Show detail Hide detail

A day in the life of a television show. The CPAC crew visit the set of THE SENTINEL, a police drama shot in Vancouver produced by an American production company. The host interviews a number of production people, tours the set, eavesdrops on scenes as they are shot - along with discussions of the scenes between the actors and the director - and receives explanations of the process of shooting a television program.~Interviews include: Danny Bilson, creator of THE SENTINEL and the director, who discusses life in Vancouver as opposed to his hometown of Los Angeles (a theme returned to by the host of the program in subsequent interviews). Bilson explains the pros and cons of shooting in Vancouver, his feelings about the city, advice on how to get started in the business, the importance of the writer to the creative process and his view of the unions with which he must work. Bilson mentions another series, VIPER, which he also brought up to Vancouver from the U.S.~Producer Bob Hargrove discusses set design, explains the process of shooting a scene while one is being shot and acts as a guide for a portion of this program.~The host interviews director of photography Tony Westman along with actors Richard Burgi and Mr. Young. Set designer and co-producer David Wilson is also interviewed and also acts as a guide particularly on the second tape. Mike Walls, special effects supervisor, discusses his role.~Marc Des Roches, manager production location services for the BC Film Commission explains the Commission's role. David Wilson continues with a tour of the set introducing costume designers Christie Mooney and [Laurie]. Ms. Mooney explains her work. A second costume designer (also named Laurie) discusses the difficulties and challenges of her work.~Other sections include the location department, Greg Forrest the location manager is interviewed; the art department, Bob Vetini designer of THE SENTINEL is featured; and casting with Michael Lacoe.~Actors Anne Galvin, an Australian actor who had been with the production for only one week, and Garrett Maggart are interviewed as a scene is being shot in the background. They are shown in discussions with fellow actors and the director, Bruce Bilson, following the scene discussing dialogue.~Bruce Bilson, father of Danny Bilson who is interviewed earlier, discusses the project, his work and working with his son. <2hr 32mn>
