Cannon Falls, MN
Lake Byllsby: I wanted a barren snowswept landscape for our Hoth scenes. Since
we hadn't gotten a decent snowfall but still cold enough to freeze the lakes over,
filming on a lake was an obvious choice to me. The only problem was to make sure there
was enough of a distance in the background so we didn't see any trees. The trees ended
up making into the film anyway, but they're really not too noticable.
Farmington, MN
Industrial park area: Having a forest area background without noise issues was
a challenge when filming in Farmington. But, after dealing with windy conditions and
even a passing train, it still all worked out for the best.
Kokomo, IN
Matt Spielman residence: Shooting out at Matt's was a necessity after his first
shoot in Winona ended up being in 90 degree heat with high humidity. The makeup did not
work well in that kind of weather. So, I shot some backgrounds at a couple of locations
and then filmed Matt against blue screen and green screen right at his house.
Pine Island, MN
David Lexvold residence: Although the original plan was to use a paintball field
in nearby Oronoco, my in-laws came through and opened up their property to us for filming.
David's property covers a few acres complete with grassy plains, woods, an outdoor cellar,
and a stream located down in a small valley. Perfect!
Winona, MN
The bluffs over Winona: This was the prime spot for the cliff scene. Not only do we
have a series of cliffs (one on top of the other) to facilitate camera operations, but it's
located in a very wooded area which made it match up well with the scenes shot in Pine
Island.
