For example, over the entire life of the series, the director with the team and actors traveled to more than five thousand filming locations. Yes, of course, in each episode there is an office of the FES, erected in a special pavilion. However, according to the plot, the main characters of the “Trace” constantly have to work “in the field.” Wherever the script did not bring Olga Koposova, Tashlykov and performers of other main roles. They worked and so on.
It can be assumed that the creators of “Trace” are not afraid to spend time on the road and funds for filming outside their pavilions to create a larger entourage. In general, the project team should be given their due, they always treat all kinds of details in the frame during work with great trepidation. So, for example, all the roles of the dead in the series have always been played by live actors. To do this, they sometimes had to make up for several hours. And this is not to mention the fact that the shooting of one scene might drag on for a long time, and then the people playing the corpses had to endure for hours not the most convenient conditions.
It is impossible not to mention another curious fact regarding the series “Trace”. There are still fans who sincerely believe as if FES really exists. However, this is only a delusion, albeit a very interesting one. Indeed, how much easier life was if there was a Federal Expert Service. Yes, and with such employees as Rogozina and her team.
It is also interesting that in the eyes of the audience, many actors from the “Trace” seem to have become one with their characters. In other words, many are sure that the same Evgeny Kulakov, who played the role of a programmer in the department and a brilliant hacker, is the same virtuoso in real life. However, it is not. In fact, Eugene only uses a computer at a basic level.
Maisky is another matter. In The Trail, he more than once gave the impression of a fan of rock culture. So, outside the set, the actor Pavel Shuvaev, who plays his role, really loves this musical genre and even performs with his rock band.
And to top it off, one more interesting fact: The Trace has a spin-off. The project was named “Aquatoria”. As you might guess, the main characters of the story were the Maritime Department of the Federal Expert Service. However, Aquatoria might not compete with Sledom. A total of 40 episodes were filmed.
