Where to shoot the movie? That was our big question – down the streets of Shibuya was not an option. We needed to find something authentic…..this is part two in the series Kimonobox, the movie
In the end, we travelled to Eigamurakan in Kyoto to shoot ‘Kimonobox, the movie’. Perfect.
Part II takes a look at our location selection choice.
” We had better take a look around girls. Do we have the right historical setting?”
Checking out the location
“Don’t you think we are a bit like Charlie’s Angels …. On the other hand, perhaps we are more like 3 little maids from G and S….?”
Charlie's Angels? Me thinks not?
Anybody know where that ninja went to?
Streets from Eigamura Kyoto
This is nice ….. but what is this? red light district ? ….. not so desirable for the kimonobox movie!
Red Light District?
Nice colours of red but not sure we need this scene!
Perhaps we could shoot inside the candle makers shop?
This might provide one location selection for kimonobox, the movie …..
These shops will provide a great background for action
Aha – do we spot a candidate for the sword fighting scene?
On location
Girls I think we found our ninja! He is warming up ready for a piece of the action! Good lad.
Ninja Warming up
Looks like we need to work on some sword fighting …. perhaps we should rehearse a few scenes such as these ?
Okay we have staked out the location … now to start making the movie!
