Rehearsal and shooting schedule
We’ve started locking in rehearsal and shooting dates for the coming month.
While the characters are mostly written, we do want the actors to tune their characters themselves to a certain degree, but because there’s no script, there’s no need for script rehearsal time. This leaves us with just a couple of rehearsal sessions to jam out what’s left of the characters, and then straight into shooting in mid-August.
We’re in a bit of strange place at the moment, having shot some great footage at the audition, and now waiting until the first shooting day to see how it will eventually look. We have our cast, our story arc, our characters and episode narratives, or what we’re now calling Chapters, to distinguish them from the smaller episodes released on the web, and we’re now just scouting for locations, props and costume.
One of the big problems we’re going to have, which you don’t have in a traditionally scripted production, are lots of continuity issues, and we’re currently working on ways to address this, which I’ll talk about here soon.
