WELCOME
This is the ‘making of’ blog for Bombay Bicycle Club’s How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep?
To go back to the very beginning of the project click Process I hope you enjoy what you see here.
There’s been some highs. There’s been some low. But we’ve made it though TOGETHER.
A quick snog.
The LAST SHOT. A handshake. A fond farewell.
The light fades.
One by one the darkness spreads.
The liquid is each crater begins to darken.
Close up of the moon light being poured into the pockets which cover the coats lining.
The second glowing spoonful.
Lighting the night without a moon?
The under lit effect of the moon on our character was attractive and atmospheric. Now the moon has be extinguished lighting the boy is necessary but illogical. He must be picked out against the black night but as there is now no light source any lighting seems almost theatrical. As he begins to float from the surface of the dimming moon his stark rim lighting contrasts with the naturalist lighting which has taken us to this point. As I have experiments with shooting him in the naturalistic gloom this sudden surreal presence of light is the only option. As this whole homeward journey will be on shot on black, the sequence relies on the character being well lit in this way.
