Yeah. And that’s fascinating because when I first heard about this project, I would have assumed you shot actor A, you know, all of actor A stuff and then the same crew, which you, all of actor B’s, but you actually shot that in real time too. So, these actors are actually interacting with each other in real.
Gavin Michael Booth
Yeah, they’re live over the phone. There was a lot of R&D to go into that to make sure we could keep, because there’s a thing called like audio drift where the longer you roll a camera, sometimes the timecode can go slightly out of sync. And then the fact that sometimes when you’re on a phone call and things can get delayed by a millisecond or two and just everything we had to do to make that work. But if we had shot one side and then the other, it would be really unfair to the second actor that had to do it, because then the second actor has to memorize the exact blocking like beat by beat second for second of when this person speaks, when they don’t to make sure they’re speaking in between the gaps. Whereas this way it’s actually, it’s like a stage play, only the stage is in two different parts of a city and the actors are never seeing each other face to face.
