Hello again! We have just received some good news. "Meanwhile in Space" has been well received by the public so the Studio has ordered another 8 episodes for the season. And we'll know by the end of the season if we're being picked up for another!
In filming Episode 2: Tough Nuggets, we ran into our first problem. The script called for most of the episode to take place on the Chicken Queen's ship, but we only had one set! How do we go about letting the audience know that even though the background is the same that it's a different location? We decided that captions would do the trick, but just in case we hired a lot of extras to dress up like robots. Chicken Queen likes to hang out with robots; Sundance has no robots. Takiing into account that our audience isn't comprised of idiots, this should be clearer to them as the series progresses. We're keeping our fingers crossed for more sci-fi sets. The writers do not like the idea of being confined to one location.
In the episode, you'll see Falken Fricano (Timmy) dancing. We got quite lucky in that Falken had majored in dance in college. He really wanted to show off his dancing ability, but we had to ask him to tone it down. While Falken might be a classically trained dancer, Timmy isn't.
Elizabeth Langridge (Astralyn) wasn't keen on being tied up the entire episode, but seeing as she had recently injured her ankle, we were under strict orders to keep her as stationery as possible. While it wasn't a good idea to make her stand the entire episode, she soldiered through it with grace and style. She had her own special chair between takes.
We might be losing Khadijah Brown (Chicken Queen) because she expressed her extreme displeasure with being in a chicken suit all the time. Negotiations with her agent are in the works.
That is all for this episode! I hope that you enjoy it!
