Hog 3 Stars in ‘Lemony Snicket’ Film
A Flying Pig Systems Wholehog 3 console was put into play in a big way in the newly-released film, ‘Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events’ starring Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep.
Scott Barnes, California-based lighting programmer, purchased a Wholehog 3 last year and has kept it working steady ever since. Filming for Lemony Snicket began in summer 2003 and ran until May 2004. Barnes used the Hog 3 to control everything from the lighting of interiors and exteriors of the sets, to close-ups of the actors. He also created the daylight, dusk and night-time looks as well.
"When you do a film, you never know what you're going to have thrown at you: whether it's adding last minute lights or creating spur of the moment effects, as the movie changes from one set to another," Barnes explains. "Hog 3 makes me prepared for anything. It's the better console because you can throw anything my way and I'm prepared! Hog 3 can handle it."
Other films on Barnes' resume include ‘Van Helsing’ and ‘Soul Plane’, both using a Hog 3, and an earlier film, ‘Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ with a Hog 2.
