I had already used the same location near my home to show a canoe falling into the waterfall. But I wanted to take the storytelling a step further and feature a team of unhappy pirates who had made the wrong choices and were about to lose their entire fortune!
I'd like to take this opportunity to share some behind-the-scenes footage with you ;)
There are two kind of new year's resolutions. The one you make on new year's eve is one kind. For example it could be something like "Next year I will start skiing once a week". It is not unusual that this resolution is made after at least one or two glasses of champagne. For some people this might have impaired their judgement of their own physical abilities and personal resolve. Often there is also a perceived measure of social pressure involved in these promises. For these reasons this promise should be taken with a grain of salt.
Then there is the new year's resolution that is made on new years day. This promise is often made in solitude and with a much greater seriousness. Usually the person giving this resolution will have no problem keeping it at least until one year have passed. For example it might be something like this "I will never ski again!"
