One of the very important things we do in the last weeks of pre-production are camera tests with the actors. It gives us an opportunity to see the characters for the first time, on film, in hair, makeup and costume. Generally it involves actors walking to and from the camera, but I like to encourage them to be in character and to enjoy the experience. This is a little clip we cut together to show the studio. It was their first glimpse of the new Mulan - as a village girl, a male soldier, and a warrior woman. Also their first look at her squad - our beloved group of boys and their sergeant. I love them all - and I love this piece cut by editor David Coulson #mulan #disney #yifei_cc #loyalbravetrue
