Behind the Scenes Photographs

Amazingly I don't think we have a thread that is simply a collection of BTS photographs. Post any cool ones here!

It could be from your own film, or from a big production like LOTR.
As long as there is some interesting aspect. Like, uhh, check out this big fan

Here is one that I took today - my first time using a bunch a black sheets everywhere to try to control light spill. It worked really well.

I've got a light in a snoot box back there pointed straight down over the coffee table.
I attached the light to my c-stand and suspended it like a boom mic. Black sheet on the coffee table prevented light from reflecting back up. Don't be confused by the ceiling fan and that little light bulb, that's not a part of it.

A few days of stuff from our forthcoming feature film:

We rented a water truck to fill up a watersealed room for a crying scene. The water ended up being about five feet deep within eight minutes. It was cold water and 38 degrees outside :)

I think that's all we had, sadly. Eight days of shooting over the course of three weekends. Hope this gets the ball rolling; this is a cool thread!
 
Really cool pics, especially that water room!


Here's a squib head that I made, along with how it came out on screen:

For the scene, one of the crew is trapped behind a glass wall and he is shot, as the others look on:

Here's another backyard set, which is later comp'd into a background and set extension:

A real Doppelgänger, Sean!
I'm curious!

Some not very spectacular BTS shots:

Here I'm prepared a group shot on a rooftop for a corporate video:
(Using tennisballs and wooden tiles to prevent point pressure that could damage the asphalt roof.)
