A Christmas Gift of Blankets…
Problem solving. That was one of the things necessary when working on a film. We’re still in the editing room fixing “problems”.
Problems are inherent throughout the filmmaking process. Thinking back to when we were preparing for principal photography of Liars and Lunatics in the summer of 2006, we were always testing out ideas on how to make things work.
One of the biggest challenges was filming in a church. With the high ceilings, we needed to minimize the echoes and such for all the dialogue scenes. Our solution: blankets.
Yep! We put a “casting call” out for blankets. Anyone getting rid of a blanket? Give it to us! By far, the best blanket donation was from a hotel in New York City. They were getting rid of about six big blankets. They were relatively light in weight. They had that pink floral pattern that many hotel blankets began using in the 1980s and 90s. Not really quite in the style of the Moon Brothers…
But we snatched them up. Hey! They were free. How could we turn them down?
It was like getting a Christmas gift (in July)!
And with that… May we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas… from the Moon Brothers…
