The Bello Bar

So yesterday I went with the 7 Minutes with Beibhinn Crew to check out their location for the first scene, 'The Bello Bar' in Portobello. It was pretty much a standard recce, we spoke to the manager, took some photos and got a feel for the place. It's quite a big place, there's a main bar area with a sound booth, a lounge, restrooms, kitchen, a band area and a backstage area. Plenty of space for hiding lights and camera movement, electrical outlets everywhere, really, it's an ideal location. Aesthetically, there's a very nice colour palette, and the soft furnishing make it feel intimate despite the space. I'm looking forward to shooting here.
