Scott Pilgrim

Quirky, simple, entertainment without much lasting value.

Scott is, in best terms, a nerd. High school four years gone, he’s still hanging with buds, playing in a band and dating a high school chick. But, there’s this other girl, skating through his dreams and occupying his mind. Then, the day came when she was not simply in his dreams... the day came when Scott met Ramona. Now, what’s a nerd to do when the girl of his dreams has seven ex’s who won’t let them be together – BATTLE! Defeat the super ex’s, score points and win the girl....

A fair bit of work all around with performances and effects keeping it all from falling apart.
