The Production GuideScript To Screen: The Last Sunset
by Martin Willey
The Production GuideProduction Manager Ron Fry constructed the 16 day shooting schedule for Last Sunset. This episode called for many on-set SFX and for lighting changes (day scenes are marked with a D, night scenes with a N).
Each day they would aim to film approximately 5 pages from the script. Note that certain scenes were "to be scheduled later".
