The ice bar was a specialist effort and over the two days I think the team did a grand job. There is a palpable sense of the cold in this most remote bar two hours north east of Billings. The day we shot it was snowing heavily outside which I think made everyone’s job easier. It was not as if we were in a studio in Burbank with 90-degree temperatures outside.
It was technically a challenging image as I needed the wolf, the saloon girl, Josie Canseco, and the mountain man to be sharp or near sharp and this required a very slow shutter speed.
This is a bar that should exist somewhere. If anyone finds it please make sure to let us know.
