The first day: Lighting the bridge. It´s huge !!

Deja vu:. With each shooting phase, we have to start with the more complicated stuff, although I much prefer to get the team “warm” and going with more easier things at the beginning. But – Murphy´s law - it just never happens. In phase I, we started off with the most complicated scene of the film, the chapel scene. It included 80 extras, a mass fight with stuntman, pyro f/x, smoke, haze, and two camera units, all because the location, a real chapel – had to be done in two days. Here on the bridge, the most complicated stuff is the lighting and dry weather. Cause it´s low budget, we only have a limited amount of big HMI lights to light a huge set. A 12 K, 3 4K´s and some 2K´s to light the whole thing which is huge: The walls alone are 15m in height and 200m in width.
