We chose salt as a theme that tied them all together.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth-year acting student <strong>Natasha Advani Thangkhiew<\/strong> drew on personal experiences with eating disorder and anxiety that inspired a story written by classmate <strong>JJ Mokrzewski<\/strong>.

Everyone had a desire to see the script improved.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Greyson, \u201cHaving the writers in the same room as the actors from the beginning meant they could tailor the roles to the actors, which transformed the stories.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cinematography crew shot the location footage in advance, and it was added during post-production. A still from the footage was projected onto a video screen before the actors began working so they could imagine the location in their minds and adjust their movements accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was my first time acting in front of a green screen, and it forced me to activate my imagination,\u201d said Advani Thangkhiew. \u201cI\u2019m glad I had the opportunity to do it in class where the stakes aren\u2019t as high.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working at YUMMS in the Cinespace facility was also a revelation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven having access to that kind of space, equipment and property houses is amazing,\u201d Advani Thangkhiew said. \u201cThe studio is such a valuable resource and being able to shoot scenes in one of the best studios in the city was incredible.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veninger noted that AMPD is grateful to have such outstanding studio space, originally a gift from the Mirkopoulos family, the owners of Cinespace, and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yorku.ca\/2022\/04\/19\/3-12-million-in-renewed-support-for-york-university-motion-media-studio-at-cinespace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recently renewed by TPG<\/a> Real Estate Partners. It has two sound stages, equipped with teaching resources, a standing set, a green screen stage and professional equipment. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStudents are working in a space with real productions such as 'Law &amp; Order' swirling around them,\u201d she said, \u201cand they get inspired knowing that shows like 'The Umbrella Academy' and 'The Handmaid\u2019s Tale' were shot just down the hall.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shooting the Set received generous contributions from industry collaborators. In addition to the gift from Cinespace Film Studios, in-kind sponsorships were received from Wiseacre Rentals and MBS Equipment Co., as well as an iHUB innovation grant from <a href=\"https:\/\/cewilcanada.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CEWIL Canada<\/a> that allowed them to provide students with a stipend.
