AVARY's video: A Pre Saturday Night Party Party from The Rules of Attraction 2002

These scenes were shot at the University of Redlands, just near Palm Springs, in the middle of a Summer heatwave. The crew was wearing shorts and T-shirts during shooting because it was so hot. For the ampitheater sequence we used a combination of white "snow blankets", foam, cornstarch snowflakes, and snow generated from chipping large slabs of ice that we trucked in. The snowflake that turns into a tear was computer generated, and was impossibly difficult to achieve on our budget back in 2002. Note: I am the director of The Rules of Attraction (2002) and this clip is fair use under U.S. copyright law because it is (1) non-commercial, (2) transformative in nature, (3) uses no more of the original work than necessary for the video's purpose, and (4) does not compete with the original work and could have no negative affect on it's market.
