “Residential Street” while filming.
• As of September 15, the video has been watched in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Colombia, Mexico, Hungary, Germany, Malaysia, Brazil, Argentina, Norway, Denmark, Latvia and the United Kingdom.
• About 19% of our views were on a mobile device.

Storyboard
The storyboard was drawn before any filming took place:

Residential Street - including the falling sign

The "BEANS!" scene
The "Where it all began" cornfield scene
