To cross a bridge, a river or a border is to leave behind the familiar, personal and comfortable and enter the unknown, a different and strange world where, faced with another reality, we may well find ourselves bereft of home and identity. —Jean-Pierre Vern-ant
The bridge is an important code and has symbolic meaning in my film.
Somehow the bridge is connecting the safe place which is the village to the dangerous and unknown part of this narrative.
For that reason I had to create a not stable bridge. Something that reflects a passage and starting point of a dangerous voyage.
I had a long discussion with my art director about a suitable and meaning colour. At first I picked a brown colour. But then we both felt that there is not that much contrast with the rest of the set. Interestingly, we both simultaneously came up with the idea of painting it yellow. The yellow will stand up also it has represents an hazardous element.
I’m pleased that I managed to finish this part of the set in just one day. The next step is to build the mountain!
