We had our first of four days at the brownstone location. About two-thirds of the film takes place on Esther's Front Step so we gave ourselves plenty of time today for figuring out how to deal with the location in terms of blocking and lighting and stuff. Then we did a couple of beauty shots. The very first shot of the film is a reveal of Esther on her front step and a tour coming in. It looks amazing.
One of the things I really wanted to get right was the costumes. If Tim and Esther look fake the whole thing falls apart. The shirt and waistcoat for Tim are vintage. And of course Esther's entire outfit is hand built. It is really stunning and so worth it.
And of course, none of these set pictures were taken by me. Many thanks to Sara Doring, Sarah Schmigdall, Aaron Bland, and all the crew members who donated production photos.
