Wachowski, who has always cherished the process of writing more than filming, she said, eventually came to realize that the improvised shoots were turning into a creative force in themselves. But over time, the key crew and performers didn’t just adapt to the method but came to embrace it. So Wachowski developed a technique for almost physically attaching herself to the back of Steadicam operator Daniele Massaccesi, forming “this weird, four-legged creature with one eye.” Meanwhile a second camera would follow behind to get any cover shots they might have missed.Īctors had to become comfortable doing scenes without the chance to rehearse them and with no specific marks to hit in their blocking, Wachowski said, admitting it freaked out some of them. The budget and schedule would not allow for returning to any of the eight psychic character’s homes around the world, Toll said. Throughout the production, Toll managed to keep his highly flexible crew on their toes, ready for many an unexpected development as they scrambled to get all the material needed for each location in just one visit. Michael Straczynski in 2015, was canceled after the second season aired in May this year, but fans were so disappointed they demanded a final episode to wrap up the stories, which the crew recently wrapped in Naples. Just as often, the team would film in real night clubs or incorporate real street crowds, as when thousands of partiers at the Sao Paulo pride march began chanting their favorite character’s name, calling out “Lito! Lito!” to tell them that’s against the law, Wachowski said.
The punk-like filming ethic extended to quickly shooting orgies on public land in San Francisco before police could arrive at 6 a.m. We knew what we were doing but nobody else did.” When assistants where brought in for locations that ranged from Seoul to Nairobi, Mumbai, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Mexico City and Chicago, said Toll, “They were kind of in shock. Cinematographer John Toll, who coordinated the intensive shoots, said local assistants the crew hired were “really happy to see us arrive – and really happy to see us leave.”
