NIGHT WALKER UPDATE
WELL, IT IS NOW MID JUNE AND THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR & MYSELF HAVE ALREADY BEGUN PRE-PRODUCTION ON NW MAINLY INVOLVING LOCATION SCOUTING. LAST WEEKEND WE VISITED A VERY GOOD POTENTIAL LOCATION FOR THE MUGGING SCENE WHICH INVOLVES NW BEING MUGGED BY A SMALL GANG OF 3 WHO PROCEED TO BEAT & KICK HIM INTO A COMA FOR HIS MEAGER BELONGINGS! JUST BECAUSE I WEAR A MASK, DOESN'T MEAN I AM NOT REAL...
THE LOCATION IS IN AKABANE ABOUT 20MINS FROM THE STATION (WALK) AND 7 MINS BY CAR (FROM AKABANE STATION). THE LOCATION CONSISTS OF; 2 RIVERS, SOME BRIDGES, WALKING PATHS AND LOTS OF GREEN GRASS ( A RARITY IN TOKYO!).
THE ATMOSPHERE IS PLEASANT WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, LONELY AND A LITTLE MOODY (PERFECT FOR THIS SCENE!). FOR MORE IN DEPTH INFO SEE THE LOCATION CHECKLIST BELOW.
