As the world continues to see the affects of COVID-19, we find ourselves in a world where filming for many shows and films has been halted. However, this hasn’t stopped some production teams.
According to reports, producers of Keeping Up With the Kardashians decided that instead of putting production on hold, the family can film the entire Season 18 finale episode with their phones. According to Kim Kardashian West, ‘everyone in the family will document their daily household activities during this current government-mandated quarantine.’
“We have tripods set up, and our iPhones, and the whole last episode will be what we do in quarantine”
Rumour has it, initially crew members entered the homes in full hazmat suits to set up lighting and iPhone friendly tripods. The sisters film up to 16 hours of footage and have new iPhones delivered weekly.
It’s not just KUWTK that has used the pandemic to try a different approach to filming. ITV produced a 4 part series of 15 minute films based around life in lockdown.
