Katy Onuma took the plates from today’s shoot and put together a rough sketch of what the murder of Agamemnon. We were hoping to do a couple of things from today’s sketch. The first was to do some off-speed work using a 720p camera shooting at 60fps. The second was to work on blocking for the murder scene to see if we could get the action and emotion to play in some type of silhouette. The second half of the scene shows the murder of Cassandra. We shot this on a very small screen and know that for the final plates we will be on a larger stage. We will be processing the work quite a bit in the coming weeks to get the look and then figure out how this is all going to look as a physical composite given the scrim that we will be putting in front of the projection surfaces. The final version will be set in a bath with fluid effects, atmospherics, and arterial spray!
The crew did a great job and the multimedia peeps did their best to act, but we will be very pleased to get our cast on screen for the real deal.
