Play The Rhythm Of Translation
- When acting with live translation apps, sync pacing and decide beats together to maintain rhythm and frustration.
- Use cues to play waiting, surmising, and comedic absurdity without breaking character.
The Umbrella That Wouldn't Cooperate
- Rhea and Vesca used the grave-walking beat and an umbrella prop that repeatedly caused them to redo takes for timing.
- The umbrella became a running challenge and inside joke about how small technical bits can dominate a scene.
Seamless Stunt Swaps
- Stunt double Heather studied Rhea's mannerisms and matched her run so well the swap looked seamless on camera.
- The crew executed near-frame-perfect Texas swaps to combine stunts and performance safely.
