Hey everybody,

Today it’s all about adding stuff to the walls to suggest a school janitor’s closet. I thought old hygiene posters or other things you’d see relegated to the closet at a school  would be a good start. The pictures will most likely need to be moved so they can be positioned behind the actors–i have enough room to get short depth of field, especially with an adapter. I’ll throw a few more up there, but I think this is good enough to start evaluating some camera angles and determining the minimum number of setups needed. It’s also enough so I can get the lights on and see how things look.

Here’s where I start—this is a garage-converted-to-office that must be transformed into a high school maintenance closet. The embarassing sheet covers sliding glass doors to the room’s real closet, so I have to cover them up. I have some posters and things and I may need something large to just stack up against the wall. But that comes next.

This room’s about 9×16, so I plan to build the set 9×12 and have 4 foot on opposite end of the room for lights, equipment, etc. (i.e., behind the 180 degree line.) There’s carpeting on the floor; since that’s not appropriate for a janitor closet and I plan to have a trash can slide on a wheel dolly across the floor. I’ll need something harder. Other than that, this room will rock as a fully-controllable set.
