Here we have another great show that has also been unfortunately delayed. But not any random episode. “The Walking Dead” season 10 finale could not be shot. Now it really hurts !! A season finale on hold is not a good thing for a popular series. All fans will have to wait for a long time. The worst part is no one really knows exactly how long?
The Walking Dead is about survival in a world that has suffered from a zombie apocalypse. The few surviving humans have formed groups and communities to fights off the zombies and also the other human settlements. The show is produced by AMC Studios. The show is based on a book of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.
The show is currently in its tenth season and the post-production work of the finale season was in works when the complete entertainment industry was brought to a standstill by coronavirus pandemic.
Inputs from an Executive Producer
According to the Executive Producer of ” The Walking Dead” Greg Nicotero, “I mean, the trick with post-production that a lot of people don’t realize is there are so many little refinements and last-minute embellishment”.
He also added “You have to do post-production sound, and you have to do music, and then you have to go in and do color timing to make sure that every shot in a scene is color timed the same way so that they look all look like it’s coming from the same scene…There are quality checks that you have to do, to make sure there’s not like a Starbucks cup in the shot, or whatever. There’s a lot of those little fine-tuning elements that all happen within two to three weeks of delivering the episode to the network. So we were right on the cusp of just about finishing the episode when everybody had to stop work. And it’s not like you can do a lot of that stuff remotely. I looked at all the visual effects stuff that was coming in when we were shooting because there was a lot of VFX for the finale, and everything looked magnificent. It’s just a matter of waiting until we can basically mix all the ingredients. I don’t know when that’s going to be. But I think once people get a chance to go back to work, it’s probably a week and a half or two weeks of fine-tuning.”
He also says that it is good for writers that they are getting so much time to advance the scripts. He believes that once the production starts they will not face further hiccups.
Well that means once the production starts new seasons can be produced faster.
