💖🎥 Repost : Fall 2023 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 Magazine: 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘦
⁣
A film based on Barbie had been in various stages of development for more than a decade, but when it was announced that Greta Gerwig would be taking on the project, hot on the heels of her tremendous work on 2019’s 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯, it was clear that this was going to be something special. Now, three years later, 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘦 has hit with the sort of seismic impact that can be likened only to that of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.⁣
⁣
To create the colorful fantasy world of Barbieland, the bulk of the film was shot at Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden in the U.K., where Chris Bain worked as A Camera operator. 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 was able to connect with Bain to ask him a few questions about what it was like working on such a unique film.⁣
