"That there's some corner of a foreign rooftop That is for ever England."
The joys of low budget film making! I needed film of a fluttering Union Jack on a flagpole for an element in a VFX composite I'm planning.
So, one $6 flag from eBay, a length of pvc drainpipe from the scrap heap, a length of rope from the greenhouse and four grabber screws!
Strapped to my chimney and a low angle to mask the trees and Pandannas and this will pass for North Africa, 1942!
My camera case has a piece of sign work on it, which will end up in the film. The graphics will be printed out as a sign board, that a worker will be seen painting.
I still haven't got my Spitfire to filming standard, but I now have the flag it flies past!
Anyway, with the year over, it's time to say
"Happy New Year, Moonbasers!"
Looey

A filmmaker friend of mine took a shot of a big US flag that flies here in Santa Monica for his film. Surroundings cropped out of course. He was going for a Douglas MacArthur insert. https://scdisposal.com/htmls/flags.html
