Hey guys, as I said in a previous post, we would be doing some sort of blog. While it isn’t daily (we’ve realized that this is impossible), there will be sporadic posts about filming. At the moment though you might be wondering how I had time to write this in the middle of a day of filming. Well, the answer is simple: I’m not filming. I’m currently home because I lost my voice (which is also why there was no podcast last night) and I had a few things at home to take care of, but I resume duties tomorrow.

So, on to the first day. There’s been a change in the way we do things since season one, in the sense that we’re actually organized… to a degree. But Steven Rice, our Director of Photography, was also our schedule manager and put together which scenes we’re going to be filming each day based on location and people’s availability.

So, we started around 4:00 PM, everyone arrived an hour earlier and we needed time to set up and everything, but finally we broke the first shot with both Teddy McCormick and Lauren Bahr on the porch.

From there we continued to film all day at Teddy’s house (or James’ house) for both episodes 1 and 2 of season 2. It went pretty smoothly, all things considered, but we did hit a major snag once, but thankfully we were able to overcome that one, at least, enough to continue filming anyways.

Now on to Day Two. Day two was at the McFarlands Church (the exact name of which escapes at the moment). We also had a ton of extras because we needed to do a bunch of crowd scenes, and also some infected scenes. Surprisingly though, when it came time, it was really easy to go around and direct all of the extras on where to move, how to sit, act, etc.

Today was also first day for our season two cast. Yesterday had been entirely of our original cast (the members that were present at least), so this was interesting time as none of them had acted as their characters before. In the end though, they all did really well and it was fun watching new actors come in for season two.

The infected scenes were pretty good too, though they took awhile because they were action scenes and those definitely take a lot more work. We were also running out of daylight and we still had scenes to shoot with some guards and Charlie. Thankfully we got it all done in time though.

Well, that’s it so far. I’m hoping to get some pictures soon and once I do I’ll be sure to post them.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that we’re moving the podcast to tomorrow night. This is for many reasons, the least of which is the fact that we really need some sleep. A lot has gone on today and we’re exhausted. I apologize for the change, but we’ll do our best to put it up tomorrow. As always, leave questions here, or in the podcast thread below.

Sorry guys, I was supposed to post this yesterday but it slipped my mind (so much to do!). But here it is now. The first podcast will be up either tomorrow night or Tuesday (depends on upload times), but feel free to post any question you all might have about Season 2, Season 1, filming, ColdShoulder, or something random. Chances are we’ll be able to answer all of them, so post them in comments section!

Hey everybody! Production on Season Two of Absolution is about to begin! It’s true, on Monday (July 13) we’ll officially begin filming. So before that all started I wanted to give you all a look at what you can expect during the shoot:

Myself, Micah, and Nathan will be doing our best to do a daily blog post here on the site about what we did (with minor spoilers). We’ll do our best to include pictures as well.

Micah and I will be twittering as much as we can, normally through our cellphones. We’ll also include the occasion picture on there. Our profiles are @peter_freeman and @brilliantfilms. So be sure to follow us!

Cast photos. Naturally, we’ll be having new characters enter the show, and like we did for first season, we’ll be putting up promo pictures of them, as well as our returning characters with their “season two” look.

And finally, the thing I’m most excited about is that we will be doing a bi-weekly podcast for the show. You’ll be able to find this on iTunes as well as links to it on the website. We’ll talk about what’s gone on the days before/on the podcast. We’ll also take questions from anyone who posts them on the thread (the first of which will be posted tomorrow in preparation for the first podcast on Monday).

That’s it for now, but once filming is over you can expect more in the ways of clips, spoilers, and possibly even and event or two, so keep your eyes out and wish us luck!
