Judith Weston’s workshop was truly transformative as so many said it would be. I am genuinely inspired and excited about beginning to apply these principles of acting into my future directing. As you can see from my Twitters, her 3-day class gave me more insight and access to an emotional center that 4 years at a performing arts school couldn’t help me with. I’ve already scheduled individual meetings with the main cast of ./shutdown to discuss some of these things with them and delve into some areas that I think will really help later on the set.
I’m also grateful for the chance to meet and work with the other students in the class. Most were directors and a couple were producers and/or writers. They were all wonderful people. I’m looking forward to getting an email with a class picture someone took so I can post it up on here. I’ve convinced David to sign up for the class I just took, Acting for Directors and I just sent an email off to reserve a space in her next Script Analysis and Rehearsal Techniques course which isn’t until May. She only does two per year and that one is already close to full!
In other news, I’m looking forward to a ./shutdown paintball game on Saturday and editing the conclusion to the DDR Hero episodes. After that, I will be done editing ./shutdown for awhile. David will be in post production on the season finale during the second half of January while I am having the actor meetings. I’ll probably also edit another Film Fatale video blog and get back to writing songs for a musical ./shutdown episode you’ll see in season 2.
Things are pretty slow at work right now, so in my spare time I’ve been playing with Color trying to get to know the program. I also better start thinking about a fun concept for the next quarterly videos. The CEO told me he’d really like to do something creative that alot of people could get involved with. That is all!
