This scene had to have the bin, so when Elijah’s big brother Tom was filming us, this seemed a good screenshot to use.
First draft needed a bit of work. We have our bins positioned backwards, but that means the lids are at the front, hence the yellow lid was near Elijah. To give the scene more colour, I asked Fatima to move it to the back. Then we changed Elijah’s clothing (I felt the yellow T-shirt under the shirt looked a bit odd) and gave the newspaper a local touch – the Blue Mountains Gazette is our local paper, which we featured in last year!
The bins had to be 3 bins, so the shading was changed. We moved the newspaper round so it could be seen. I know we were not on the front cover, but hey, that’s what artistic licence is for! It’s a good Easter Egg! Then I decided that this would be a good scene to add Saffy into. Finally, the water bottle was renamed after the indigenous name for Katoomba, ‘Kedumba’, another Easter egg for those who spot it!
