I started filming clips of roman all around Los Angeles to use in a larger video of a trip around the city. I shot footage at Greystone Mansion - the old Doheny mansion, which has been featured in many films and is a great period mansion with public access. I also took Roman to the Huntington Library a few times to film there and eventually used some of that footage in composites with various mattes. Heidi & I shot Roman against greenscreen on our kitchen table and I matted out the scenes in Combustion and added to the city footage. Some of the final shots are below even thought I never assembled the scenes into a coherent story.
