Chris - Location Report / ロケハン

Hello everybody! Chris here. Things are shaping up quite nicely as we move quickly towards our first day of filming on the 24th of this month. So much goes into production before the first day of filming. Make up tests, lighting tests, equipment check, script rewrites, script read throughs, and so much more! I have been working in entertainment for over 19 years now, but this was my first time working on location hunting with everyone.

Instead of showing off Tokyo that everyone knows, we really wanted to head to a more country setting and introduce *traditional Japan* to people who may not have seen it before. We selected the city of Yamanashi for our main filming. Yamanashi is a small city, but five minutes out side of the city proper you are surrrounded by lush forests and mountians. It is amazing! Our production team recently went to Yamanashi to do some final lighting tests and camera angle checks. So beautiful! More than ever I am so excited to get into filming so we can show all of you the natural beauty and wonder of Yamanashi. For now, check out our photo gallery and get a sneak peak at some of the places we will be using as we shoot *Nopperabou!*

Yours Chris McCombs Actor Producer 皆さま、こんばんは！今月の24日から”Nopperabou”の撮影が始まる。撮影の前、準備がたくさんある。ヘア・メークテスト。ライティングチェック。台本書き直し。リハ、ロケハン。。。19年間俳優なんだけど、今回初めてロケハンに参加した。アメリカ人がよく知ってる東京ではなくて、自然が綺麗な山梨で撮影することにした。もうちょっと伝統的な日本を皆に紹介したいと思う。もう知ってると思うけど、山梨県の中心はわりと大きな町がある。でもその町から10分ぐらい運転すれば、周りが全部山と森になる。素晴らしい！ Tokyo Cowboys のプロダクションチームが今週ロケハンするために山梨に行って来た。本当に綺麗だよ。皆に見せるために早く撮影したい。とりあえず、Tokyo Cowboys のホームページの PHOTO みにあるロケハンの写真を是非チェックしてください！
