I've been getting tired of not shooting anything, so I decided to do a technical rehearsal, using only theatre lighting, I attempted to shoot the title shot: which is a "North Pole" sign in front of the distant city at night. The original plan for this sign is to get it laser cut in Auckland, and get my electrician brother to wire up some miniature street lights. But I thought I would try painting the sign and using christmas lights instead. Unfortunately I can't paint very well, and the lighting was very average, so the shot is unusable, but I did learn a lot about what I need for the actual shoot.
- Rock salt is awesome snow.
- I need more Xmas Tradition's "Ice crystals" and "Snow spray"
- Everything needs to be animated at 24 frames per second.
- I'm going to need a lot more Harddrive space.
- This film is going to take a long time to make.
Also recorded the rythmic part of the soundscape and started a bit of sound editing... drumming on just cymbals, will [hopefully] compliment the low frequency atmospheric soundscape.
