This wasn’t as much of a quickie as the other promos. Y’see, this adaptation of the Iliad is a play that Curio actually owns, so this promo’s intended to sell the play to high schools and other parties that might want to stage it, or bring the Curio people in to perform it.
If I recall, Paul Kuhn set up the stage and picked out the sections we’d be recording. We had perhaps an hour before the actors (Aetna Gallagher and Jennifer Summerfield) had to leave and, since I did want to capture most of this from several angles, we really had to rush on this. The shoot had one happy and one unhappy accident each. The happy accident is that the theater’s stained glass windows made for some visual interest. The unhappy accident is that one of the actresses flubbed a line during that slow zoom-out from the balcony… and I didn’t notice it until I was editing the thing.
