“Try’na Make a Change” nears it’s completion of filming!

You know, I look at today’s films and television shows and wonder if the writers really understand what society desires in entertainment. Then I look at the work we’ve accomplished up until now and think, wow! That’s entertainment!

Another weekend of filming and OH MY GOSH!!!! The comedy involved! The improvisation! The acting!

We have been so so so so fortunate (blessed as some would say) to have the cast, the crew, the musicians, the songwriters, and all the other talent that we have. It is my sincere desire that all of our actors who desire to continue in the field get picked up by major productions. Your skills rank up there with the best of the “A” list that I have seen on the screen and I am thankful that you have chosen us to work with on this awesome project!

Wordical Productions, Inc. thanks “Marinade’s BBQ”

Wordical Productions, Inc. thanks “Marinade’s BBQ” for allowing us to use and film in their facility!  It’s not everyday that a restaurant is willing to help the younger generation promote their skills and talents in the area of film and television – but “Marinade’s” was right there with their doors open! They even shut down for a day so we could film the entire day!  Who does that???? So we want to give a very special SHOUT-OUT to “Marinade’s BBQ” !

Marinade’s serves Ribs, Catfish, Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, Fried Chicken, and Hotlinks. They are located in the Miramar area at:

9508 Miramar Rd, San Diego, CA 92126
(858) 578-9582
THANK YOU LISA!!! You are an awesome support in giving back to the youth in the San Diego community!
Now everybody – go there and get you some BBQ!!!!

3 more episodes ’til completion of “Try’na Make a Change”

I really wish everyone had a chance to be at this last shoot! What comedy! From the wild character of “Lynn” played by Annaiah, the crazy expressions of “Manny” played by Richard, and the outrageous looks of ”Leeroy” played by Sacha - what a team they made!  The lines were on cue!  The improvisation was right on time! You were all a “crack-up” and I still laugh today when I think of the scenes recorded.  Annaiah – you are a ball of ENERGY!  Manny – I have worked with you for several years and you still are ranked high up there with the best of the comedians! Sacha – you have amazed me by the way you are capturing your unusual character! All three of you  worked fantasticly with your skills!
 
Again from the crazy comedy directly into the intensity of an emotional moment. “Brian” played by Jason – what an ability to take direction. Jason, you took a line and was able to transform it to become completely emotional giving the audience just a taste of curiousity – wanting and desiring to know your hidden story. It was beautiful!
 
R-jay and Brandon – your directing again is off the chain!!!! Three separate scenes depicting three separate days – ALL IN ONE DAY!!!! What a challenge that was for you! All I have to say is “GREAT JOB!”  You actually accomplished it!  Maybe one day you can actually get some sleep????
 
ONLY 3 MORE EPISODES TO FILM Y’ALL!!!!
We will be trying to pin down a day for another pretty big shoot coming up which will involve Fusse.  We will let everyone know as soon as we are able to do that!
 
MUCH LOVE
AND MANY MANY MANY THANK YOU’S for sharing your WONDERFUL TALENT with us for this series!!

“Try’na Make a Change” – filming is going great!

Again and again we go through incredible times of seeing the actors/actresses do their thing!  This past weekend of filming was another one of those times!

Dearin - you were “off the chain” – you even had us scared for a minute there! It’s amazing how you were able to bring out the “jerk” so much shown in your character, James. It was great “hating” you for those moments! The blow-up between you and Rjay – yes!!! It all looked sooooo awesome!

And to actress Monica Rojas . . . WHAT AN INCREDIBLE JOB! It’s one thing to act with another individual but when that individual has BECOME the character, you, in turn, have no choice but become your character (or look really bad on screen!) – and WOW!  That makes for a great scene!  It even took us a while in between takes because of the build up of emotion needed for Monica’s character, Tracy.

To the kids, LaTajanae, Benjamin, and Tatyana – you all amaze me with your skills for being so young!

 

Rjay – jumping between acting and directing – it’s a tough job to switch hats and get into character at the drop of a dime – and you are definitely pulling it off! The meat of this whole project is showing through and I am so excited about seeing the results!

 

Congratulations to “Siah S” jumping on board!

Wordical Productions, Inc. has just “inked” a deal with performing artist, “Siah S” for musical production in “Try’na Make A Change”! Siah S will be handling some of the music production and song writing for Season One.  Being known for his new “rock n soul” sound originating out of Texas, he is currently working with Mike Eddie out of Los Angeles and Trabeats out of Atlanta, and gaining recognition from both independent and major record labels. We are excited to have him on board and to see his talent at work.” Try’na Make A Change” production crew is taking major steps as we move forward with the incredible sounds of “Fusse” and the genius of “Siah S”.  Congratulations Siah! We’re proud to have you on board!

Try’na Make A Change – last night’s shoot

OK – Let me start with OOHHHHHH MYYYY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Last night’s shoot was, by far, the most incredible acting we have seen thus far! From a playful romantic stroll to an intense dramatic emotional performance!   All I have to say is WOW!

R-jay and Brandon, your direction and teamwork are awesome!  Ann – you brought everything to life . . . . from the kiss to the screams!  If anyone had been walking past that underground garage, they would’ve called 911! Chauncy and Joshua!  Your fight! Your struggle! The shear speed in which it all took place combined with the force and shock of the event was amazing! . . . . . and the camera picked up every bit of the intense emotion!

 

That’s why we love working with people who have a passion to act! What we witnessed last night seemed so real and that’s what it’s all about! You guys did an awesome job and I applaud your performance!

 

Thank you for your talent!
