Difficult Filming Location
What makes 1883 a hit series is the authenticity it brings to the viewers. When it comes to conveying the depths of the story, the geographical location or the setting always plays a pivotal role. While 1883 showcased the Western culture, the story’s exploration of the wild west made it even special.
So, to create the true essence of a world far beyond, the Yellowstone 1883 director, Taylor Sheridan decided to break the four walls of the studio and dragged the 1883 cast to a new world of adventures. Taylor filmed the project in the heart of West America. While the major part of the 1883 series is shot in Texas, several scenes of Montana add extra spice to it.
Many scenes of 1883 were shot in Montana’s park country, only a couple of miles away from the Yellowstone National Park. But what was so challenging for the 1883 cast? Here is everything we know.
What Were The Challenges Faced By 1883 Cast?
Creating a masterpiece like 1883 is never easy. It takes a lot of effort and hard work by both the creators and the cast members to bring a show like 1883. So, it’s pretty obvious that the 1883 cast would have also passed a lot of difficulties shooting in the western lands of America.
To create the true essence of authenticity in the world of 1883, the crew had to suffer harsh weather conditions. From storms to scorching heat, the 1883 cast has dealt with the turmoil of nature. Though prior to the start of the filming work, certain natural hurdles were expected as the filming zone experiences dry summers and windy winters, the crew had no other option. In order to preserve the authenticity of the scenes, the 1883 cast had to traverse these hardships.
While the summers tested the limits of the 1883 cast, the winters offered no relief. With winds blowing at a speed of 60 to 70 miles per hour it was not a piece of cake to film the series. Though the crew was able to counter the wrath of mother nature, compelling the horses to cooperate was pretty difficult.
In an interview, the officials revealed, “The horses know when bad weather is coming, so if you have a shootout, they are not participating. How they should be. It just makes it bad for everybody.”
The fan-favorite actress, Faith Hill also revealed her experience of filming for 1883. She unveiled it was like actually living in 1883. Apart from the unpredictable weather conditions, the lack of resources added the cherry on the cake. Moreover, she said, staying in such hectic costumes no matter its summer or winter was one of the greatest challenges the 1883 cast faced.
It seems nothing went in favor of the crew. One more difficulty that turned out to be a nightmare for the 1883 cast was the terrible bathroom conditions. Often the crew members went days without shower. Tim McGraw revealed in an interview, “We were burning hot or freezing cold. There were not a lot of showers until I was forced every now and then. It was hard work.”
Well, it’s true that the 1883 cast dealt with some unimaginable hardships, but the rewards they got are worth it. 1883 is currently one of the flagship western dramas. It is high in demand and Taylor’s writing and portrayal of the characters have simply manifested the fans. 1883 has already shattered Paramount+’s record of the most-watched series on the platform.
