Vultures Eps4: ‘The Case Of The Poisoned Dates’ Behind the Scenes (Video)

With the release date for episode 5 soon to be announced and a lot of people asking me about this over the past few months; I’ve finally uploaded ‘The Case Of The Poisoned Dates’ – Behind the Scenes.

The above video offers an insight into life behind the scenes of Mycrofilm’s web-based sitcom Vultures; beginning on the first day’s shooting for episode 4, back in October 2008. There’s footage throughout the preceding five weeks of shooting and some hilarious interactions and conversations with the cast & crew of ‘The Case Of The Poisoned Dates‘ right up until the last day’s shooting.

Running at 40 minutes or so, it’s nearly as long as the episode itself; this may be too long for some but for me it’s just right. So many people have asked me about seeing behind the scenes and in my mind this is a good insight to the production side of making the extremely low budget webcom.

More importantly it’s for the cast & crew who gave up their free time and worked so hard, making my first directing experience a truly awesome one. Some days of shooting flew by so quickly and I hope this will be another great way to remember working on the show (aside from the resulting episodes of course).

Unfortunately due to size constraints; I wasn’t able to upload a HD version, meaning the quality of photos in the video isn’t great, but that bit’s only at the end and you can check out all my behind the scenes photos here on flickr.

As usual any comments, criticism or feedback on the video & photos would be greatly appreciated.
