Work for Season 4 Moving Along

We sent out the first few scripts to the cast. So now every cast member has two scripts and are expected to learn thier lines for filming. The costume designer has submitted a mark-up of the possible clothing for the cast for the season. It is easier to observe the continuity of the characters's clothing and note any obvious glares in the system. We made a few minor changes, I felt that Nailah's original wardrobe did not convey her character's innocent qualities enough nor reflected on her background as the daughter of a minister, so we completely revamped her wardrobe. I think the wardrobe for Missy are dead on. They reveal her meticulous behavior and her need for keeping apprearences, also Opal's (Montana Rolfe) wardrobe was another hole-in-one as it showcased her haughty attitude.

Speaking of Montana, I found out that her soap, Lock Bay, is slated as a mini-series. So now there is the possibility of signing her for a full time role on the soap. This would alter Roxy's storyline for season 5, not much though, simply her locale would change. We'll have to think about it. Right now Roxy's in a good place-both sides of her personality are being appealed (she's enrolled in advanced molecular chemistry classes while enjoying her job at the design firm), Opal could shake things up a bit. Well, that means more thinking.

The schedule for the remainder of this year is complete:

November: Wardrobe. Cast members are expected to arrive at the studio for wardrobe fittings and make-up and hair experimentation. Once thier character's clothing and hair and make-up have been chosen for the season, the cast is free to return to thier native hoods for a brief holiday.

December: Read-Thrus. Cast members are expected to arrive to the studio for read thrus of the episodes and marking on the set. Once read-thrus and markings are done to the satisifaction of the director and producer, the cast is free to return to thier native hoods for a brief holiday before filming starts in the beginning of the year.

Well, I am off to another staff meeting, we're reviewing the set plans for the sorority house.
