Taking Flight

 Greetings, one and all! As slow as last week was, this one has been the exact opposite. The framework for the crystal tower was finally painted, for starters. More significantly, we’ve managed to shoot 90 percent of the ship shots! Dodging between rainy days, we set up the dolly, and various support mechanisms for the ships.

This was followed by far too many hours of us doing take after take, trying to make the jury-rigged assembly work for the shots we needed. As the less agreeable weather returned, we dodged back inside, and started refining the effects shots, slowly turning them into the final product.

Sunday, the team met, and ran through yet more sword plays, until they were tired enough to start getting sloppy with their technique.

All in all, a very productive week, despite the sunburns.

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