Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Filmed at The Waterside Theatre, Aylesbury
for Mischief Screen Ltd

With Mischief, there are no second takes. The chaos is the point - and the chaos is precisely timed. Miss it and it's gone.

A one-day shoot means everything has to be right before the curtain goes up. OB truck in early, multi-camera rig set and ready to turn over for a matinee. No run of shows to fall back on. No second bite. Every operator prepped, every shot called, every glorious mishap captured from the first performance.

Dickens' festive classic, gleefully dismantled by the Cornley Drama Society. Our job was to make sure none of it escaped.
