Ha! So that is actually the real horse! We were concerned someone might feel the same so well spotted! but we didnโt want to change the horseโs performance for an arbitrary reason - Shimmer was somber and any movement in the frame would have taken your eyes off our duo. โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Not only this stunning overview of what the art department had created, but you can see some snow on the ground. One day it fully snowed overnight making it totally unusableโฆsave for the absolutely insane efforts of the

Ten years ago, Fringe aired its final episode. I was the editor. That series & J.H. taught me so much about human connection, family, and the power of negative space. Everything I do has echoes of that experience.

ep5 BTS pt1:
Our biggest set-piece required a huge cul-de-sac with 16 houses, fully controllable at night and with privacy to shoot, so we built it:
1) Back-lot site
2) Road and foundations beginning to take shape
3) On-site with scale model
4) Final build with stand-ins
While having coffee with

Other than getting to work with creative geniuses who I respect and admire (Neil & Craig) the thing that excited me most about doing

is that my casting suggested the possibility of a future in which people start listening to the person with the best ideas

To make the first edit as quickly as possible so you donโt overthink it. Itโs reversible but the -action- of editing is how you get better. ๐๐ปโ๏ธ
Strawberries. Hereโs our exquisite director planning their jog to final positions. On the ground youโll see orange string plotting where the houses would be built, but main purpose of this was to determine where strawberry patch would be, relative to sun at magic hour. ๐

104โs grotty gas station bathroom. I requested the hole in the ceiling to allow for a single sourced ray of sunlight, giving Ellie a backlight and bouncing into the mirrors and sink to give her soft side light, supplemented with a hidden astera tube.
