Notes From the Set

We shot this episode as part of the weekend shoot in February 2011 that brought us Episode 5 and Episode 6. Writing this on the first day of September, it's hard to believe how long ago we worked on Episode 7, and how much has happened since.

We were fortunate to have the use of two excellent commercial places for this episode: Books on Beechwood and the Iyengar Yoga Centre. Staff at both locations allowed us to shoot there during off-hours, and were so kind and helpful (at Books on Beechwood, we had an early-morning start at 7:30 am). Staff at the yoga centre not only volunteered as extras, but gave pointers to the actors on how to approximate the poses, and were particularly helpful to Rachelle who had never studied yoga, yet had to be a convincing instructor, correcting her class of actors in a believable manner.

It was during the shooting of this episode that I realized what exceptionally talented comic actors our leads are. Riley, Kel and Kate riffed and improvised much of the heist scene in the yoga studio, and many of us in the crew struggled not to laugh during each take, in what turned out to be a crazily hilarious bit of slapstick humour. In a quieter vein, Jerome and Riley had spectacular chemistry and comic timing in the scene when Dan meets Bob. Hilarious and uncomfortable.

And once again, we made use of one of Tyler Kealey's songs. And keep an ear open during the yoga montage, where composer Riley Stewart gives an Eastern twist to the Sweet Tarts' theme.

We hope you enjoy the episode!
