November 30, 2015: It’s on!

Today was our first official day of prep on Dark Matter’s second season.  Yeeeeah!  Following a props meeting to discuss “the claw”, we all hopped in the van and headed over to our second stage for a tour of the sets-in-progress with Episode 201 director Amanda Tapping.

Check out the pictures above.  What a difference a week makes.

“So future prison like Japanese capsule hotel!” – Akemi.  Yep.

Love the detail that went into the corridors.  Doors are, of course, of the sliding variety.  Floor will be faux-metal similar to what we have on The Raza. 

High angle overviews of the various sets in our new stage.  I envision a James Bond set roof hop sequence somewhere down the line.

As always, it’s the little details that really make a set – and Production Designer Ian Brock is a stickler for details!  Check out this ceiling element that will house an overhead fan in the antechamber outside solitary.

Our first concept meeting went off without a hitch, setting up tomorrow’s festivities:

9:30 : Episode 201 Art Dept / Set Dec Meeting

10:30 : Episode 201 Props Meeting

14:30 : Episode 201 Stunt / SPFX Meeting

15:30 : Episode 201 Wardrobe Meeting

9 days to the commencement of principal photography on Dark Matter’s second season!  You ready?

Whew!  An exhausting day.  It’s so nice to finally be home…

So I can finally get to work on those blue pages for Episode 201 – and, time permitting, make some headway into the fifth act of that other script.

No doubt that, in a few hours from now, I’ll be feeling like these two:
