Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Hello, Bay State enthusiasts!

Sir Joshua Brown reminded me that I did not post about the 116 Read-Through! Travesty, as I'm Head Writer.

Before talking about the script itself, let me mention another success of the night: creating the Bay State Punch.
It's made of Strawberry Kool-Aid and Blueberry-Pomegranate juice. Laur took this color-accented picture as I was mixing it together. Get it? We were finally drinking the Kool-Aid, as people so often say about our organization. Because we can take a joke :)


But back to the read-through! The episode went over really well. There's some very intense fraternity threatening, a few secrets revealed, a kiss or two, and a whole lot of typical college flirting and mischief. If Episode 115 was a solid back-to-school meet-and-greet, and Episode 117 is an epically dark final episode of this three-ep arc, Episode 116, "We Can Go to My Room," is the sweet, light-hearted middle episode (with the typical Bay State dark edge) that sets up everything to explode in 117.

Laura and Amanda can't believe a certain scene at the end of the third act. You'll know the one when you see it. Yeah, we're going there. Or are we? Someone's character is put in quite a dangerous position.

I think you'll all enjoy 116. It's going to be a lot of fun to shoot, since it centers around one thing we do the best at--giant party scenes with too many character for one 2nd AD to handle.

And...other big news! WE PAINTED THE FLATS. Goodbye, Mint Green.

Liz, Amadeo, and I got to COM at 8:30 in the morning to pull them all out and lay everything down. We pulled off all the tape and staples, sanded down the nail holes, and got to work. Professor Cav bought us supplies and paint (Laur and I debated over the color forever, but I like the warm yellow we chose), and I got to work edging the doors and windows while Liz and Amadeo rolled a first coat onto all the flats. Jon and Taylor came by soon, and they helped do the second coats and paint the trim.

Here they are! Ready to be used in a few hours...on our Saturday shoot!

See you soon...we can go to Studio East,
