Uncover the Mysterious Power of the Ladybug Effect with Greg Porper – SYS Podcast Episode 535 Exclusive!
But we felt really good about it about a year after. So, this is now January 2020. But COVID forced us to say, we’re sitting with this, I remember kind of leaving the script be for like a month or two, like after looking at it every single day, and rereading with a fresh set of eyes, I’m like, oh, this should change. This should change. Oh, we should do this. Let’s do this. And just being away from the script allowed to us to revisit it. And that actually then from there, it’s like, you do have to know like when to stop up with the edits. But we realized there was more work to be done. And I think the original those drafts at the time in January 2020, it was written for this is a really fun story, but it wasn’t written with, well, how are we going to do this, you know, on a on a tight production budget? The main character in the opening scene was, you know, rushing through the streets of Milwaukee, holding a cake for her boss while on a scooter. And then she nearly gets hit by a car and she wipes out and she’s on the docks and she’s on there’s a boat where the party is. And the boat starting to go into Lake Michigan and because she was late. And so she gets on a kayak and she’s on the kayak and she’s going toward the boat and she climbs up the side of the boat. That’s super fun. That’s a lot of fun. That’s not happening in this movie. So, it’s like there’s moments like that that just like just reevaluating it with a production standpoint. So, like those edits then like throughout 2020, going into 2021, because we were editing up until production and even during production, which was in 2022. It was really more the edits were now becoming more so on the production mindset. And it’s like sometimes there’s changing the location, but again, even a few times changing the location ended up having an unintended ripple effect moving forward as well. So, there were some page one rewrites even at that point as well.
