I spent yesterday morning running camera for casting again. It's fun because I get to see all the actors and their various takes on the characters. It also shows you parts of the script that need reworking because the actors might be coming in and showing anger and frustration when we want them to show apathy or sarcasm. That was especially the case for actors who have been reading for the lead male role. We want them to be witty and flippant but they're reading it with anger. I think the dialogue in the script is at fault, but I don't have any creative control over that so I can't change anything. Amy Severson (our casting director) is really nice though and loves to hear my opinion. I want to be a director, but she thinks I like casting and acting, so who knows...
I spent the afternoon making copies of a revised script and lining sides for various people. Lining involves going through the script and drawing lines with a straight-edge to separate the scenes from each other. The Post Office wants sides so they can approve their logo and offices for our use. I also moved around some equipment as we continue to set up our offices.
Check back later for today's recap.
