Having chosen to film at Merthyr Mawr (at least in principle, it’s not confirmed from production pov), I would like to consider what we do for Narcissus’s pool.<\/p>\n
a) Use an existing pool.\u00a0 It’s been raining now for quite a long time, perhaps\u00a0the\u00a0temporary ponds will be back in Merthyr Mawr – a bit risky though.<\/p>\n
b) build a pool in Merthyr Mawr.\u00a0 My favourite option, but fraught with production difficulties.\u00a0\u00a0The sand dunes are quite a trek from the car park, and getting water\/pond liner etc. there\u00a0poses a few logistical difficulties.\u00a0 Hopefully not insurmountable.<\/p>\n
c) Use a mirror.\u00a0 Could work, the screen test with\u00a0Luke (hopefully I’ll try to upload it next week) looked really nice, especially for installation bit, but is inconsistant if we’re using water with Gods, and also with Tiresias beside seaside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Note 1:\u00a0 Pool needs to be quite small, so that\u00a0we can shoot upside down POV of\u00a0Narcissus’s reflection, or at least cheat this somewhere else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Question 1:\u00a0 What do we do to get good reflections:\u00a0 Do we get oil, or film with water and live with imperfections?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
