Asheville Tourism Shoot

On Sat. Aug. 6th, 2005, a Florida based production company shot a sequence for a promotional video for Asheville tourism in BRMP’s Stage C, our largest soundstage. The sequence required BRMP’s Creative Director, Tom Barkstedt and his crew to construct a full size staircase and background which was painted as a “green screen”. A mountain biker was then videotaped riding down the staircase. Through the magic of digital effects, the green screen stairs and background were removed from the shot and the mountain biker’s image was digitally composited onto a different shot of a staircase in the Biltmore Estate. For obvious reasons The Biltmore Estate would not allow an actual bicycle to be ridden down their staircase, but we still got the shot! Casting for the shoot was handled by BRMP’s own Crystal Marie Waters. BRMP also provided a support vehicle for additional sequences of the video shot on location in downtown Asheville.
