Disciples celebrate the HALFWAY point of The Chosen

blue eyes [Music] today is a very special day because it marks the Midway point in three different ways we are halfway through the week halfway through the season and halfway through the entire Chosen show today and is it coincidence or is it Providence that at the Midway point of everything we're filming a bunch of holiday celebration scenes [Applause] what better way to kick off a week of Celebration than with disciples walking all day the part that I'm still looking for is the and I'm gonna have to start so that it feels that that's what helps it feel like it's connected to the previous thought yeah you gotta stick the camera gotta stick everybody with the microphones all those people on the path then you got to film the group in different phases in order to get their full conversation and all their close-ups it's a lot no and this is a seven page scene that is a lot that translates to seven minutes on screen and shooting a scene that long with disciples walking back and forth on the road yeah it's gonna take a while here's a question for the YouTube comments yes how many steps do you think will be on my stepometer at the end of this day oh my gosh I'm gonna guess twenty thousand twenty thousand that's what I'm gonna guess okay um I'm gonna guess much better 17 000 17th okay what do you think in the comments what do you think right now it feels like many other study cam days all of the actors follow their lead they're leading the dance and I'm just making it look good on camera when it's a three shot there's a larger distance between us okay um because I need to be wider to hold all of you guys the day is done yes it is remind me my guess Twenty Thousand Steps twenty thousand Seventeen and it's been a long day what's your guess uh 63 000. 63 000. wow is it no way what is it it's seventeen thousand what do I win my respect yes I've been working towards that for the last two seasons well you've got it now I hope you and the comments were pretty close yes now we go sleep after all that walking it was really cool to see art imitate life they were filming all these great scenes of the disciples celebrating the holidays and in real life the cast and crew were celebrating halfway through filming season four and halfway through filming the entire show how does it feel to be at this point it's really bizarre to think it's not that long ago that I did the short film on the farm in Illinois but then on the other hand it didn't happen so quickly and I go oh my gosh three and a half Seasons somewhere around 240 days or something over the course of several years with hundreds of cast and crew I'm gonna do this all again I look forward to being done and being able to say we did seven seasons and we accomplished what we set out to do and we served god well and with integrity and authenticity surrender and humility and so that's I look forward to hopefully being able to say that the impact will last for Generations hit that like button perfect share perfect with your friends and keep on watching by hitting subscribe by hitting subscribe it's kind of an intense season but today we're filming some light fun celebration type things what's that like for you guys is it a nice break an enormous relief like we literally get to play in this scene it is nice and fun to break up the the emotional turmoil of the season and uh and laugh once in a while that's fantastic we kind of get to see us in a pretty happy place not a lot of drama going on it's just celebrating Hanukkah together so even though we're shooting during broad daylight they're turning day into night controlling light with all of this tarp as we're filming everything going on inside us they're celebrating it looks like night time [Music] yeah it's great so here's a really cool opportunity we actually get to go watch three of our actors prepare as they're gonna do some live music during some of these celebration scenes so we're heading out to check it out these instruments came from Greece and here we are to this family for Generations has been building instruments and they've pulled images from ancient Greek pottery where these are did and they've reconstructed them using materials that would have been available we knew that we needed to Source playable instruments since we're going to try to capture all of the audio and the performances in real time instead of doing it in post like we normally would so which one is which is this the liar or the loot it took a maybe half an hour to kind of get it down and then we just kept running it and running and we will be filming in a few hours so we're just kind of all getting together to get real comfortable before we get in front of the camera the writers gave us a little Direction with Psalms we could pull as text we composed this melody with sort of a loose chord structure because we hadn't received these instruments yet so we didn't know what chord structure might even be possible to play on them and then Dan created an amalgamation of beautiful lines from scripture we've never done anything like this before it's going to be unbelievable I can't wait to see how react to this so walking celebrations with games and music and we've got so much more coming so make sure you hit that subscribe button and the bell next to it to be notified of when our next video drops [Music]
