Making Everything Up from Scratch
During the filming of Orphan Black, Tatiana Maslany and Kristian Bruun were tasked with filming a burial scene without any guidance or explanation from the director. It was a challenging situation, but they quickly realized that improvisation was the key to getting through it successfully. The two actors jumped into the scene with full force, using their skills and creativity to improvise the entire scene.
Despite the fact that the scene was completely unscripted, Maslany and Bruun were able to make it believable and captivating. Their acting was so impressive that the directors had no hesitation in keeping the scene in the final cut of the show. This just goes to show the level of skill and talent required to be a successful actor and how improvisation can sometimes save the day.
