Preparing to Film

This week, I will be planning the details involved with my film to expedite progress throughout the next coming weeks. Actors: My brother, Mickey, will play Waldo in my film opening.

Costumes: Mickey will be wearing a red and white striped shirt, a corresponding hat, and black circular glasses. The other students will wear normal clothes of their choosing.
