About This Guidebook On the following pages, you will find a version of the shooting script that was used to create Wrath of the Gods. To make the characters of Greek mythology come alive, co-designer Jeff Cretcher videotaped costumed actors on an empty stage and then digitally composited in backgrounds from photographs taken in Greece.
