Filming in Santana do Cariri
A couple weeks ago I posted about our visit to Santana do Cariri--fossil capital of Brazil. Then yesterday I mentioned we had gone there to do some filming for the TV project. Below are some pictures of our adventures.
This is me setting up a shot. At this point we were preparing to film the very first scene, where Manu arrives at the Cidade Feliz.
This is our actress preparing for the scene.
The camera is rolling. A truck appears over the horizon.
The truck approaches and stops. Manu gets out and thanks the driver (played by yours truly).
After looking at a map, Manu begins walking towards the city.
The sign: Cidade Feliz, 3 kilometers.
We managed to shoot that particular scene in two takes. The next one took longer because people kept walking past.
We also shot several background scenes that will be used when we tape in the studio in front of the greenscreen.
This is me shooting some background footage from the overlook.
We have been preparing for this shooting for many months now--gathering equipment, training puppeteers, writing and re-writing scripts--so it is very exciting to finally begin the shooting process.
