Casting Calls

This past week, our cast was revealed to the rest of the crew and I am beyond happy with it. And massive shoutout to our casting director and director for, not only finding the talent, but also finding and creating a diverse cast. Without getting too into it, but with all the Hollywood ‘white-washing’ that’s […]

The Good, The Bad & The Dream

So I think I’ll discuss our pilot episode for the web series as per the order of this blog post’s title so it can be a positive sandwich where ‘the bad’ is in the middle but it begins and ends more positively. Okay, so after having watched our original cut of the pilot, I didn’t […]

For Better Or For Worse

And in sickness and in health, we got it together for the presentation. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to present with my group, but I still got a chance to see some of it and I was with them prior to the presentation helping to prepare so I knew what was being said. And since we […]

Trying Times

Because we really were trying to get it together in time for our pitch presentation. We met up with the writers and discussed the plan for the presentation and tried to flesh out the vision for the web series. But before we get to that, something that would have helped with the ‘vision’ part of […]

What Break?

So since we didn’t finish filming the entire pilot in the one day like we had planned, we obviously had to come in for a day during our one week break to film one last scene that had all the characters in it. And like last time, we did more or less better than planned. […]

Let’s Get This Party Started

And that we did. We started filming for our pilot episode and we did more or less better than planned. Before the day, we did sort out some things to make sure that we were as prepared as we could be. This meant having a shot list and schedule so we wouldn’t waste time on […]

Party Planning

Just kidding, it’s not actually a party, but considering the group I’m in, it may feel like it so I’m looking forward to filming. We’re actually planning for the production of a web series, or in simpler terms, we’ve finally started pre-production of a pilot episode. After the talk we had with the writers last […]

Read It Out Loud

Because who doesn’t love a good table read? And in our case, it was 7 scripts that we had to read through. It was really good to finally see a completed script, though they may not be completely polished, but complete regardless, and to have 7, each with their own direction, was even better. And […]

Give Me A Rating

A new week calls for a new response from the Screenwriters on the dialogue videos we made in response to the characters that they had written. And what we got back was definitely not the response we were expecting because the questions that the two groups we had to split into as a Media collective […]

Class Act

To end the week, we had a class exercise where we filmed a scene as a collective and we went through the different roles in production, particularly that of a 1st Assistant Director, and the operations of a set when filming. But before we allocated ourselves to roles and pulled out any equipment, we went […]
