Between the Shoots

Greetings, one and all! This week took a different tack from the previous one, as we had no shoots, but a lot of random things to do. Starting the week, we opened with a supply run for materials to be used in props, models, and sets for the upcoming sci-fi project. Sadly only about a third of what we were looking for was available at the time, but we still made a good start.
Next up, music composition for Block 8, which is proceeding slowly, but steadily.

On top of that, there was some more prop work as we finalized the paint jobs on several props, including fixing one that went awry, and drybrushing a couple of the weapons with metallic paints to give them some extra pop. Screen material was finally found for two out of the three datapads, so that’s now trimmed down to size, and we’re on the hunt for the rest.

Sunday the team met again, this time on the hottest weekend of the year, to practice the big fight with their real stunt weapons…

Things progressed slowly at first, with the stunties acclimating to different weapon weights, and the thought of swinging a somewhat harder object, but despite the heat and the unfamiliar equipment, they progressed well, and should be ready by the time the shoot day arrives.

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