Saturday morning. This is a day of historic proportions ! REAL BUDDY starts shooting again ! No, seriously, this means a lot to all of us. After the long time the future of the project really had to be questioned, we finally start work again ! The first day will be a greenscreen scene in which we create a TV news studio. For that, our construction guys created a fancy looking desk for the actors to sit at and read the news to their audience. Of course, like the whole film, these news will be full of surprises.I create a typical TV studio lighting, to create a credible atmosphere. The scene is supposed to look realistic. To add to that atmosphere, we shoot HDV, because we need a video look for the scenes taking place in the news studio. Later, the green background will be replaced with all kinds of monitors and graphics visually representing what is said in front of the camera. Florian Rohn, our 2 D artist responsible for the creation of the backgrounds, arrives on set to supervise everything, because the actors need to positioned in a way we later are able to see the background graphics. Flo hands out stills from his storyboard to communicate the positions to the crew. I´m excited to start work.
