Hi Everyone and welcome to the third installment of the ‘Rupture’ promo blog.

Last time we just about had all the props and costumes we needed. Kohl’s  came together without much bother. We found just the right singlet in Kmart – $5 Women’s sale stand. The overalls we sourced form ‘The Richmond Family Massacre’ wardrobe.
Props was next and there wasn’t really anything we needed except for a zippo style lighter and cigarettes – Of which we already had in the cupboard.
I was assigned with the task of finding a make-up artist. The personal we had used in the past had been great, but most had moved on or sold their kits and as we didn’t have a make-up kit it was essential the make-up artist could provide their own.

A journey is like a marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it -Steinbeck, John Ernest

With two days shooting under our belts it was time to prepare for the long haul. Our first big weekend was to be Easter weekend with the idea to shoot three days over the four-day weekend. The first day was to be based out at Kelly Park Film Village and the last two in Devonport.

Of course before we could get to the actual shooting there was a large amount of prep work to finish… Continue reading →

Shoot Green screen footage. 4. Create Digital environments. 5. Have footage for my green screen compositing assignment at Media Design School. 6. Most importantly have fun.
