Hi Everyone:
I've been asked to photograph scenes from the play "My Sister Eileen"
which will open tomorrow night at a university near by. The shoot
will take place after a Friday night performance, and the producer
said normally the shoot is about an hour long. The cast is small (9),
so I think I've a wide enough lens for a cast group shot. I've
requested a comp ticket, so I can see the show before the shoot, and
they've kindly agreed.
I'll be looking for good dramatic scenes, of course, and I've been
told that there's nothing exotic about the lighting direction for this
play--just standard stage lighting. Has anyone had experience doing
theater shoots? Any tips or suggestions you'd be willing to share?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Christine
Actually what you will be looking for is good comedic scenes :-) Drama,
it ain't.
My Sister Eileen is about little gals from Ohio moving to NY to what was
is now the "West" Village
it was turned into a musical both on Broadway and in film... (Comdon
and Greene)
I grew up with that play...
Here is a nice read about the musical and the play to give you an idea.
Wonder if they have "modernized" it...
And yes, I've done theater shoots -- I imagine with this play the
lighting will be pretty steady and clean...
Bring yr tripod :-)
