Multi-Camera Evaluation

During our first multi-camera production we decided to do a paranormal multi-camera. We came to the idea by brainstorming ideas. We were talking about implementing ways to scare the audience while keeping in theme with the main show. We decided to go with the whole paranormal idea. We built up on the idea more and the initial idea of scaring the audience was pushed out the way to prioritize making an actual production.
