LAND HO!

Hello, you can call me Dabloon Bruja. I am feeling like a pirate explorer who can see a shining mountain of gold in the horizon. We are so close to the end goal but we still have a ways to go. We filmed most of the garage scene on Monday and started right after school until 10:00 pm. We had our man tied up in the garage and our bruja stirring her magical liquids. It was the longest and most interesting Monday of my life.  It went very well and I am so excited to see the final product come together.

There was a little bit of a struggle using colored lighting because the quality didn't look as good. But then I remembered reading about white light in my research and how it can help with this if you combine it with the colored lighting. So, as the kids say, we hit that nae.

We used the lamp shades to shine the light in specific direction as well as a light diffuser at times.  We also placed them strategically to make eerie shadows that would add to the witch's mysterious and powerful feel of always hovering above the tied up man. The multiple shadows created also represents the darkness within her conflicting with the love she holds for her dead lover.

We still have to finish the ending shots for this scene to be complete but I am worried about the 2 minute time limit because we got a lot of footage. We will also use the next day of filming to fix anything we may need to.

I also want to show off our set up for the props because we may not have enough time to show the whole thing. Here is our child his name is Timothy:

Here are some more beautiful moments from the shoot:
