CHR!S REEL MANHUNT
Ah, yes, the sequence of moving President Lincoln’s coffin. That emotional scene made it hard to convey the energy of the day in just one image. Watching this scene from the first episode reminded me of all the hard work the entire cast and crew put into making this series happen. The artificial rain that was created on the backlot made for a tough shoot, but we all endured through it. The camera crew’s equipment was obviously put to the test, as was the patience of the actors and the extras. We had to go through a “few” takes of that scene, and I remember using up several of my protective camera sleeves. When the day finally wrapped, we were all happy to head home much drier than we originally started and unaware of a similar day to come, but that time with snow.
