ROH
DTT for a long day of meetings and location sorting.
this be the view from the top of the fly tower of the royal opera house.
it was GREAT to be up there with a full 360 panoramic of london.
you always get a real sense of a city from up high.
sadly, rain is forecast for friday (shoot day) so we probably won't be up here shooting.
the fly tower
half way up the stairs is a stair where i sit fly tower at the royal opera house.
the backstage of the royal opera house is HUGE.
i THINK geoff said they have 108 hanging backdrops at all times for the 5-6 shows always running.
this is the view from the back of the back stage, just half way up the fly tower.
you can see (hopefully) the tiny red and gold auditorium in the distance.
they can lift whole backdrops up and out of the way to bring another one in.
incredible feat of engineering.
awesome.
getting to the top of the fly tower we had to take a tiny lift and empty our pockets in case anything fell through the slats down onto people working below.
very (modern) phantom of the opera.
like the silhouette of the guy in the light (for scale)
pretty special location scouting.
had meetings at wired, the chiro and SH with pulse films commercial dept.
dinner with crispin in hammersmith and then 'dan le sac vs scroobius pip' at the shepherds bush empire which was most fine.
