The 1st sitcom pilot Vanessa produced...
£2,000 budget
6 days of filming
21 cast & crew
12 fully catered meals
12 hours of sleep
A few good men & women made up the fab team . . .
including a top BBC sound engineer / mixer, a producer-in-training, an emerging director, a seasoned comedy actor, a duo of amazing make-up artists, and a wonderful couple who took on all the catering.
Several years ago...
In order to offer the BBC something more than just a script and series outline, Vanessa produced a 30-minute pilot of her original TV sitcom.
Having persuaded a top London post-production house to edit the show, she handed over the original tape…
Unfortunately, the original was lost.
So what you see above is a low-quality video, as a result of having to use the only backup (from the camera).
Lesson learnt — one of many. Always have a high-quality back-up. And a back-up of that back-up.
