Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

The family that slays together stays together? The Adams Family – John, Toby and daughter Zelda – are behind Arrow’s latest hit The Deeper You Dig, and we had the chance to chat with them:

How does it work directing a scene? Does it matter if you’re in the scene, you could still be directing it?

Toby: Yes. For The Deeper You Dig if Zelda was in school during the day and we wanted to use the saws to chop [her character] Echo’s body up. I would be shooting it while John is acting it but John would be setting up the cameras and really making sure that it looks great. Then, I might direct something and he might direct himself too, and sometimes if I wasn’t around John would shoot and direct and act in the same scene.

It’s usually a matter of who’s in the scene, who can run the camera, and then we all have a say in how we want to direct it.
