Car Boot Sales?

After having a look at some car boot sales to get ideas for the stall in my film, most of them seem to simply have a table -




I think I'll still need a sign to make it totally clear what's going on, but this sign could be like the one in front of the stall in the second picture, just written on a piece of card and rested in front.

Pre-Production

I've chosen to use my idea with the two guys sat at the stalls, as I feel it's my most concise and effective idea. To begin filming, I'll need the following things -

- People
I'll need two guys to sit behind each stall, and react accordingly with what's happening, and then around 6 or 7 people to run to the download stall at the end.

- Filming Equipment
I'll need a camera and lighting equipment, but not sound recording equipment, as all the sounds in the advert are non-diegetic (none of them are created by any of the things we're actually seeing in the film). I'll make a short piece of music to accompany it, and provide a voiceover, but at this stage I'm unsure whether I should add any sound effects or not. This is probably something to worry about in the post production however.

- Location
At the moment I was thinking of filming in the Arboretum, I'll need to take some photos tomorow to help me visualise this.

- Props
I'll need several CD casess for the file sharer to copy, and I'll need to print out a front cover for each one so that it looks like an actual CD. I'll also need to make two stalls, which will need to be easy and quick to set up. I was thinking of making small structures out of wood, or maybe just use a table with a blanket over it and attach a wooden sign above it. This is probably the main concern at the moment, I'll need to figure out how to make them, and quickly!

The Quantum Matter Oscilator

Here's the latest photo of the time machine. This one appears in the pilot, but in the actual film it'll have more wires and stuff all over it, and be plugged into a larger piece of apparatus.

Time Machine

I started making the time machine for the film, by painting up an old water pistol. I gave it a layer of white first to help the silver paint show up -


And then added several layers of silver paint -

This should be dry by now, so I can add more details in pen, and I'm thinking if I can find a clock face to fit in the back of it this would look pretty cool. It'd also mean as Dr. Tipler uses it on Roger, he could dial in the time by moving the clock's hands around, which would be cool!
I started painting a mask for the robot too, I was thinking if I get like a cheap bike helmet from somewhere, I can paint that silver too and it'll start too look more robotic. This mask still has a way to go however, it needs all kinds of wires and maybe some LEDs slapped all over it -
