James Kirk, Leigh Quinn, Mark Rowley, and writer James Cathcart got their thinking caps on, and their creative ideas started flowing.
With Media Monty overseeing the script writing and some pointers for filming (yes, we can film a secret cult in the morning and Mhairi Black in the afternoon.)
To be honest, the writers were too good. They had too many ideas, which sometimes is the case.
In the producer role, David Montgomery from Media Monty worked alongside the writers to find the gems and comedy nuggets buried in the mountains of sketches.
With the writing complete, the next stage was pre-production. This involved:
Casting: Auditions to find the perfect cast
Costume: Preparation and sourcing of the perfect costumes for each character (witches hat and magic necklace included)
Location Scouting: *Cult’s secret headquarters, local farm (with cows who love karaoke and many more).
Crewing and kit preparation.
The filming went smoothly, the edit followed the well-written scripts, and we had a show—magic.
