It’s late March and “A Black Lady Sketch Show” creator and star Robin Thede is working with the show’s editors to put the finishing touches on Season 4 of the half-hour HBO comedy…
Emmy-winning editor Stephanie Filo sits next to me at video village, silently jotting down time codes for lines that made her chuckle. As often as they can, one of the show’s editors is on set watching the sketch play out so they have a greater sense of what felt funny in the moment when they get back to the edit bays. It expedites the post-production process, given that the team turns around an edited sketch every two to three days.
Michele Yu, who makes up the other half of the Emmy-nominated production design team, adds that part of what makes “A Black Lady Sketch Show” so unique is Thede’s “visionary” approach to world-building on screen. As showrunner, writer and executive producer, Thede is involved in all phases of the production, giving the series a singular vision.
Staying geeky, Thede explains how a team of four hairstylists, led by department head Shavonne Brown, created more than 200 hand-sewn wigs and hair-pieces this season, including a rainbow-colored design modeled after Cardi B, where each waist-length layer of hair was dyed individually. “Only Beyoncé gets this kind of wig work!” she says.The same care went into costumes, the majority of which were built or created by a 11-person department of costumers, shoppers and a seamstress.
