Heavy Metal Casting Call

The casting continues, slowly but surely.  We’ve finally found the priest, and we all think he’s a perfect fit.  I’m also talking with several other people that I think are ideal for roles.  It’s a long process, to be sure.  This project is enough off the beaten path that I think most people can’t see themselves auditioning, or wouldn’t even think to without being drawn in via one of us.  Unfortunately, that puts us in the position of actively contacting people we think would work well.  I’m just lucky I’ve met so many talented people recently. 

 We have plans to meet with the Ignition Fire Troupe this weekend.  Everett Historic Theater has unanimously vetoed the idea of using fire in the venue, but Ignition has quite a few other types of performers we could make use of.  Of particular interest are their martial artists and acrobats.  We need people who can work with Eric to put together some great action scenes, and if we can work something out with Ignition, we may be able to square that away.

 We’ve also started looking into aerialists this week.  I know very little about what’s required to set that up, but we have gotten approval from the theater to implement it and we’re going to continue to investigate.  I can’t wait to see what the possibilities are in regards to this.

 The first promo video for Aeterno Elementum is being shot this week out at the theater.  Max Collinge will be filming us and doing the editing.  He’s done a great job in the past, so we’re all really excited to see what comes of it.  To that end, we’ve been spending the past week constructing costumes.  I have to say, they’re turning out amazing so far.  It’s pretty incredible what you can do with a little know how and some creativity (and some helpful expert guidance.)  I would really like to extend a thanks to Tandy Leather out in Shoreline for their help.  If anyone ever needs leatherworking supplies, be sure you check them out.
