One Week!
No, this is not a post dedicated to the awesome Barenaked Ladies song. There is only one week until the official screening of Royal Treatment! (I’ll give you all a minute calm down)
The final touches are being put on our episodes and the stress levels have never been higher. Our lovely editor Jill is hard at work color-correcting and inserting reaction shots. The composer, Alyssa, is putting music in certain portions of the webisodes to enhance our project. Last but certainly not least, our sound mixer Chris is sweeting the actors voices so they sound like a choir of angels!
Also, let’s not forget the three remaining posts containing actor and production crew mini-biographies! Two amazing ladies and one extremely hilarious actor are still to come! Check in tomorrow to find out who comes next.
As this post, and many of our crew members’ college careers, comes to a close, I’ll leave you all with a quote by famous pioneer Kit Carson:
I just wish I had time for one more bowl of chili.
