It's GO Time!!! Last dry run...

Excepting 1st and 3rd pds, everyone will immediately get equipment, gear, props, wardrobe, makeup, 1st AD folder, scripts, and brains and head onto your set.

You're going to be TIMED today, for setup and breakdown, and your ability to be ready to film a 30-second scene and follow proper call/response procedure during today's class.

We'll stop early (after 30 minutes) so that teams can FIX their folders and IMPROVE their team grades.

This is the final preparation stage for next week--Days 10 through 15 (filming) begin Monday.

It's what you've worked hard to be ready for; so let's make some movies!!!!

Checking for Continuity

See how many mistakes you can spot!

Day 8, PLUS!

Many of you never turned in a script, which will have a negative effect on your grade. If you just need to print it, do so NOW and turn in to the black basket on my desk.

Propsmaster: Collect props and update list.

Makeup: Organize materials and start practicing.
