Greetings, one and all! Well, the illness rages on,
but for all that we still managed to get a few things done. Primarily that has
been logistics work, and further script breakdowns. Specifically, we worked on
the locations for the script, writing out brief descriptions that can later be
extrapolated into designs and materials lists. After that was organizing
elements by shoot blocks as the story takes place in three different “times”
or eras, with little to no interaction between the characters in each block. This
will help us prioritize which props and sets to make.
This whole process led to the realization that an entire scene could be
redundant. If we could rework the plot points into other scenes, this would
reduce the workload by five actors, with their respective costumes, and one
set. So, despite the sick brain, we roughed in a new draft where we moved the
vital information into other scenes. Now we await clearer minds to revise and
refine the work.
Last but not least, we had yet another new trainee this Sunday. We set about
teaching him the basics, while we reviewed them with the other who could make
it, and moved on to basic parrying.
Despite the unfortunate weather, and having to shift locations a couple times, everyone got through their respective training, and our veterans are certainly shaping up to be good instructors in their own right.
Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
