Video Backstage Tour

Posted by Adam Immerwahr on March 28th, 2008

We’ve finally done it! McCarter’s first home-brewed video podcast! A video backstage tour of the Argonautika set. I stayed up way too late last night working on it (instead of cleaning my apartment), but I’m really happy with what came out! Many thanks to Jesse J. Perez, who narrated the backstage tour, and Elizabeth Edwards, the videographer.

Enjoy the video, and post your comments below!

    That was so fun to see! He does a terrific job describing everything - I love his inflection. I wish i coul go see the show. The video is well-shot and edited. The voiceover at the end sounds exactly like me - which is creepy. Ha!

    Wonderful addition to the blog! Great editing, great narration. This is something you should do more often. One note of criticism: for those of us who haven’t seen the show, it would be great to have started with an establishing shot of the entire stage…just to give some broader perspective on what we’re looking at in detail.
    I look forward to your next podcast…and maybe a video tour of your workshops at some point Thanks!!

    June–That’s a great suggestion! I’ll keep that in mind for next time. And keep your eyes out for a video blog of our costume, scene and prop shops. It’ll be coming eventually.
