	Also, David Lawrence had some tips that he had learned on how to make people's mouths shut and make it look believable. Not only does he try to tap the actor (if he can) to give them a clue as to when he is going to make the motion with his hand, but he tells all the actors that it looks more believable if you fold your lips in under your teeth. If you notice, it's not just a shut mouth, but it's a shut mouth with no lips so that it feels more sealed. Who knew?!

	All productions like these are collaborative. On ''Going Postal'' and ''The Recruit'' (which just [[awards and nominations\|won two Webby awards and a Telly award]]--yeah!) we were working not only in a producing capacity (finding and hiring crew, scouting locations, equipment, etc.) but also as advisors to the directors to help them get everything we needed in a very short amount of time. On ''Nowhere Man'' we passed a lot of the day-to-day producing duties over to [[Gunnar Clancey]] (who was our line-producer on all our other webisodes) so we could focus more exclusively on directing. Since we came in with a clear and unified vision, it worked out well. We also know [[Dennis Hammer]], [[Timm Keppler]], and [[Jim Martin]] well enough by this point that we were able to have a very open and earnest line of communication between us, and it really was a fun and productive team.

	One of the most important preparations was the location scout--this was key as we needed to be very strategic with our use of locations. If you count, there are technically ~~eight~~ different locations (Jason's cubicle, Jason's apartment, office supply room, Dilman's office, hospital waiting room, hospital parking lot, Copy Kingdom parking lot, and the warehouse).

	Once the story focused on the character's struggle to NOT use his power, then it became much easier to make him likable.
