29 # Filming the pilot episode of the series again…

Reshoots have begun, or rather, filming of the first pilot episode of the first season!

The main cast of the pilot episode included Natalia Taran, Igor Suppes, Anton Shevchenko, Vitaly Orover, and Ekaterina Kharitonova.

After filming one scene of “two lovers,” as if they were breaking up, Ekaterina’s cousin Yana Chapaeva came to support her.

But Pavel and Natalia noticed Yana; she was so bright that they decided to add another character to the main plot.

As a result, Yana Chapaeva also took the lead role.

Yana’s first days of filming took place, and everyone was absolutely delighted. Yana handled it with ease, and Natalia was a great help not only in her leading role, but also in working with the other actors. Natalia played the lead role and knew better who to see in the scene next to her, correcting and directing.

At that time, Pavel had already agreed with regional TV channels on the time and place for the final pilot screening; all that was left was to wait for the filming and editing to finish.

By that time, the first pilot episode had been filmed, and Pavel decided to continue casting and assembled a full cast for the filming of a full first season, which will consist of 13 episodes!

But it was important to remember that all the actors were literally just off the street; they all came from different places, with different professions. Therefore, the actors had to balance their personal lives with filming (and sometimes it was difficult to negotiate and adapt when there was a large filming schedule and all the actors had to be in the same frame, for example).

There’s no need to worry yet, the first episode has been filmed, editing has begun, and then there will be a test screening.

The episode turned out alright, but there was a problem with the special effects. To avoid any problems at the beginning, Pavel decided to focus the series on drama, charisma, and acting, thereby smoothing over the lack of special effects.

But the TV channels didn’t appreciate this production; they weren’t impressed by it at all. They didn’t appreciate the acting. Still, there are channels willing to show this series, but only for a very modest fee, which wouldn’t even cover one day of filming.
