Blocking out the Web Series

Today we did our first round of blocking and "boot camp" for our new web series. The actors were all there and we brought in our weapon specialist Jose Domenguiz. He was in the military as a ranger.

The first thing the actors learned was the proper way to hold a gun. Silly to think but this one part can make or break a film. They learned how to hold all sorts of guns from rifles to hand guns.

Next they moved onto moving in formation and how to walk with a gun and still concentrate on the lines. This will be instrumental in the series. They learned the wedge formation and how to do bounding.

After a lot of rehearsing and moving around in what seemed like silly ways, the actors finally had it roughly down. Next week we will be doing further blocking on location and really start planning out the rest of the series.
