Plot Outline: 
All the group members meet to discuss the assignment.  After remembering Ernest Hemingway’s quote “Write drunk, edit sober”, we decide we’ll be more creative drunk.  Chaos ensues.  The next morning, everyone wakes up realizing we haven’t progressed with the assignment.  Then, a hungover Louis appears in a speedo and wig, like The Coppertone baby, and the group realizes what we can do.  A dog appears and bites his speedo, pulling it down.  Louis is the Coppertone Baby and our video is complete.
