Studio stills selected from the shoot at Caerleon film studios showing cast and crew at work and play. This was a blue screen shoot because the university had not yet invested in a green screen (Echo was pivotal in them finally getting one!). We built the screen out of blue paper suspended on a wooden framework, but it didn’t work well, so the end result is even more Ray Harryhausen than we expected. In front of this we created the effect of a greek location, mostly through the pillar and a few bowls of fruit. Some curtains, less effective than they could have been, did the rest. It’s possible that we could have come up with a better solution had we found a proper location for the Gods, but it’s easy to know this retrospectively.
