Digital Pens and Wooden Daggers

Greetings, one and all! Once upon a time only having the stunt meet as the central element of the blog was a sign of a slow period. Not in the context of what pictures we use, because my main job of clicking a mouse all day is decidedly unphotogenic, but in the subject of discussion. Right now it’s a sign that I am doing the other half of the job, which takes somewhat less than half the time: Writing. As our last project was technically written many years ago, and then just took years to refine and get a budget for, this week marked the passing of an important milestone. Specifically, the longest page count of an original script in around seven years. It’s still a good way short of feature length, but this is also shaping up to be a much longer story. It will be interesting to see where this takes us.

On to the slightly more photogenic side of the job, due to this weekend's torrential rain, a small stunt team took on a bit of a “hunters become the hunted” scenario using daggers.

In time past daggers have been somewhat underutilized in our choreography exercises, so lately we've been trying to amend that. The choreo was intricate, the moves were sweeping and dramatic, all in all, a good time had by all.

Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
