Hallmark
Channel Promo - When Henry Met Sally
2006
Director/DP: Brad Rushing
Producer: Harry Shelley
Agency: Stun Creative
Production Designer: Alfred Cooney
Producer Harry Shelley and Stun Creative Agency asked to replicate two
scenes from "When Harry Met Sally" for the CEO of Hallmark, Henry
Schleiff. Henry becomes Harry and reacts to the original shots of Meg
Ryan playing Sally. The goal was to make the backgrounds appear to be
from the original movie.

The
Bedroom Scene
|
 |
The original shot - "I've
gotta go..."
Not the original shot for that line in the movie but, this was a more
interesting background with the window. |
 |
A quick, on-set still of
the shot with our "Henry". |
 |
How we did it - Two flats,
three curtains, a little paint and really nice soft lighting. |
 |
The Orgasm
Scene |

|
The diner backgound - not
from the original "Orgasm Scene" but easier to achieve on a limited
budegt and timeline. We went for a similar look and decided to liven it
up a bit with a window in the background.
|

|
Here's our Henry sitting
in taking notes from Brad Rushing, the DP/Director. It is the barstools
and extras that really sell it. |

|
A wider shot showing our
Meg in the forground and the very simple set. Three basic flats that
aren't even entirely painted and a little bit of camo net outside of
the window. A bar and two tables complete the illusion.

The Drawings
|

|
The basic set-up used to
recreate the original shot. This document used to communicate to the
Producer and Agency that we could replicate the set very efficiently.
The DP used it to get a sense of the space he was going to need around
it and the Gaffer used it on the day to begin setting lights.
|

|
A camera view from inside
the 3D model that approximates the shot. The DP was able to get a sense
of camera position, lens length and rough framing.
