Location Scout #1

Hi, Henry here!

I like to make movies, and I wanted to share that passion with the group. So we decided to be ambitious, and make a movie together. But there are so many steps!

After a big brainstorming session in the studio, we created a map of ideas to choose from.

The next step was to look at all of the ideas, and think of some good locations to set the scenes of our story.

On this day Theo, Finn, Nora, Angel and I looked over the brainstorming chart in a nearby cafe.


Theo was cast as Jack Frost, a character we are familiar with from other stories but we wanted to make it our own.

We decided that the sloping hills of the Trinity Bellwoods dog park would be perfect for his home!

Nora was designated the official photographer for the day, and took some great photos for inspiration.


Finn was cast as the Goblin King, so we decided that we might include a scene where he has a dinner party with Jack Frost, right in between two matching trees.


And just in case they might need a hideout in the story, Nora took a photo of what that would look like.



We are planning our next location scout very soon! Here is a final snap of Theo, who is positively glowing! Can you figure out what is making his coat light up like that?
