Kongou

Tea!

Where?

Beach, docks, nice cafe. The Tea Cosy looks okay.

Ideas and shots

Can we tell a story? Suggestion from a friend, a mini sequence of respite, duty, longing. Eg. Relaxing, receiving the call to duty, departing.

Being Kongou, we *need* some tea, ideally in a sort of old-fashioned setting. But maybe a somewhat formal English setting will do as well.

We only have so much time, I think we'll do best sticking to some nice tea, and a bit of water settings.

Planning

This could be remarkably troublesome; finding a nice setting with tea and food is kinda tough. The Tea Cosy looks a little *too* cosy, but I'll check it out. It seems promising.

Honestly we could almost fake it up, we just need the end of a table and some nice chairs, throw a doily over it and drop some teacups and accoutrements - ghetto mini set.

We think that a very light mint green would complement Kongou's palette, which is basically red/brown/yellow on white.

Adrian's (Chris') elegant chair might also be useful, but in a studio setup.

Tide times

In case we're going to shoot anywhere on the water:

For bays, the ideal time is *probably* just after high tide, when any crap in the water (seaweed etc) will be washed out to sea again.
