03/12: Angela Award ceremony
We gathered at George Mason University in Fairfax on a Sunday to hold a photo shoot of many principle actors for the film's poster. We hadn't seen one another in months so it was a very nice little reunion! Everyone looked a little different.
There's our producer, Dave explaining something to Dave Coyn, who plays the character Ron Price.
Our still photographer, Jason Hornick, eyes the lighting situation at George Mason University's Star Lab.
Josh and JJ each wait for their turn to be photographed.
Then, we broke for lunch.
Lunch makes us happy.
We then trekked down to one of the electronic classrooms to film a scene that is shown briefly in a !SPOILER! montage at the end of the film. Mary Lechter, who plays Angela Lynch, accepts a film award at a large Golden-Globe-esque ceremony. I made up a background to project onto the video blackboard behind our actor.
We had our extras dress in tuxedos and gowns, so I suggested that we pull one of the guys to be our 'award presenter'.
In the actual film, the shots will be a lot tighter, so composition-wise it will look more like this:
I didn't get great shots with my digital this time around, but I took better pictures with my Nikon 35MM that I will have processed soon.
I modeled the scene to be a cross between a photo I found of Blythe Danner and one of William Shatner, both accepting Golden Globes:
..I really liked the contrast of gold on vivid plum-blue, and the photos from the shoot don't show it very well, but we had Mary in a sparkling gold dress. The analysis of the scene for me was that the narrator, DE Randall, had spun a tragic tale of a terrible film that was made some years ago, and Angela Lynch was the only good thing to come from it. In a sense, Angela Lynch was DE Randall's human trophy. We made her gold and sparkling like the award she was accepting. Also, the rest of the film has very bold verticle and horizontal black lines in virtually every scene, for "11", this scene was to show that Angela rose above the tragedy surrounding the movie Lucifer Cicero, so I specifically designed a circular backdrop. Lucifer Cicero's spell had long since been broken, thus, no more parallel lines.
