![]() ![]() “They cooked some Greek food to use in this shot,” Demetriou tells us. ![]() Even the flavors were geographically specific. Nadja seeks help translating the occult writing in a Staten Island neighborhood called “Little Antipaxos,” and bonds with a new family from the Old Country. Luckily, at Colin’s suggestion, the crew gets to move on to a new and intricately detailed location, populated by not-your-average-everyday people. The portrait has writing on it, but Nadja is a little rusty in her native language. The Guide traces it to a portrait of Yaya Nakiya, a very-bad-luck witch from Antipaxos’ ancient past. The Guide (Kristen Schaal) dismisses the superstitious conclusion as laughable, and diagnoses Nadja with a generations-old supernatural hex, which are real things: targeted harassment brought on by your own past actions. The installment is a master work in crowd control and human settings run amok.Ĭoncurrently, during “A Night Out with the Guys,” Nadja experiences a string of bad luck, and suspects she is the recipient of some kind of curse. This is far more apparent in the second episode of the evening, “A Night Out with the Guys,” written by Paul Simms, and directed by Kyle Newacheck. “Baron’s Night Out” unleashed Baron Afanas (Doug Jones) onto the vast smorgasbord which is Staten Island by night. You want to see these characters in populated, recognizable locations, in the way that we did with ‘Baron’s Night Out’ in the first season.” “It was a basketball stadium, and they filled it with extras in a way that we hadn’t seen for two years,” Novak tells us. The scene is one of the most populated sequences on the show, even if it is only used for a small insert gag. Early in the episode, Nandor hypnotizes an entire sports arena to forget a simple clumsy misstep in the stands. The more uncomfortable any character is in a setting, the funnier they turn out to be. “They had the Teddy Bear factory set up, but then there were other bits that were fun to use.” While the location shoots are mapped out by the script, some items scream to be played with. “There is definitely some on-the-fly scouting to find things like, ‘Oh, that’d be a fun bit,’ so it’s a mixture,” Demetriou says. ![]() As the vampires discover the magic of the mall, the crew is on the lookout for unexplored possibilities. The production team is also open to impromptu shots using unexpected natural settings. Most of the time, they’re gonna be the better option.” But we always have an amazing script to fall back on. “If you have an idea, they’re open to that. “There’s always room to try stuff out, if you want to,” Demetriou says. Kayvan always comes up with something, whether it makes it or not.”Įxpanding on this, Natasia notes specific gags may make it into scenes if circumstances evoke spontaneous convulsion. Sometimes we don’t come up with anything. Demetriou agrees, adding “Like the whole show, there’s always a fully finished script, but the writers and the directors give us the space to try stuff if we’ve come up with something. “The carousel riding was in the script,” Novak tells us, as are most of the set dialogue sequences. ![]() ABC Family has three new series on tap for this summer: drama Bunheads, comedy Baby Daddy and docuseries Beverly Hills Nannies.As the actors enter the location shot, most of the action has already been specifically worked out. “We are, very sadly, three weeks away from the series finale of MIOBI,” she wrote Monday. ABC Family this week began promoting the May 14 closer as the series finale, with Make It Or Break It creator Holly Sorenson chiming in on Twitter. The current abbreviated third season chronicles the final leg of the race to the Olympics, with the May 14 finale revealing who of the three girls will make the U.S. The timing does make sense as the premise of the series was following several elite female teen gymnasts dreaming of competing at the upcoming summer 2012 Olympics in London. But last September, the network renewed the series for eight episodes “in time to ignite Olympic fever,” as ABC Family president Michael Riley put it. The writing has pretty much been on the wall for the gymnastics drama, which first faced cancellation last summer following its second 20-episode season, which was down from the 20-epsiode Season 1.
