Rehearsals

To ensure that our cast is suitable for the video, we arranged a series of rehearsals. Due to the busy Hurtwood schedule it was not possible to gather all the performers in a single time slot, so we filmed test shoots of the band, the lead singer, the trumpet player and one of the back vocal singers separately. The video presents candidates who we thought would be the best in their roles:

As a result of the rehearsals, my group decided to find a new pianist, because he proved to be the least confident on camera. These meetings also gave the performers an idea of what is expected from them, and allowed them to develop their acting independently.
