Tricks of the Trade

On the production of To Love, Honor and Deceive, in the sequence where the lead actress is being stalked, the director wanted to see the actress and the stalker (now and then) only in silhouette. The only way I could come up with the proper way to photograph this was to go back to the two story mansion after dark, turn out all the lights, and note where the moonlight landed throughout the house. When we shot it we just simulated what I had seen.
