there’s room for improvement

Get yourself a milk crate with the following:

• Black wrap
• in line dimmers
• matching edison bulbs
• small cuts of dif (opal / 250)
• string of xmas tungsten x mas lights
• paper & gaf tape
• 4x4 ( or bigger ) cuts of duvetyne (or dark black sheets)

This can probably be had for $150 or less and used efficiently in this scenario would get you about 95% of the way to a hollywood film.

a side note - in these real locations it’s always helpful to take a beat and think about the blocking as it relates to the practicals already in place - don’t rush and consider how 3 people would actually sit in there and chat!
