Hello everyone!
This forum is kind of new to me but I have a slight problem at the moment with my up-coming film.
I have a scene that consists on an old man having to enter a pond and sit in there for some time. The pond is in the middle of a forest. The problem here is that we don't have a pond and we are not allowed to dig in the forest, therefore we would need to some how construct it? Any good suggestions about this? the other problem is that were shooting in mid-Feb where the weather will be quite cold and we are worried of making our elderly actor have to enter the pond in such conditions. Water heaters are expensive, and we thought of pond heaters but were not sure if they will make the water warm enough for the man to be in, since pond heaters are only designed to keep the water from not freezing so that the fish don't die.
Please have in mind this is a student production and so our budget is terribly limited. The scene however is of extreme importance.
I would very much appreciate any help and support!!!
