Final preparation on The Account took place today in preparation for our first big day of shooting. Today was our tech rehearsal. The audio and video teams conducted sound checks, adjusted lighting, and tested camera angles in the newly constructed conference room set. Not all the actors in The Account were present today, so we had Turning Point employees fill in to help prepare for the first day of shooting, June 11.

The audio team hooked up both the actors and “fill-ins” to microphones to test the equipment and sound levels. Once wired with microphones, our stand-ins took their places at the Wyndham Ridgestone conference table and read through the script as the crew adjusted lighting and sound.

The film crew was also present and played with various camera angles and positions. Director of Photography, Troy Dausend, maneuvered the camera around the set, finalizing the angles that will be used in the production. Other members of the crew analyzed the footage from offstage.

Executive Producer and Director Paul Joiner was on set as well, organizing everyone and providing creative direction.

After filming the scene, the our stand-ins gathered around the computer monitor to watch the technical run-through. They were able to see their work and had a good time helping prepare for this exciting new miniseries.
