Lovebites TV

And they could not look better. The crew came onto set yesterday at 5PM, we began filming around 7PM and we shot through the night (since we were shooting night scenes at a bar) til our Director, Katy, called the final “Cut!” at almost 6AM this morning. It was a fantastic night, full of energy, laughs and many people taking naps in the corner.

The best part is, we’re all up and ready to do it again today – hopefully by 6AM tomorrow morning, the headline will read “6 down, 59 to go” (well actually 5-and-a-half down and 59-and-a-half to go – since we’re actually shooting two-and-a-half scenes today)!

And just like that, everyone gathered into the production offices on Friday night and clinked glasses as we drank and geared up to go home, for the last time til production begins. We begin filming lovebites - season two this Monday and are scheduled to go straight through for five weeks — shooting three episodes a day — 15 episodes a week, with a total of 65 episodes.

I’ll keep you all posted with what’s happening on set!

And just like that, our week of rehearsals is over and the actors/actresses and Director are off to shoot “lovebites – season two”!

We had an incredibly productive week in LA, reading and rereading each and every of the 65 episodes. We began the week simply hearing the scripts with the actors sitting around a small table but by the end of the week they were using wads of paper as props and running around the room as if it was the busy city street it will look like on screen.

While the Director will spend this upcoming week scouting locations and working with the actors/actresses, we will stay here in LA and work on rewrites (in the hopes of tweaking and making the scripts as funny as possible). I will then leave LA on Sunday and join everyone on set as we begin shooting “lovebites – season two” at 5PM Monday the 30th (that is correct, our first week are night shoots – which means we’ll film from 5PM to 5AM the each day)

Welcome to lovebites – or at least the blog associated with it. Hopefully you’ll have seen the show last year on TV or online, our award winning micro-series following one twenty-five year old girl’s quarter life crisis. We’re back this year, again produced by 10 time Emmy nominee Paul Reiser, Peter Isackson and Leslie Grief. We’re back this year in a way that is a little different, not least of which is this blog.

Here, we are going to be following the production of the series, taking a look at the writing, the casting and preparation, the shooting and the post-production work. You’ll get bits from the writers, the people behind the scenes, the sponsors, the actors (if I can convince them, that is). Come take a look behind the scenes as we slide back the curtain on what it takes to make TV like lovebites.
