Storyboards from @stuartfails episode 7 “Spoiler: Dexys Midnight Runners Get A Royalty Payment” part three! This section was mind bending for director @kylenewacheck and director of photography Grant Smith aka @cinesmith . The group of Stuart, Denise, Bert and Kripke ( @kevsussman @laurenlapkus @brianposehn @johnrossbowie ) were first chasing only ONE other version of themselves through different universes but we now are introduced to THIRD version of themselves in combat uniforms. Kyle and Grant created photoboards of this section using three groups action figures separated into “Our Group” “Alt Group” and “Combat Group” with the faces of the actors taped to the doll’s faces. Then, Kyle and Grant planned out each shot as if these action figures were the cast. Wides, mediums, close ups, overs etc. I took video of a small part of this shot planning session to take my own notes as I would be following the photoboard compositions to create my storyboards. The final photoboards were put together with script dialogue by Kyle’s amazing assistant, @josephinesorena . All of this work came in handy as the cast had to play three versions of themselves in different wardrobe and be coordinated with their stand-ins. Then the VFX team @jfo_404 Jason Forster and @cptmaxwell Tom Mahoney did their magic. WHEW!! #stuartfailstosavetheuniverse #multiverse #storyboard by @cinesmith

SFTSU ep. 107. It turns out that 3 groups of the same actors meeting in one scene is very complicated to shoot! To really sell it and add some gravity to the scene, we used a motion control system to accurately repeat our shots so that we could have our 4 actors playing different versions of themselves in one shot with movement. Other shots were more simple using the shoulder of a stand-in to feature a single character or 1 set of the characters. For planning the shots and logistics of the shoot, we used comic figurines supplied by the art dept. The @cadrageapp (viewfinder app) was crucial for lining up these shots of the toys and figuring out what would work for us, and to minimize all of the wardrobe changes the actors would have to endure. The scene was shot over 3 days using 3 cameras on a green screen set, with the actors having to change wardrobe about 5 times during the most tedious day. by @cinesmith

Some photos from Stuart Fails Episode 4. A treat to get to create such a strange and unusual tone in a comedy. Everyone involved brought their absolute best to this one - start to finish! Expertly directed by @kylenewacheck ! Amazing sets by @wiltbrosracing , impeccable editing by @xdaviddean and beautiful final color by @a_g_t_color. #stuartfailstosavetheuniverse by @cinesmith

Congratulations to the entire @stuartfails team on their renewal for season two! 🪐

In STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE, "Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert, and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from 'The Big Bang Theory.' As the title implies, things don’t go well."
