First rehearsal
Its been three weeks or so since the last post, but that doesn’t mean we’re standing still. Our first cast rehearsal is this weekend, amongst a whole bunch of other unrelated shows that a lot of us are doing.
We’d originally planned two rehearsals, to flesh out the characters to a certain degree, and then the first shoot, but in a moment of overconfidence, we’re going for some one on one talk throughs with each cast member, then one and a half rehearsals and straight into the shoot.
In the past few weeks, we’ve been scouting for locations and props, as well as tuning the series arc some more, particularly the character arcs, what the characters start and end with, what their journey is, what they learn, what their flaws are.
So, first rehearsal in 3 days, another rehearsal and the first shoot in 10 days. Exciting.
We’ve also all but decided to produce at least 4 episodes before release, so we have some lead time once the series is up and running. We still want to incorporate viewer feedback into the character and story arcs, so we can’t get too far ahead, but enough to be safe in case we have shooting issues.
