Set Production...hurdles

I am trying to make up for the inconsistent updates. I had a lot of issues with the Brooke's bedroom set. The reason is simple, our location was a vacant bedroom. Why would that be daunting? Because we would have to fill the room with life to break up the bland walls.
And we had issues with representing our character through the set. She's an interesting character...very girly and very controlled. Her girliness is very old fashioned though because she is a romantic but she is not a modern girl in style.
But the room itself was really small...very beige and difficult to block. We wanted both Brooke and James to use the room as a breaking point (both characters make very big life altering decisions in this room). But its hard to block out both the character and the camera movement because of the pokey size and huge bed that obstructed movement.
Not to mention the fact of the pokey bathroom we had to film in...and the room need a girls touch to set the mood.
It was a hard job but we did eventually figure out something...I will post those production stills later. So that you can all see the final product. It was a two person effort but given more time we could have done a lot more with it.
