Your blog is a treasure trove for actors in understanding the writers' intentions and their process. Thank you! <br /><br />Next week, we're working on multi-camera scripts and blocking. I start this session going over the multi-cam schedule that I know from my time on Seinfeld (blushing from your unwitting compliment on this episode, TY), The Golden Girls, etc. and from Kevin Bright's Typical MultiCam Schedule (on the now defunct website "Behind Friends" from Marta, David and him) - <br /><br />"Monday" - Table read. Actors meet with Wardrobe.<br />2nd day - Run-Thru after actors rehearse in the morning with the director (no cameras) <br />3rd day - Network & studio run-thru on stage bare-bones sets (no cameras)<br />4th day - Camera blocking, then run-thru <br />5th day - Shoot the damn thing with audience - (Rehearsal run-thru, then a real run-thru? pick-ups?)<br /><br />Is the multi-cam schedule the same nowadays, for the actors in particular? <br /><br />Thanks for your help. Hoping to get to your play this weekend.
