Visiting the behind-the-scenes of the Kamal’s Tales series at Ghazali Cinema Town
With the presence of Dr. Mirkiani, the author of the book Kamal’s Tales, today Wednesday, September 7 at 9 AM, we went to Ghazali Cinema Town and visited the behind-the-scenes of the Kamal’s Tales series. During this visit, we first became familiar with the vast dimensions of the various locations of this series. The water reservoir, the Imamzadeh, several houses, alleys, shops, and the square were among the locations that had been built. When we arrived, one sequence had been filmed, and due to the heavy makeup of one of the actors, we waited for about an hour for the new sequence to be filmed again.
During a conversation with Mr. Solh Mirzaei, we learned that yesterday his tooth broke due to a pebble in the packaged dried mulberries, and he was forced to undergo surgery and have his tooth extracted. Despite the infection and severe pain after the surgery, he appeared on location with strength and dedication and did not stop work, which was very surprising and serves as a role model of commitment and compassion for the younger generation.
Another very interesting point that was completely new to me during this visit was the hanging of very large curtains over the courtyard of Kamal’s house, which can be seen in the photos. These large fabrics were installed to adjust the lighting and block the intense heat of the filming location, which also made filming very difficult because these parts should not be seen in the footage.
Another incident that happened during that time was the collapse of one of the scaffolds inside the rooms location, which fortunately ended well and no one was seriously injured. The set designer arranged the accessories with special seriousness and watered the courtyard several times to make everything fresh and lively.
Next, we will see the photos of this visit.
