Dan Shapiro and Alex Topaller directed the project, which was shot in front of a greenscreen using a Red Epic camera. The female love inter- est was shot numerous times and composited into the same scene, giving the impression she is a twin. All of the moving light bulbs are CGI, but are based on a practical array that was used for lighting during the shoot.
