Ah this takes me back many years well before digital imaging was available to us to do cleaver things. Again it was a family scene all the furniture, dining table and guests and re-created large open fireplace in the studio, and we actually had a real log fire blazing away! Nice 10"8" shot but glad to put the fire out the moment the last sheet was through! We had a very powerful darkroom extractor fan in use to keep the situation under control and the smoke away from the set! Happy days!
