Patterns and Prospects

Greetings, one and all! This week has been absolutely buzzing with activity. The swordplay class for the school has been confirmed, and we are now working out a venue. Materials have arrived, and we've transferred the patterns onto them, in anticipation of the arrival of the proper tools to make the needed cuts.
We also tried out more people for the series, and have others lined up for yet another wave.

Sunday, the stunt team choreographed two more of the smaller action scenes, leaving only the two biggest, and most complex, to go.

 

 

On top of that, still more gig opportunities have appeared, which has quickly changed the name of the game from "hunt" to "prioritize." Ah... to think life used to be quiet...

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

Doors

Greetings, one and all! This week has been chaotic, with doors opening and slamming shut in a pretty steady rhythm. Thursday, a couple opportunities opened up, among them, a request to run a swordplay session for a class of 5th graders, and a potential steady gig, that shall remain nameless for now. This directly after other avenues for support shut down. The last week has been a string of communiques, regarding both opportunities. Also, first generation stuntie Joe sent some materials for armor-making our way. Thanks, Joe!

Sunday was very wet, so we had to put project choreography on hold, and engaged in another exercise within the confines of the Solensgate set.

 

The design for certain stunt blades have been laid out, and now we await the tools and expertise to finish the job.
On top of that, we have a lead on some more actors, so we're pursuing that, as well. After a rough time of it, an uncertain start, I'm having a good feeling about this again.

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

Expanding the Circle

Greetings, one and all! This week has gotten off to a solid start. The stunt team met to choreograph the first of the fight scenes in the series, and turned out a solid product in an hour and a half. Not easy when you have seven participants.

Good job to them all.

After that, we reached out to the drama teacher at a local school, who we'd been in contact with before, and she agreed to pass on our information to the kids. We also got in contact with another church, who expressed interest in our goals, and have a few contacts in mind for us. We have also reached a few more individual actors, who are interested in trying out. Last, but not least, we were finally able to acquire some of the needed raw materials to start making the weapons for our characters. A solid start, for the second week in April.

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

Readings Round One

Greetings, one and all! This week was a flurry of activity, what with the holiday weekend, but two points of business stood out.
First, there was the reading last week. We tried out a few people for a couple roles, one lead, one minor, and they all did well, but the process is still early, so exact details are still forthcoming.

Special thanks to Think Brain Candy for hosting.

Second, business taxes. While things have been simplified for the average tax filer, I have to learn the proper way to file ten or so densely packed pages of financial data, each with its own unique goals and jargon. I'm currently on day three. What fun.

The stunt team should be returning this weekend, and, if the weather cooperates, we should be able to start choreographing for the series in earnest. 

Anyway, that's about all for this week. Until next time!
