Forest_to the trees

The test framing of the forest shot.

    This the shot of the forest where the cat will pull out the key from the tree and then the leaves will all fall off. I was hoping the tree tops won't be shown in this frame so that I can save a lot work of making leaves. But I may make some small branches with some leaves at the lower position in the picture. In that way, It can kind of give the audience of the idea of those leaves. Beside the small branches, I will carve a piece of black foam to create the shadow of tree tops. (Maybe mixing with green gel?)

There are actually only 8 trees. And in the real fabrication, there might be only 6 of them. G1 and G2 are the same tree in different angle and they will be filmed in two passes. D and F can be the same tree. So do the B and C. It all depends on how hard to fabricate the tree and how much material is available.

This is the plan of how to fabricate the tree.

  The main point, like all other plants on this planet, is fabric. Felt is still the best choice with nice texture. The color will depend on how the fabric looks and possibility of coloring the fabric with paint.
