Production Design

One of the things that very first inspired this project was a Final Cut Pro X plug-in called “ProPixie 5k” by Pixel Film Studios. We will be using this in post production to make this beautiful location even more beautiful.
Our lead charcter’s nightie design is currently finalized and will evoke both the dress Alice wears in Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” and Wendy’s nightie from Disney’s “Peter Pan”.
We Will be shooting Finding Fairies on a Red Dragon for both interior and exterior shots. The 6k resolution will let us really pull the colours and magical light out of our forest location.
Our primary shoot location will be Beach Estates Park in Nanaimo BC.

This little park tucked into the middle of town, is a perfect little oasis with lots of accessibility but a feeling of untouched nature and a unique rainforest feel.
We have a fantasically tempered bunny named “Ninjer” that will play the main rabbit role.

He has been being trained since he was young and is able to be directed reasonably well (he’s still a rabbit...). He will be shot both on location &  on green screen.
