Stunt Show





Howdy all. Lately I have been working on a charity fundraiser stunt show for the childrens hospital that one of the studios here in town is putting on. They are calling it The Village of Villans. I was asked to work on it while still on Dugeon Siege. At that time i was asked to do it wearing the Krug suit. I have mixed feelings about putting the Krug suit back on so thank the lord the producers didn't want people to see the suits before the release of the film.


OOPPPPS!!! LAW Suit

I now get to be Me this time!!!! YA.
Then they gave me this mask.



I once again have mixed feeling because i have to flip and the mast is tight and blinding. I convince them to let me go without it. The set is left over from Stargate SGI and its awsome. Its a huge Medieval Village.





This is our playground. All the buildings are real with full interiors and furnature too. Just watch your step when not on the ground floor becauce 90% of what you see here is all foam. The other thing about the foam is it gets damaged easily and they want to come back and keep shooting Stargate here next season. So haveing a huge medieval battle as we plan to every 15 min for three day will be tough without bustin stuff. We shall try our very best. Although we have already damaged alot. HEHE!! We have had three reheasals now and things are going well. Friday night we have our first show at 6 pm and the all day Sat and Sun. It will be fun but tiring. The last rehearsal we got our costumes to try. We all had fittings last week but were ancious to try them with the action we will be doing.

Dinho, thats pronounced (Jeen-Yo) get his stuff on

Katie has trouble with her pant and the booties they gave her but she manages.

The Rehersals are slow going because things keep changeing. The stunt show follows a small child that seems to be plucked from the crowd to be sent to the medieval prison. He escapes from the jailer and battles his way through many many enamies (us) to finaly rescue all the people watching the show from certain death. There are two kinds of bad guys, witches guards. I play one of them and the other kind are the Alians. The alians and the witches are supposed to be fighting over the ghosts in the grave yard. The tour in the studio travels through many different places before the stunt show and the story is brought out in this tour. Puppets and actors playing alians tell there side of the story on one set then the tour travels through the grave yard to the witches layer where they get more story from the witch. All this time many tricks of the movies are used to make all this happen. Finally the tour is stopped by the witches guards because the tour group is disrupting something I don't know exactly I havn't taken the tour my self but that's he jist. The child is pulled from the crowed is the first to go. The mother (an actress) pleeds for the child the kid sceams. Then begins the stunt show. Its alot of work for one 10 year old kid to do in one go so we have 6 leaning the show. This is what takes the majority of the time. All the children are good but one, Conner, is amazing. He is as good as the rest of us. Oh ya I forgot he has been doing stunt for 5 years now. Rehearsals also take forever because every child needs to lean and we need to lean a different show for each child. Only slightly different but still different because some kids cant do what others can. This gives us time to just hang out wich is nice.





Its nice to catch up.
The high fall guys wait there turn. Thats a thirty foot drop there.



Brian practices a leap in full wordrobe. The ball cap will be removed on the day.
