Bombs Away!

 So… this has been an interesting week. After the surreal relief of being done with Episode 5, we launched into more work. The edit is now complete through Episode 11, though there is some significant ADR that must be done in Episode 8 (the wind looked quite epic, but did our audio no favors.) Sunday, as always, we proceeded with the choreography. Though sometimes that term was used rather loosely…

I must say that’s probably the most relaxing aspect of my job.

 Now, on to the heavier news. Two bombshells were dropped on us this week. First David (our composer) has hit a rough patch in his life. Through a gradual buildup of events he has found himself in a place where he will be unable to compose for a while. Episode 5 will probably be our last episode for a while, at least until we can find someone to do the job.

On top of that, one of our lead villains backed out. This is problematic, because we already shot her scenes for Season 1, but she becomes a major antagonist in the next season. That leaves us with only a few options. We can re-cast and re-shoot her scenes (you’ve only seen her masked thus far,) re-cast and find a clever way to merge the two, or phase the character out and re-write the script.

Next week we’ll be putting out a video version of this notice, as well as a preview of what the next few episodes hold, so stay tuned for that. We will keep you all updated right here, every week, just like always. Your prayers and suggestions would be appreciated.

Until next time.
