Studio Production: Making Progress

So we've had our second workshop with Hans Petch, This time in the studio with the gallery! As Director, this meant I was able to practise using all of the available cameras and set-ups which are possible for the show. It enabled me to think about camera angles and shots, and the accessibility for each camera.

We have put two ads online on 'Star Now' and 'Casting Call Pro' and have so far had four applications, sadly none of which are suitable for our show. We are still in contact with a fantastic female comedienne that was watched by some of the Punchlines team at a local comedy night, called Dana Alexander. Dana is a very respected stand up comic from Canada, and has recently been seen on 'Russell Howard's Good News'. We have spoken to her and she seemed rather interested in the show so we may have found our first comic.

This week we met with the Set Design team in Rochester. We discussed again our ideas, what we want, and what is possible. The team have expanded on our idea and given us a 'locker room/sports hall' type theme to tie-in with the boxing theme. The plans look really good and last night we were sent a digital plan for our set, which we are really excited about and think that it fits in really well. Once the set design is confirmed, the two directors from both Punchlines and Urban review, both myself and Nikki, will meet to discuss lighting plans for the different sets.
