Lights, Camera, History Boys!

This past weekend, we have been filming a movie.

But Alex, I thought you were doing a play! First you tell me that there is singing and dancing in this "play." Now you are telling me there is a movie?

Yes I am. High above the stage, there is a mammoth movie screen. During scene changes, the audience is treated to short clips of various "goings-on" at the high school. Not only does it distract the audience from noticing the scene changing, but it also gives insight into what happens in between scenes. They are not merely for show. They enhance the story at hand.

So for the last couple of days, we have been in the generous, wonderful, and hysterical hands of Mr. Ben Taylor, the man responsible for all of the video segments in EVERY SINGLE PRODUCTION OF THE SHOW...EVER! He, among others that we have worked with during this process, is partly responsible for all of the awards this show has recieved. We couldn't be more fortunate to get to work with such amazing people.

We got to set early both days, got into our signature school suits and makeup, and off we went!

We filmed opening shots of the first day of school, the boys goofing around in the hallway, the boys studying for Oxbridge exams in the library, and many more.

It's going to be edited together and put on screen with incredibly important 80's jams behind it. It is going to look gorgeous and very clean.

I am going to post a bunch of pictures! So heads up!

Oh yeah, I forgot! We also had a photo shoot! We took pictures for the poster and ads, so the minute those are available, I will post that as well.

Thanks for reading!
