Crawling on the Ceiling

The hours are counting down to the huge shoot tonight at the Academy of Dance. These scenes are our first "scary" scenes with Forge being tested by the powerful Mythos to see if she's worthy of being named their champion against the Monster Bunny. The four Mythos will try to encase Forge in a thick ectoplastic; whisper to her that she should abandon Maxo, and call her faith into question. One Mythos even crawls, dragon-like, across the ceiling to try to scare her off. But, of course, in the end, Forge stands strong and proves she's one little girl who never retreats :)

Episode 8, "Wild Things Waking," and Episode 9, "Dime a Dozen," really push the envelope of what we can do with special effects. We're going to be using not only filters and split screens (though there's lots of thse) but also layered items and metamorphic effects which allow us to place characters and props in scenes in otherwise impossible ways.

We're doing amazing things in Season 1! Just imagine what Season 2 will bring ;)
