Netflix's KALEIDESCOPE Behind the Making
85How many ways have you watched the show Kaleidoscope!? The inventive series is actually loosely based on a true story. Having a hurricane be a major part of a show made for some very damp days on set - there were actually giant structures FULL of water on the Netflix soundstage. Many of the actors had to film while they were in waist-high water, and anyone who has been on a set knows that filming days are VERY long. Filming this was complicated, which meant a ton of extensive prep and planning had to be done so they could safely and efficiently execute what needed to happen! One of the actors, Giancarlo Esposito, actually performed a ton of his own stunts - and he made it happen underwater because of speakers that were used to help communicate with him!
The series can be watched in any order and still make sense, but just because it worked for us doesn’t mean it made sense for the actors, who would sometimes get totally lost in the story, unsure of where exactly they were in it while shooting! Considering jsut how intense and complex the script process was, it’s no surprise there were a whopping ten different people in the writing room! The jobs of production designers and creative team members were way more involved with this series, but many of them actually really embraced it and were excited to figure out how they could best help tell the story - and they absolutely didn’t disappoint.
