We set up the scene for the paper room which took allot of time, pre shoot we made something like 120 paper creatures, then on the actual day it took allot longer than we thought to cover a room in paper. I tried experimenting with camera obscura by blacking out the windows and poking a small hole, which kinda of worked we could see a feint projection of the railings outside, but it was no way near bright enough to film, I think it also didn't help that it was a cloudy day and out the window was a flat white building, nonetheless it is something I want to experiment with later on, combining natural real time projection with video projectors to create a moving image light experience. We then started filming having taken down the blacked window. We decided to leave the mirror and window uncovered so as to carry on the theme of reflections of self, this did make filming more of a challenge trying not to get reflections of the camera in shot. I decided to use long takes to capture the surreal beauty and add to the reality of the surreal world created creating juxtapositions. It was a weired experience in itself whilst being busy setting it all up and filming you would just step back and look round and just be taken a back by the set that we were effectively enveloped in, its an indescribable feeling which I don't think I've felt before.
