Of Song and Blades

Greetings, one and all! Well, that was a mentally taxing week. As is to be expected, we started off with some more writing. But, much like the first script, this covered a bit of a fulcrum point, where subtle shifts could radically change the course of the narrative, and so multiple versions of this section have been written, with more still in process.

Next up, we ran some experiments with the prop materials we’d acquired, and also turned our minds back toward drumming up support for our work. But then came a new wave of research for the music of The Nine Isles project, which took up a fair amount of bandwidth for a non-musician.

Lastly, the stunt team met again, and this time engaged in an exercise that focuses on blade work, over their more common urge to close to grappling range…





The fights started with a lot of energy, but unfortunately this wore out our already very tired stunt people, which meant that they pretty much skidded across the proverbial finish line. Still, kudos to the team for their determination and creativity. Thanks to them, the fights looked great. 
 

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