This evening, we started filming in one of our most intricately designed sets ever! Last night, Nick and Aaron-the set designers-with the crew’s help began to transform the Northern Burns’ garage into a fifth century tent.

Saturday was another early winter morning for the Pendragon crew. By 7:30 the van was on the way to the horse farm on which we had been filming the day before.

Early Friday morning, the crew headed out to the Northern Burns’s pond. God decorated the set with crystal snowflakes—the effect was perfect. The freshly falling snow helped to cover the tracks we made in previous takes. We filmed a section of the scene in which Artos, Wenneveria, Cadeyrn, and Ambrosius go boar hunting. After five …FULL POST
