Behind the Scenes

Some behind the scenes work has been going on these past several days, I've been quite busy jetting bewteen Apple Valley and Italy to visit family and take care of business.

Last Actor Adopted. Beck (Randy) was adopted by Roswell and his information is online now. Olivia (Lani) was adopted by Simmerville and A'ron (Meka) was adopted by Apple Valley.

Set Location Moved. The set location has been moved to another locale, it was hard to keep the relationships of the cast seperated from thier real-life relationships and some townies seemed to be always around the set. Well the move has been finalized and the two main sets have been transferred. The crew has finished building a beach set for next season with the ice cream shop and boardwalk shop, not to mention the sandy dunes and tropical plants to finish the set. The crew is scouting locations for a ski lodge set for next season as well.

Season One DVD in process. Found a source to host the last season's episodes. Technicians are putting the episodes in downloadable formats and uploading them to the network. Hopefully this work will be complete by the end of the year.

Episodes 15, 16 are completely edited and packed, I just need to send to network. Now the next two episodes need to be edited and sent to the network. I have been thinking of chaning the episode airing schedule this season to ensure that we end the season with episode 20, that means season two will need to be altered as some of the episodes will need to flow into season two. This isn't a bad thing since that means that the first two episodes of season two are filmed, but reworking the timing of the storylines will take some work.

Been calling back actors for some scenes to be reworked. Thankfully we have new technology to make things a bit easier.

In Italy met with some family members and we looked through my brother and sister-in-law's assets-including the fashion house A. Petragnani. Right now there are not any new collections, but I wonder if we should revive the fashion house-at least to clothe the cast from Pahala Shore. We're having a hard time finding items for Jasmine's character (Nailah) since her style is comfy casual, but not college grunge. Also, Tatiana (Sierra) wears a lot of ethnic inspired clothing which is hard to find. I hate that this, but it's something we can look into.
