R and D

This is a short subject about an experiment that attempts to answer once and for all whether or not it actually is useful to cry over spilt milk. Watch it in full on Pollution's website under short films.

The milk spilling rig in this piece was pretty ingenious: A small metal pin shoots up out of the table and tips the glass, activated by some poor sucker off screen pulling a mono-filament wearing rubber boots.

My favorite thing about this shoot was just how much milk we mopped the floor with. It turns out this will create a thin starchy film, much like white glue. Fascinating!
