We’re seeing a variety of entertainers and performers get creative with filming and streaming like Conan O’Brian shooting on an iPhone from home. In a more complex production, the cast of Parks and Recreation has come together (from home) for a reunion episode for COVID-19 aid that will air Thursday, April 30th and it was all shot on an iPhone rig.
Variety talked with Parks and Recreation co-creator Mike Schur about how it all came together. He noted the process was very challenging but they made it happen with a “little” iPhone rig including a tripod and light and he and the team directed the episode over Zoom calls, making it all happen in the span of just four days!
Schur shared some thoughts on the reason for reuniting the cast:
The special episode for COVID-19 relief will air Thursday, April 30th on NBC at 8:30 pm ET.
