Second to last meeting

Our second-to-last meeting went well today. 
   The hut is moving forward nicely.  We are currently thatching the roof and weaving cattails through the walls.  (Hopefully we will get some pictures up soon - it looks pretty cool!)
   Costumes spent the day busily sewing and altering clothes.  We have some beautiful dresses for our characters (huge sleeves!!!) and are working on getting our guys epicly attired.

Cutting grass for thatch

   Our make-up artist practiced scars on one of the characters.  He looked nice and beat-up afterwards! 
   We got through a good amount of scenes with our acting today.  Hyping up the emotion and deepening the characters.
   While practice-filming another scene, we worked on getting camera movement and deciding how to film everything.
   Only two more weeks until filming!

July 23rd Meeting

The Epic Summer Movie group met today to work on pre-production for Mo Chara.  This is the fifth meeting this year. 

A portion of the tech crew got to work with storyboards today and filmed one of the scenes while the actors practiced.  This is the first time this year we worked together with actors and tech, which is exciting! 

The costumes are moving forward well.  We have a data-base set up to help us keep track of our many pieces of clothing.  We also are brainstorming ideas and are thinking through everyone's costumes.

Sets also moved forward quite a bit too.  Our set builders worked on weaving the walls of our old Irish hut, and harvested cat-tails and grasses for the structure.  It is looking awesome!

Only three more weeks till filming!
