Greetings, one and
all! This week has been a funny sort of backwards pre-production. Whereas
ordinarily you start with a script, and then find what you need to make it, we
are seeing what we have, and then seeing what kind of story we can make from it.
This starts with the people we have, and their respective availability, but
also includes their relative skill levels, available props and costumes, as
well as any potential locations. But this also includes research to see if
there’s anything else that would significantly up the production value for a
little extra effort. We’re then using this information to suggest characters
and scenes that can be fleshed out into a full script. Well, a short script,
anyway.
With the new framework in mind, the team met again Sunday and reviewed the
sword and shield, before expanding into strike/counterstrike drills. After
that, we introduced them to the basics of spear use.
All this was capped off with a single round of a classic exercise. Good progress was made by all, and we creep ever nearer to having a fully trained stunt team.
Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
