First Witch
48 All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!Restless and excited when Patrick was recast as MacBETH, I told him that we were going straight out to take photos, if only for inspiration. I ended up taking a series of shots – 45 of those shots were considered pretty darn good, and we landed on a few exceptional ones.
I
created the poster above from one of those shots. Instead of proclaiming
“MacBETH!” across the top, I opted for the more subtle “M” with the opening
date in roman numerals. I was sure to put this in my LOOK BOOK that I shared
with the Director and the Producer (see previous blog for info on my LOOK BOOK).
Another benefit from the photo shoot was that we could see his movement in the garments. Leather doublet and black kilt, with "accessories" like tartan scarf, etc. were restrictive in movement as he climbed up a steep hill and almost fell down the same hill. In the end, we both decided that we would like to take more photos indoors to represent the conditions under which the play will be performed, that is to say, we didn't want people to get the impression that this was an outdoor play.
