In this segment of Show Us Your Shot, filmmaker Jillian Bullock explains how her DP created a desert shot at night, while shooting in Pennsylvania.
We had filmed some scenes at the Bill Pickett Riding Academy, in Philadelphia, a horse-riding stable. My DP, Lamont Fountain, and I were there trying to figure out where we could shoot to make it look like a battle area in Iraq or Afghanistan. Since we were shooting at night, we figured we could fake out a spot in the woods behind the stables. When Lamont saw a mound of sawdust, he thought it would be good to use because it looked like sand. The way Lamont lit the scene, it looked real.
