Sometimes You Beat the Dragon…


Hello again! So, good news and slogging news. Saturday we had our first reading for Season 2, which went well, despite our significant gift of gab. The 122 pages only took 5 hours to get through. (Though, in all fairness, the first three pages took an hour.) 


 
 By request, the cast got to see the completed Episode 1 (once they finished the first two-thirds of the script.) Even with enormous levels of self-criticism, the response was generally positive, even from our most skeptical member.
Sunday saw another stunt meeting, this time focused on developing the shortsword drills required for a particular location in Season 2.




 Now, the slogging bit. We have run into a bit of a hiccup with the dragon animation for episodes 4 and 5. Mostly the challenge revolves around properly integrating it into the environment, as the model still looks far too crisp and clean for the world it’s in. All of this is a steep learning curve, but it will get done, even if we have brick shaped impressions on our foreheads by the time it’s all said and done.
Well, that’s about all for now. Until next time!
