Chef Paul is a famous 5-star chef, but the secret to his unique, ever-changing menu is that he gets his ingredients from the previous night’s garbage.

I definitely would like to reshoot the ending, and maybe the kitchen scene if I have time.
Marianne suggested that I add a filter to hide the light change (yellow tint). And also make my paper cutouts high-class, hoity-toity people who are in love with the idea of eating at a 5-star restaurant but don’t know the first thing about appreciating food! Also some background, like a newspaper with Paul on it, as a transition to the end scene would be nice.
I was also thinking of starting with the restaurant scene, and having a customer ask Paul what his secret is. What makes him so unique compared to all the other Parisian chefs? And then cut to the rest of the short.
