Research/Development in Studio

As a group, we experimented with working in set-design within a studio environment.
With one actor in tow, the idea was to create a futuristic Sc-Fi scene where by the character would effectively be looking out of a spaceship window into the universe.

So, what props were required for this scene?

- 1x Large sheet of perspex to act as a spaceship window

-  Lighting + various coloured gels

- 1x Camera

- Water to add speckles to the window for effect

- Twinkly red+green lights to give that 'space/universe/star' feel

We used a crew of upto 10 people, which included roles such as camera operator, prop management etc.

This is an overview shot of us in the studio:

Above you can see the perspex screen directly in front of the actor complete with water speckles which in turn are lit up by the multitude of red and green lights.

 

Patrick made up a rig which essentially was a piece of cardboard on a stick, this defeclted light which made it look like objects where moving around the actor...

Bob and Joe concentrated on directing the actor, I worked with the camera operator in composition and lighting
