I’ve been constructing scenery for the movie. It’s a neat little exercise in scale and quantity… I’m trying to make a medieval market, and I want it to look like it has a fair amount of stuff, but I don’t want it to be overly crowded. I think I’ve managed a good middle ground…
But now that I’ve built it, I’m probably going to shoot a different scene first (specifically the opening crawl). No specific reason, really, except that I think by getting that one shot finished I can have a better idea of the scope, time, and energy that will go into the full project. Just so I can budget time and resources appropriately.
Oh, and I built some viewing stands, and I’m wondering if I should make them have a forced perspective (like they did with Gandalf and Frodo for the LOTR movies… look that up if you haven’t, it’s a very neat trick). The problem is the minifigures I’m using are a fixed size, so making them appear smaller might be trickier than I’m capable of. But I’m going to think about it at least! Movie magic, ho!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
