Elements of Note
Unsurprisingly, this production involved quite a bit of fight choreography. Throughout our process we worked with weapons, blood, and wounds! Example paperwork is available farther down this page.
The entirety of the set was like a giant chalk board. The walls, stairs, and floors were able to be written on with chalk! This was a great opportunity to learn the best method for removing chalk dust from a set.
Cameron Carcasson, a member of our properties team, custom-made slides to be used for Caesar's funeral scene. These slides were comprised of real wound photos, as well as images of our Caesar.
