Step two. a completely new approach

So, the next step...

First, Bridget rightly, hated the original start of the painting. It did not show what happens on a movie set. It looked more like a staged portrait.

In order to capture all of the activity and sitting around that is a movie set, I needed to include a lot more people and physical references. I took the original start, turned it on its side and began laying in more information. At this point it looks very confusing, but you can see the inclusion of the wardrobe trailer, one of the actor's trailers, and the long table for eating at base camp. The green arm is the director's holding a pink script (scripts change colors based on the number of re-writes it has undergone).

The painting is now fully underway, and to a much better end.
