Monday. First preparation for intro scene

Monday is the preparation for the first scene we are filming at noon. Tech wise we will be using a lot of the dolly and specific lighting. We also need some smoke so if anyone has access to a smoke machine or something we would need to practice with it monday so things don't go wrong durring the day of the shoot. The crane I can't say we would be using unless we wanted to use it for one or two shots. go to our home page to look at the calendar. thanks :)

A Certain Shade of Green!

So recently we have found a new location we are deciding for the Ceremony scenes where the actual blooming will take place. There is a location by the U of U education building that has an out side stage that looks interesting. So which brings me to currently we are going to be working with some specific green-screening.



We might need a few of these. We will be deciding that on Tuesday Feb 9. We are going to the location around 12:30 pm if any want to come discuss and see the location. Thanks! :)

here is amazons' site for some deals they have on green screens and such:
