TREES TO BE SPRAYED WITH GREEN PAINT

NOT QUITE RIGHT SHADE FOR COLOUR FILM

An American walked into a Waymouth Street, Adelaide engineering supplies firm this week and asked for a spray for spraying trees with green paint.

The sales assistant looked cautiously at the customer who went on to explain he was from the “Kangaroo” Film Unit and the trees in the Flinders Ranges near Port Augusta, the site of the new 20th Century Fox production weren’t quite the right shade of green for shooting the film in Technicolor.

One never knows what to expect next now that film-making has really come to South Australia.
