This was, in
comparison to any other meeting I’ve ever attended, a completely different
kettle of fish. What happened, you ask?
As supposed Director
of this particular Ninja Academy film, the “WRONG SCHOOL” short, I was meant to
be the decision maker. It was scary.
To start off, I let
the PK lot show-off their skills and practice possible filmable moves, while we
hastily set up – Cara cut black headbands for ninjas, others got the cameras
out and ready etc. Then, it was time to attempt filming *tremble*
Luckily Tim wasn’t
there really, because the camera got fairly close to various backflips and
cartwheels, and other fancy lightning-fast moves that others and I attempted to
catch on film – I think this went decently, though I haven’t watched the
footage. Actually, I hope I am the one to deal with it, because there is A LOT
of my raised (and screechy) voice recorded, when I was trying to get 20-odd
people’s attention at once, and I don’t want anyone to hear...
Chris helped with suggestions, and came up with a
good clip starring the Sensei/Ninja teacher – Ceidiog – and the useless ninja –
Marjolein – with everyone else doing good cartwheels...except her. Bless. She
also proved her worth(lessness) at the Ninja Choir, which is conducted in
absolute silence until she sings out “DON’T STOP ME, DON’T STOP ME, DON’T STOP
ME-” before being hit with a shuriken (made by Ceileidh). For the “WRONG SCHOOL” sketch, with Ceidiog teaching a class on "How to break necks" and using his pupils to "demonstrate", and Liam
Anderson as a wonderful Harry Potter (costume courtesy of Shaela), I’d say
it went well. :)
When can we do this
again, you may be wondering?
I don’t know. We shall
see.
A sincere thanks to everyone who
helped :D I needed all the assistance I could get!
