T R I C K Y

So here's the challenge; our 'INTERIOR FOREST EVENING' set would look like this and would be about this large on 1:12 scale, i.e. too big (12' +). It could be done, but that kind of size would be a little excessive. The trouble is, how to represent the farther-away forest in a way besides simply building it to scale (see close-up image - it's the parts furthest away from the camera cone that i'm talking about). We could simply drop in a flat image with a bluescreen, but we track forward throughout these shots, so that may not fly.

So, i'm not sure what to do. However, my experience has been that it's remarkable to what degress you can b.s. a shot; i.e. we could just stick a couple of modular pieces back there to fill the space as need be, and the viewer probably wouldn't notice and continuity errors. But, shit, i'm not sure.

As usual, the proper step is going to be busting out the ol' camera and mocking up the set with cardboard. It's difficult to visualize the extreme distortion of a camera lens until you see it.
