3. As a result of the small crew, the cast was often able to improvise on set. The crew was always on the lookout for production opportunities that would enhance the show. This also allowed for a spirit of 'running and gunning' certain shots. This would not be possible with a larger crew.
4. In order to take full advantage of the numerous action scenes in Shadow, several of the actors committed to performing many of their own stunts.
1. Motion Story utilised a smaller and more versatile team over a longer period to produce the show. This played a major role in enabling them to elevate the quality of the show.
2. Because of the size of the crew, everyone was prepared to multitask. Once the actors and the rest of the crew understood that there were no egos on set and that everyone was prepared to roll up their sleeves and do whatever was needed to get the best out of a scene, they were equally happy to pitch in wherever they could. This sense of 'community' fostered a genuine team atmosphere on set.
8. Within the ambit of the overall genre, each episode of Shadow leans slightly towards a different sub-genre. One episode might feel like a traditional action-drama, while another a thriller. Certain episodes creep towards horror, while another
places emphasize humour.
