Greetings, one and all! This week, with brainpower
returning, I had to come to grips once again with the script, and its second
draft. At this point, you look for any inconsistencies, and ask the most
important question: Is this even any good? The answer is usually “Well, pieces,
anyway.” At which point you must strengthen what works, and excise or rewrite
what doesn’t. Since I’m not a fan of my own finale, this is a particularly
entertaining and challenging exercise. The characters being sensible makes it
an anticlimax, the characters being emotional would lead to a whole movie worth
of “getting back to the main plot” because they just got thrown into maximum
security prison. So, in this case, the rewrite begins to feel like very delicate
surgery.
On top of that, the stunt team met this week, and we continued the ancient
tradition of it only raining on the day of stunt meet. So we met that ancient
tradition with one of our own: Storming.
This one was shaken up with the team members rotating through as the opposition, with each pairing getting three chances to throw something unexpected at their teammates. It was very fun, and randomizing the time they had to prepare lent a certain urgency to the whole thing. Much was learned, and a good time had by all.
Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
