Man...planning to direct is stressing me out. I'm directing a modern envisioning of shakespeare and so I've been drawing a lot from Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio because that movie's gold. The picture above is a "sword" from the movie.
I've been doing some location scouting, trying to find the right place but don't think I've found it yet. I'm working on a shot list but its going to have to stay pretty general until I'm certain of where I want to shoot.

I know I want to shoot a low-key scene with lots of shadows but I can't plan my lighting without a location. So i guess, I'm pretty hampered by my lack of location but I'm fixing it.

More soon...
