Location Scouting for Uncle Bulo's Abode - Rosny Cottage

On our continuing mission to find the best possible locations myself and Alan Jennison visit Rosny Farm to have a look at their cottage.

Visit the Rosny Farm website and see what it has to offer!


The numbers represent the items which should not appear in shot or will need digital altering in Post Production.

Costumes - Alan Jennison




Alan Jennison has a number of costumes so he's photographg some that may be appropriate.

That vest might work quite well with that John picked out.


Unlce Bulo


Hard to tell without someone actually wearing it!

Test build for Uncle Bulo's Abode

The original plan was to build a small set for Uncle Bulo's Abode so last week I attempted a test build.

Unfortunately the brushwood looked horrible when it was hung up so I decided to use it on the floor. The idea would be to composite a background during post production, however this may been unsuccessful.






It seems finding an existing location would be a better choice.

Rough Cut - Finale

This scene is also missing a few shots...

Costumes - Hobart Repertory

John Andrews (Uncle Bulo) has been digging around the Hobart Repertory's costume department for some suitable attire for the characters. Here's some suitable items he's come up with.

He models them so well doesn't he?

For Gigh



Not sure if that vest works with the shirt - not enough constrast.


For Uncle Bulo


Looks kind of Northern African Nomad, but may be suitable.



Looks like a blue Darth Sidious cloak. We'd need to do something with the arms.

Sound Tests - Droughty Point





In addition to the photographs Alan Jennison and myself conducted some microphone tests to determine how noticable the wind noise was. With the aid of a fluffy windsock the noise was reduced but there are still traces of it - a wonderful musical score would hide them nicely.

Test 1




Test 2 - No Windsock




Test 3




Test 4




Test 5
