Production
The performance was recorded over a number of days in the house of one of the cast. Not all cast members were available on the day their scene was recorded and so they were recorded separately and their part edited in. We used a ‘Yeti’ studio microphone into a laptop, but this was then recorded remotely via Zoom. The remote recording did lead to a few parts where sound levels were dropped despite re-recording scenes, but overall we feel the quality we achieved was very good.
