Quickest filming day EVER.
There is a brief fourteen seconds where you see mermaids in our film. When I wrote the script, I only mentioned mermaids twice. When introducing Neverland, Tootles says "And [there are] mermaids. The pretty kind." Later, Peter says "Princess Tiger Lily has been captured by the mermaids." At the time though, I had no idea how I was going to film mermaids. I would have to add tails and make them manipulate the water which I knew would be tough.
Well, today was the day! Two of my pirates (Canary Rob and Chas Turly) said they would like to be my mermaids so I drove over with their costumes, makeup, and some green screen and filmed them. It was a super simple shot, but I was nervous the whole time that I wouldn't be able to get it to work. No need to be nervous though. I got the footage home and two hours later I had two living breathing mermaids (the pretty kind).
Thank you girls!
