Tuesday...All change on Roanoke

Soo......
This may come as a surprise for a few of the crew along with most of the cast, and anyone outside. But the dates are all changing due to the location scout yesterday.

Unfortunately it has been decided that Hartley Witney (the location that started the ball rolling) will no longer feature in the production. Below is a picture I took and tried to blog (via mobile) while on the scout yesterday....sadly the location and the mobile blog failed us:



Although this location may look "good" in this picture, the constraints of Hi-Def mean that infact all the roads and houses in the very distance can now be seen. I can't quite work it out, however i'm positive when i visited here a month ago "something" was hiding them. If we were on a bigger budget we could run a large plastic tube along the back of the set, put holes in it, and then pipe smoke through the tubing and in turn it would hide all the background (something i learnt from Childeren of Men).

Anyway, as it stands we will now be moving a few things around so over the next week and a half we will be shooting the following scenes:

- Model Boats
- Interior Cabin
- Woods (with Extras)

Despite us loosing the exterior of the fort scene, we have added the interioir of the cabin, and possibly the other studio shoots that occur within the script.

We currently have two locations lined up to replace the fort scene, but I can't say to much about that presently....wonderful
