Even More Behind the Scenes

I had forgotten to post all these Behind the Scenes photos from Chapter three after finishing posting that chapter, so am continuing to do it now.

the Ice Falls

Back in February we took a day trip up north specially to take some photos at an ice falls near Parry Sound. The ice formations are everywhere up north on all the highway rock-cuts, but this one particular spot is on a very quiet driveway to a summer camp that's closed in winter.

I had packed two separate sets of dolls, each with their own horses...

First I took the photos of Baron and Rex...

...and then the ones with Kassia and Adrian...

I had planned on taking some more photos of them in Terrance Barrens on our way home, but we hit an icy spot on the road, slid into a ditch, and spent the next couple of hours waiting for a tow truck to pull us out.  By then it was dark, so no more photos.

Visiting the Wizard

This was the classic case of having to move the big table in front all the way towards the set window to make the space on the left look bigger, so I could fit everyone in at the table in the background, and have them all appear in the photos. Note the dowels across the top of the set. Those were movable so the things dangling from them, like the solar system and lights, could be moved over whenever needed.

It would have been impossible to get all four characters in the same shot if the table hadn't been moved to the side.

More Photos in the Snow

This past winter I discovered a nice trail very close to home, which has a huge block of concrete in front to keep vehicles out.  ​​

But it's perfect for posing dolls on top of for photos. Then with the dolls elevated,  I don't have to get down in the snow...

So that's it for all the Behind the Scenes from Chapter Three. Now for Chapter Four.....
