Countdown

 Hey everyone! Yes, the blog is late thanks to a couple of interesting weeks, capped off by a very good but tiring training session yesterday. Our young leads are making good progress. Elijah is only on his second training day, but has proved a very quick study and is rapidly closing the distance in his understanding. Zoe is proving to be someone who always ups the game and never gives up, often requiring her instructor to escalate the conflict as well. All in all, this leads to very educational sessions. Annie is always game to try new things, the more violent the better, and is also a fairly quick study. Paris has two things going for her. One, she is definitely warming to the physical aspects of her role, willing to keep pushing until she gets it right. Secondly, she has developed a very elven attitude for her character of Gwynmareth, and inhabits it very well. Viewing them together, and watching their readings and acting workshops, I'm glad to see that we've found the right people for these parts. They embrace their roles wholeheartedly and, most importantly, work very well together. For being such radically different people they fit together extremely well. Which, in my humble opinion, is the basis of a great team.

The madness of the last couple weeks has come in many different flavors, with two of them linked directly to the series. First, the Brightsword Productions website is close to launch! That's been quite the job, but very educational and fulfilling in the long run. Secondly, We've been brainstorming which audiences would most like to see this series made and how we would get the word out to them. This has led to my current job of crafting letters to webmasters and bloggers, presenting the project and hopefully piquing their interest enough to get them to present the project to their audiences. Unless something really takes off, that will be my full-time job for the next two months. If it does take off, my job will then be to manage the influx of questions. Either way, long days on the keyboard.

Thanks for reading. Until next time!
