Living history through film - try it! | We're on way to a nice Odessa movie set restaurant |
Working on historical movies in St. Petersburg is a chance to spend long hours getting ready, and more waiting, and finally shoot a scene. The movie not with standing, you are left with some nice memories and snapshots. Lenfilms has been making movies in Russia for over 80 years and they are the biggest production company in Petersburg. LenfilmЛенфильм This scene is from "Son'ka Goldhands". Use Cyrillic encoding in the view setting of your browser if you want to read the Russian words |

| Ah, the good old days in St. Petersburg |
| | Feel yourself Russian! To be strolling in 19th century St. Petersburg along the Mars Field in Springtime ... and other seasons...
And really just looking for something to eat while waiting for the next call.
Ladies, ladies, anyone have something to eat? A pirogi (the pie) from the Cafe"Anna" by the Mars Field? Life in the cinema has it's good moments.
Usually nobody knows where to get a food.
Почувствуйте себя русским! |
| Capella courtyard movie set |
| | Work all night - very often. On the set of Admiral Kolchak with Moscow movie company-- all night at the Cappella Courtyard near Palace Square. After about 12 hours you might get some tea ... some food much later...
After shooting all night, the sun came up and some were lucky enough to get to shoot a day scene. Who needs sleep? Everyone like a zomby.
Работа на всю ночь. |
| Elegant beauty, waits for the dramatic scene |
| | Lingering scene Waiting for ... Lights, camera, music... action!

Свет, камера, музыка ... начали! |
| Lounging in the evening at the Winter Canal |
| | A Dandy on the town The turn of the century police keep things secure as you watch the world go by on the canal. It is always interesting for the first 10 hours ...
To leave the place you have to walk around not to be in the movie:)
Джентльмен в городе! |
| On Palace Square to see the new Alexander's column |
| | A bit of fresh air on Palace Square Well, after all night in a corset you need to breathe!
How did they wear these dresses back then?
Немного свежего воздуха на Дворцовой площади! |
| | Your reward - Ваша награда Look all night at an appetizing table ... but don't eat the props. By the time you finish they are not so apetizing. Wow, 100 year-old champagne that tastes surprisingly like apple juce!
Actual food for actors might be chicken with rice and tea ...
And after 6 weeks you can collect your paycheck.
И Вы можете через 6 недель получить вашу зарплату, если конечно не забудете об этом:)! |
