Location

Our next task was to seek a location to film our piece in. First we had an idea of heading out the back of the Witt institute where a graveyard is located. We took a walk on a nearby path that ran close to a river and then lead back around to the graveyard. We found that the scenery just wasn't what we were after, we wanted something a little more colorful and open. We decided this was not the place.
That same afternoon we went to another location, Tupare. Straight away we knew this was the place.
Tupare is a landscaped garden that over looks the Waiwhakaiho river on the outskirts of New Plymouth. The propertys original developer was prominent businessman Sir Russell Matthews who brought the land in 1932. The properties landscaped garden contains majestic trees, a water feature and extensive plantings in different settings.

These are some photos taken on the day we were scouting.
