Back to Boating

The re-shoot for Roanoke: The Lost Colony that will be happening this weekend will see the team stepping back into the water, donning their wetsuits, and filming the model boats again. Since the last shoot everyone (especially Angela) has been on the ball thinking up new and intriguing ways to shoot the models and to make them look more and more like, well, not models.

The first idea will be to form a wire frame structure across the water and then cover the frame with a dark material. This will help take away any lost light and retain the fog around the boat for alot longer. In the previous shot (as can be seen by the picture below)
Dan used an umbrella to harbour the smoke and waft it across the boat. Although the umbrella tactic may seem quite comical it was infact a primitive form of the method we will be using this Saturday. We will also be using a large sheath to fend of any unwanted rain drops, darker material to cover the bright blue flooring and a sturdy stabilizer for the boat.

To the latter end of this week Gary will be working hard by touching up the boats. The two main areas he'll be working on are the sails and adding interior lights (miniature lanterns).

Although officially we are on our publicity stage, we need to get this re-shoot out the way before the adverse weather kicks in.

On a separate note, Dan brought around the Publicity DVD today, it is fantastic, better than that in-fact. We have made a few changes and we will then send out to everyone who has requested it.
