Rehearsals

I'd like to have a day of rehearsals with the actors as soon as a I return (Possibly August 8th). That way we can make sure that our actors are prepared to perform the way we need them to perform. That'll give us enough time to make any adjustments if we need to. This rehearsal is essential to achieving the "believability" of the performances. I'd also like to rehearse with a teleprompter to get the actors used to it and figure out how to integrate it into our production. While the actors shouldn't have a problem memorizing some of the conversation dialogue, there are a few long monologues for Shelly. There's also the interviews, which are lengthy. During production I don't want to battle memory loss and waste time trying to hammer through long dialogues. The teleprompter will act as a crutch if we get in trouble.

What we need for the rehearsal:
A space
Actors
Teleprompter
Video camera (i can bring this along)
Shane - you might want to come by to talk about how we wil integrate the prompter into our shoot.
