SO MANY PLACES TO READ THE SAME THING!
It’s here! At least the announcement of it being here soon, is here. The cat’s out of the bag, the beans have been spilled, and the butter’s getting hard (RIP CH).
I’m very proud of all the work that has gone into this show from a team I’ve gotten to know a little better as it has progressed.
Having an inside view on how the sausage gets made from start to finish gave me a better understanding of the sausage factory that is Television.
I’d recommend to anybody, but especially to actors, to take any opportunity you have to sit in on production meetings of any scripted project, or to produce anything yourself. You will learn so much about what your role is and isn’t. It can give you a lot of freedom to do the work within your lane, and to do your best work.
We (me just as support crew/sounding board) are toward the end of post production, and embarking on the promotion of the show. There are so many questions about font, art style, slogans, logos, etc. that it reminds me of house renovation or planning a wedding. Just this end part of it is at that scale.
Editing is the hardest part of a project, from experience having produced my own reels, short form content, and a web series, and it remains true in TV. Even more so, given how many cooks want to get in that kitchen. Editing is a much overlooked and underappreciated job that is absolutely essential. On an indie project, they’re the first person to be paid, because they’re so in demand and undersupplied that they can absolutely ask for and get compensation. So please, don’t be like DeNiro, thank your local editor.
