Today, Kyra (Potro and Wiz), her mom, Dee, and Kristie's (Spark) mom Bridget got a taste of what part of the Forge It Workshop will be about -- creating unforgettable characters and scenes for Season 2 of "Ghost Sniffers." Working together over popcorn (yum!), we decided:
(1) What Forge's team needed.
(2) What pop culture references we would draw from for our viewers (both kiddos and mommies).
(3) What naming convention would be used.
(4) How the character would make her first appearance.
(5) What archetype the character would be crafted around.
Of course, during Forge It, the crafting of plot and characters is only Week 1. We move on to acting, directing, shooting and even editing and effects, but as Robert McKee says, paramount is, "Good story, well told." Forge It is much more structured and in-depth than what we did tonight but I think everyone will be tickled to know that the kickbutt character of Xyra (Zeer-Ah) was created over triple butter popcorn :)
For everyone who registers ($25) for any Forge It session (Monday through Thursday; Online, or Saturday and Sunday) at the website in the month of June, you will not be billed until July 1. The workshop now officially has enough students to run and so we're full steam ahead!
