7 Months Later, "Baba Yaga House" Begins Taping!

With 7 months of writing/planning, a 1 person cast, a $0 budget, absolutely no training in film, and a dream I have had for a looong time now, Baba Yaga House is finally ready for its first day of taping.
What you see are pics of the stage, and the supporting characters.
It will be a kids show designed to teach, while uniting and bringing together the nations of Russia and America.
The "stage" is basically just a green screen which is later taken out via a chroma keying technique that turns the green transparent, allowing for a background to be added in post production.
One of the first things you learn about filming live action is that there is NEVER ENOUGH LIGHT. What you see in the picture is only 3 of the lights pointed at the green screen. The near impossible ideal scenario to achieve is to illuminate the green screen and your face while keeping shadows to a minimum. There's light coming from the front, above and below. Since I don't have a budget, there isn't any professional lighting, just lamps.
The supporting characters are Fred, the Woolly Mouse, and Aleksander, the Duck of Straw. Each has their own quirks and personalities to accompany me on set.



To be honest, the script isn't done, and never will be.
I have an outline, and plan to ad-lib the whole thing.
It should be interesting.












The show will include cuts to animated segments which will correspond to the theme of the show.
I hope for it to premiere March 7th.


And here is the opening Credits!
