Phew! Day 1 of Shooting finished!

So I'm art directing this short film right now, working title "Perfect Day for a Picnic". Saturday was the first full day of shooting which took place at the set we've been building over the last month or so. It's a false bedroom, with pull away walls and ceiling for camera/light access.

Here's the space before we started building.

Here's the set completed and lit for daytime.
And there's Murray in the window being a creep!











Here's the set lit for night time with the window wall removed.

The two actors having dinner in bed, bathed in the tv glow, with cameraman Eric Weindel going in for a close up.











...and here's some details of our set dressing.

We're going to have to pull off some crazy special effects in there in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
