Duca Simon Luchini Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi everybody, all the experts suggest not using the actors for the stage blocking, so I ask me... who should make (simulate) the Actor movement and overall Blocking of the scene? many thanks for a reply!

Duca Simon Luchini Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 The second team is called in. Uhm, second team...? Anyway, for a medium low budget, i don't think possible to have a second actors team... I'm wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted September 28, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 28, 2015 You use the real actors to block the scene because it affects their performance and where they stand or move will be worked out between the director and the actors. After the blocking rehearsal the positions are marked on the floor with tape and the actors step-off (usually to finish hair/make-up) and stand-ins are used for lighting and camera line-up.

Nathan Walters Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 What he said^^^As far as being able to have a second team with a medium to low budget. I've been a part of and seen numerous low budget films that were able to acquire a second team/stand-ins. If the film looks promising enough and you have good people in charge of casting, it's definitely possible. There's a ton of actors looking to obtain credits and simply be on film sets/locations.
