Girl Scouts: Meeting Recap (sorry it's late!)

Hi everyone!

Just a quick rundown on our meeting last Wednesday.  We're really getting down to work!

We started, as usual, with a brain/body warm up--an indoor snowball fight!  The girls all wrote down three facts (little known, preferably) about themselves on a piece of paper, and then crumpled up the paper and we had a couple minute snowball fight with our paper balls.  After we were all done giggling it out, we unrolled the snowballs and tried to guess which facts went with which girl.  

After that, we got right to work!  We wanted to do some filming, so we started with the scene directions for "Look both ways before crossing the street" by Kendra.  We developed our shooting schedule, and scenes inside first, since it was kind of yucky outside, and once Director Kendra thought we were ready, we took it outside and started shooting!  We got some good footage, and Camerawoman Quinn will try putting it together so we can see how it looks next meeting.  

The next scene we had decided to film this week was the interview of Officer Vlaj, unfortunately he wasn't able to come to our meeting (he should be free next month though) BUT, that gave us a great opportunity to prepare our shots and the scene based on what Directors Eva and Teagan had as their creative vision.  The girls got some good practice so they should be prepared and professional when it's time to do it for reaI.  I think we should be ready to rock and roll for the interview in February!  

A big round of applause goes out to all of our actresses, script and question-writers, camerawomen, directors, and stagehands for their work!  By the end of the couple hours, the girls had started to really get the hang of thinking visually and setting up scenes.

Our next gathering is for the Discovery World sleepover Feb 7-8, and I think almost everyone is going, so we'll have a big group!  We'll finalize travel arrangements and such in the next week or so.  See you then!
