Lux Alibi 02 - First shots, the Balegorn
-
Sassi di Furbara, those little hills will be the dizzying ridges of Balegorn.
Seen from a distance they look insignificant but closer... -
...(getting closer)...
-
...But closer they shows a lot of nice scenarios for our purposes.
Sometime, finding the right spot for filming was easier than getting there. -
Looking for the right frame.
-
Matteo and Maurilio deciding where to shoot the next scene.
-
And here it is!! Middle May 2004, firsts shooting of Lux Alibi.

These two rocky hills were really perfect to reproduce our idea of the Balegorn region, better than what we had imagined.

Looking for the right perspective.

Ready for the ciak.
-
The only problem, on our little rocky hill, was with panoramic takes: the surroundings were not as rocky as they should have been!
-
The magic of special effects solved the problem! The fields around the hills were replaced with deep valleys and gorges filmed on higher mountains.
-
Again: the rocks in foreground were the ones of Sassi di Furbara, while the ones in the background were filmed on higher mountains.

Finvarra crossing the Balegorn.
-
The scene in which a rock falls was not prepared. Fortunately Matteo was filming a bit aside!
The falling rock cut the rope. -
Mauro abseiling. Lichens gave the rocks exactly the colour we wanted!
-
The harness of Finvarra was made of a hemp rope to be more realistic. It was a bit uncomfortable, but worked so good that he is still alive!
-
At Sassi di Furbara we filmed also the "Dinner in Balegorn" scene. But it didn't work and was rejected and filmed again a few weeks later in another location.
-
A few weeks later we filmed the "Dinner in Balegorn" scene in the ancient Roman quarry of Cave di Salone.
