call for LIGHTS!
please bring at your next appearance A LIGHT, whether a lamp or clip light, or film light, or flashlight or candle or xmas lights, please everyone we must bring lights.
and also, if you see any furniture on the street, or have anything extra, little tables, packing crates, boxes, I would suggest bringing them to the apt.
while our content may not necessitate props/production design etc. having these items will only increase the options of what we are able to shoot, and how good it looks.
up til now we have defaulted, for good and understandable reasons, on a mostly bare apartment for a backdrop, but as I mentioned yesterday, I think every part of the film, even if this isn't a film with characters and a plot in the traditional sense, needs to be paid attention to and given care and thought.
we also need to take care when we enter the apartment to understand that the common space is part of the set. we haven't shot anything on the couch yet, and just because it's covered with our jackets and bags, doesn't mean we shouldn't shoot there. i think from now on, when we enter, all of our stuff needs to go into the guru's/owner's room and stay there until it is needed again.
what do you all think?

I mentioned this Travis and Evan, and I know no one really cares about this, but the production design in Wong Kar Wai movies (before In the Mood for Love), although it looks really nice, is more cool than justified, and does not generally make sense.
ok whatever . what's important about the image is that the light makes the image interesting and dynamic, and is meant to be there. question is not whether it makes sense story wise or in reference to reality. films are not reality.
