This week we begin some of the final shots for the film. The hotel roof scene requires quite complicated set ups, because we need to make it look like a sun rise between two buildings in the distance. Frosted gel will be used between the set and the buildings to look like haze and create more distance.
Monday
- Rig pee mechanism for Manny - he will be standing on the roof of a building and peeing off the top. I need to secure a tube in place up his leg so that it is not visible in camera, and allows us to flow fake urine through.
- I need to take Manny's main rod out and put piano wire in legs so that he can free stand in shot without the central rod blocking the flow of urine.
- Rig Glen in place for the wide shot. May have to cut into the polystyrene set to allow him to sit in place properly.
- Prep Glen for the shot - tidy wig up, adjust costume, tension rod.
- I will be puppeteering Glen for the wide shot of him sat on the edge of the roof.
- Be on standby for on the spot maintenance or repairs on Glen
- Take Glen out of shot, rig Manny in place
- Puppeteer Manny
- If I get time I will do a new Manny wig ready for Wednesdays shots.
Tuesday
- De-rod puppets for return to costume maker
- Go through animatic with Simon to assess if new heads or puppet parts are needed for remaining shots
