News: The At the Flicks team visit the set of the movie “Last Chancers”.

In this months News section we mentioned our visit to the set of Last Chancers the movie being shot in our home town of Cheltenham. Writer Director Phil Stubbs gave us permission to photograph some of the set up for one of the main scenes in the movie.  The scene we watched was a sequence involving a masked ball. It was a stunning set, with fully decorated tables, one a centre piece for one of the villains, including his very scary devil mask, and a large well lit expanse for the many guests or extras to appear. Below are a number of photos that Neil took over the evening.

1.) The Camera operator setting up to capture all the action
2.) The set design team working hard on setting up all of the elements for the masked ball.
3.) Jeff and Graham schmoozing with the Leading Lady, Lisa Ronaghan
4.) Jeff with Adam the sound recordist
5.) Some of the extra’s take up position behind the camera.
6.) The set design team getting the final look of the tables sorted.
