Again, with no sleep, much rehearsal, and countless hours of hard work, filming is almost complete for Episode Two of “Try’na Make a Change”! A very special THANK YOU to all the extras who worked with us on the BBQ scene! You all were sooooo incredible! Since midnight Friday night and working through eggs, bacon, donuts, and BBQ ribs and potato salad – with plenty of coffee and sugar – we watched the sun rise as lighting was set and cameras were rolling! As the sun pierced through the windows – we placed up sheets and blankets to compensate for the lighting needed or not needed for our very professional film crew! The scene became humid and very trying with bloopers and a very tired crowd of people – BUT – WE DID IT! At the “WRAP” we pigged out on BBQ ribs, potato salad, cakes and pies - and as the cool of the evening creeped in, fried chicken was added to the large trays of food available for the actors and crew. WHAT A DAY IT WAS! At the end of the day, I saw many passed out with full bellies and smiles of satisfaction knowing we completed the shot we needed to! Beautiful work guys! BEAUTIFUL!
The foundation works are being laid now for Wordical’s latest stage theatrical production, “Craving Innocence”! We will soon be looking to cast a new group of older teens (ages 15 through 19) for this comedy/drama. We are now ready to jump back into our next live theatrical performance! Please keep an eye out for auditions to be starting soon! There is no fee to be involved but we will be looking to cast teens who have a sincere passion to perform. We are hoping to be able to perform at the end of summer – so AGAIN – check back with us soon for our post for auditions!
A team of Wordical actors/actresses made their mark at the annual San Diego Winning Women Conference on this past Saturday, May 8th, 2009! Using the theme of the conference, “If Only You Had Seen The Woman (I Could Have Been)”, the Wordical team created an outstanding performance infusing the atmosphere with such inspiration that the audience could feel for themselves that it was not too late for anyone to accomplish or be all that God has called them to be. As an added treat, Wordical included special R&B guest artist group, “All or Nothing”. They sang accapella filling the room with their incredible sound! Keep checking back with us and see what is happening with Wordical next! From the You Tube Series to the next theatrical production, “Craving Innocence”. Stay tuned!
Much thanks to Sam and Victor of Zero Budget Productions and Roderick of Shazark Video Entertainment as well as the tremendous work of the actors/actress for making Episode One of “Try’na Make a Change” a huge success! After eight hours of rehearsal and 11 hours of filming, countless hours of ABSOLUTELY NO SLEEP – episode one is a WRAP!
Thank you R-Jay, Jessica, Andrew, and Joshua for your tremendous patience as the film crew worked lighting and sound to make the scenes professional. To Chauncy, Manny, LaTajanae, Ben, and Tatyana – your help on the set was so greatly appreciated! To the extra background actresses, you did amazingly wonderful! Every scene was completed in a professional manner and so far we are ON SCHEDULE! (ok – so this is the first episode – but still – we are on schedule and that is AWESOME!).
