It is a real privilege to be the ‘behind the scenes reporter’ for Paradise Lost, as I get to see the latest developments and scenes on a regular basis. Every week I drop by, there is something new added to the production, Harvey and Becky seem to work 24/7 on it and it shows!

This week I was asked to take some pictures of two new members of Satans Posse (as Becky calls them); Beelzebub and Belial. Also I wanted to do a sort of official portrait of Adam and Eve, as they had some time to spare now the new Devils are rehearsing!

Since this is a real and uncut behind the scenes report, I can show you how things go when I am on the set for serious business, it’s not always as easy as it looks!

For the portrait of Adam and Eve, they posed specially for me – during one of their breaks, the picture I had in mind is somewhat like this one:



Looks ‘okay-ish’, I am just using this shot as a example to show you all what the ‘scene’ really was, before I had to crop it:



As you see in the background The Son of God is AFK, half in a tree, with no AO and just…well, standing there. He did not respond to our requests to step away. Lord knows what he was doing. Well, I suppose the Lord does know in this case. Anyway, I cropped him out.

Then I got to do pictures of Beelzebub and Belial dancing in Hell, to introduce them to the public. It was already a challenge to make a decent pic with all the flames going on, and I blame the fire for not seeing Harvey and Becky having a chat (!!!) in the background of Hell until I checked my pictures this morning to see how they turned out.

There is only so much I can photoshop, besides that I prefer actual pics of the production in progress, so I will for sure have to go back for better pictures of Beelzebub and Belial (which also gives me a nice excuse to drop by more often and snoop around..hehe!).

So, if you want to see more and better images of the new characters : keep an eye on this blog as I will be reporting from behind the scenes soon!
