The new style!

GI Joe In Dorset;

After having tried to chase up more of the copyrights, I experimented with creating an image using a style different style giving the overall effect that Tony and I wanted to achieve in the backdrop and after sending a couple of basic images over to Tony, he has approved it. With one week to go, it is all go with the designs and building the set starts at the end of the week! For the designs, the very lovely Wendy at Barrie Pictures has agreed to let us use the image for the backdrop of the Camp scene for free in exchange for a thank you in the programme! Thank you again Wendy we are tremendously greatful. I am overlaying it with a light layer of sepia to carry through the stylised effect of the other scene designs, and like the others it will have a border and the date added.

 

We have 8 scene changes, so there is still a lot to do but I have until latest tomorrow night to get them finished and sent off to Tony before we check the projector on Wednesday, with the set build and painting starting on Friday! I will be building wings for the set so that where we are back projecting the actors will have a place to change without effecting the projection. For this we will be using blackout cloth - which is something that I am currently hunting for! It is all headed to be finished in good time for the show.

 

I will I believe be building the set over the weekend with the exception of Sunday which is the filming day for ;

 

No Pasaran!

With the final tweeks done to the call sheet by Roy, the filming day is fast approaching! The footage that we are aiming to film this weekend will be played during the show and as well as setting the mood it will also have some major plot points included in the footage so this is an exciting and crucial day, but with the location set, the cameraman arranged, lifts organised to the location and costume on the way it is all (fingers crossed touch wood) set to be smooth sailing from here.

One month and one week to the show!
