icarusHmm. Interesting. People are actually using Dreamwidth, commenting, friending people. I'm icarus there, by the way.
I move with the statistics. Swim with the fishes--
--wait. That's the not the right metaphor.
Out Of Bounds: Wrote two more transitional scenes leading up to the freeskate (sigh, there was only supposed to be one transitional scene, but Rodney demanded attention). Heard back from ze beta team this weekend and last night.
Writing the freeskate ... wow. No wonder choreographers make so much money. Choreograpy is hard. But we made terrific progress on the background for John's freeskate last night.skinscript and I are now 1:40 into a 4:38 minute program. We're talking out the choreography in chat. Step by step, fully choreographing the whole program. Then I'm going back and writing the summer scenes where they developed it. Then roaringmice is looking over my descriptions, while rabidfan and company tackle everything else. I feel like I should be paying them, I really do.
Tidbit from the summer choreography sessions:
"That looks like tiger style," John commented.
Rodney and Sonja gave him twin blank looks.
"Like in the kung-fu movies? Every defensive move is an offensive move? You hold your hands like claws?" John clenched his fingers and struck a kung-fu pose. Sonja glanced at Rodney, who spread his hands in defeat. "Come on, you had to have seen this," John whined, shoulders sagging.
