FINALLY! We're making the movie AGAIN!!!!!!!
thumbsup:thumbsup
Past two months were so busy with work that we couldn't work on film at all, but now we managed to get two weeks off and we're back in business!
So, the plan was that the next thing we film is the
toilet scene, but winter decided that it is not over yet and this week we got tons of snow and very cold weather. The toilet set is built in my shed, so basically it's
outside, with no heating. So we figured, let's leave that for next month, and do something else now.
There is a really small scene at a noodle bar, and that seemed perfect for our two week break.
We decided we will film it inside in our studio, so the main thing to do was to BUILD THE NOODLE BAR! And which other than our beloved "White Dragon", of course. The idea being that there is a whole chain of those fast food restaurants, so this is just one of them.
And, we're off to work!
So, in the last two days I've been making the main frame of the Noodle bar with the help from my father who is reflected in the mirror.
I've been collecting and saving interesting styrofoam pieces for years now, knowing they will come in handy one day. In the next photo you can see them on the pillar, but eventually they will be glued on most of the corners.
We've installed some lights to the top where the signs will come. Those big lights in the back are still temporary. They are supposed to to be some kind of illuminated shelves with tons of bottles and stuff ... we'll arrange it in the next few days..
I've recreated the signs from the original White dragon noodle bar, and I must admit I've had some fun searching for the most horrible dishes I could find. :lol
My friend will print them tomorrow and they will be glued in these cardboard frames:
That's about what I've done so far. Maybe it doesn't look that realistic in this light, especially since you can see the rest of the room all around. But we feel it will be mofo when properly lit, with set dressing, actors, steam, fog.. Here's a quick photo framed similarly how it will be in the film:
And a panorama of the whole room:
Tomorrow Dino and me are going to IKEA to buy some cheap bowls and stuff to scatter around the bar.
Expect frequent updates in the next week - simply because we are on the clock! :lol
It's good to be back! :cheers
