#episode505 is actually a kidnapping episode. Lots of twists and turns. It's called "Cherry Picked"
By the time the first episode airs, we will have shot the first seven episodes of the season.
Reply to 'Do you think of places you can film at first or hope to find places that work after the script is finished?' - That depends. Typically you just write the script that's in your head and hope to find locations later.
Each episode takes 8 days to shoot.
Reply to 'do you decide on what happens in 1 ep together and one person writes it or does one write+later all talk?' - We are very collaborative. But the majority of the ideas usually come from the writer of that episode.
Reply to 'How far in advance do the actors see the script?' - They usually get the script a week or so before it begins shooting.
Reply to 'who normally requests revisions? Cast? Director? producer? Writer?' - All of the above. The script often keeps changing and getting better up until the moment you shoot it.
We usually use 2 cameras in every scene. But big action scenes sometimes require more cameras.
Inspiration comes from everywhere. Other TV shows, movies, real life cases. We're always looking around for a new idea.
Working hard on more revisions to the script... Looking forward to casting the episode tomorrow.
Reply to 'how does the casting process work? Does it last just a day or more? - We usually have 2-3 sessions, which last 3 hours each. Depends on how many parts there are for the episode.
Writers are hard at work here. Got different people writing episodes 5 through 11, at varying stages of development.
Reply to 'do you ever change the order of the episodes?' - That has happened a few times, yes. |

I'm loving how much outdoor shooting there seems to be this season. Like the good old days, indeed.  |

Reply to '#episode505 When will you start shooting this episode?' - We start shooting next Thursday.
Big tech scout today. Visited sites in Glendale, Pasadena, and all around the WB lot.
Here's a pic of house you may see in an upcoming episode. http://www.cbs.com/shows....9 |

What's good Menatlistas/Mentalistos! It's Erika Green Swafford on the twittah ones and twos. Holla back. I'm here all week!
Working on my outline for episode 509. This is what I'm listening to...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0tsKCB4lc … What's in your ear right now?
Feel free to fire away with questions as I will be the facilitator on Twitter this week.
We are working overtime here getting ready for the new season.
Great stuff is coming down the pike in Mentalist land.
The title of 506 is " Red Dawn" written by Tom Szentgyorgyi. Instant classic is all I can say about it. Will quickly enter the Mentalist pantheon of great episodes. You will definitely be talking about it. There will be a lot of good Jane/Lisbon scenes. No spoilers tho. Not trying to get pelted in the writing office with tomatoes! |
