We were discussing possible locations for the external shot, and the implications of the location we had chosen. Originally we wanted the character to climb a tree full of shiny objects. We had a tree in mind, but felt the surrounding area was not right for what we needed. Further discussion lead us to the conclusion that a live-action tree (particularly a leafy one) would be an impossible task to integrate with the CG character in the time we have. This would require CG tree and then all of the leaves on top of this.
We considered a few locations further north using cliffs and caves instead of a tree for the home of the creature. As we debated this, Phil suggested we try a place called Lunan Bay.
This would tie in with our original beach idea, but also contains some of the rocky elements we were considering for the creature's home. It seems to be a very likely candidate for our new exterior location and the guys and I are planning a visit there sometime soon.
