From October 31 to November 17 I would make periodic visits downtown to see the sets evolve and to feel the vibe of the visitors. I never really expected to see any of the actors and to that end I was not disappointed. It truly is magical what the creative process is in envisioning a story line and a physical backdrop to visually tell the story. I imagined folks at their desks years ago mapping out this thing which has come to pass. I was thrown off base on my first visit on Halloween seeing postings of Salem events. It did not connect for me until only a little later and the fact that this movie set depicted a Halloween scene in Salem. I would visit during the day and night and snap a shot here and there. It will be interesting to see what it looks like on the screen. In the interim, we will be watching The Gilded Age which was filmed here many months ago. This Newport thing, I really enjoy, if it weren’t obvious. Enjoy a stroll around Washington Square and then search my photos of Amistad, set in the same location in 1997 but creating a scene from 1830. Just Fascinating!
