Snow Queen Video Shoot
Our production of The Snow Queen features a multimedia component and director Reiner Prochaska has been busy filming video sequences for the show. These mini movies will play on screens upstage of the action. Yesterday evening, Reiner filmed some segments in our Ensemble School classroom:
Julie Herber and Reiner apply makeup to Ken Poisson, who will be playing the part of "Evil Sprite."
Julie makes Ken look evil, Reiner applies spirit gum and elf ears. Ken relaxes, enjoys the attention, sips a Fresca and muses that he should wear this makeup when playing World of Warcraft.
Ken is an evil sprite!
Reiner sets up a low-tech green screen. 'Real' green screens are incredibly expensive, but Reiner made this one for $4, using plastic tablecloths. He said the other videos he's shot with this cheap solution look great.
Ken positions Ensemble School students Austin Lemere and Lena Janes, who are playing his minions. Reiner prepares to shoot their scene.

Ken's Evil Amulet
Ken prepares for his role as an evil sprite in a Snow Queen video sequence. There was a minor costume malfunction just prior to the shoot. But Ken, ever the resourceful METster, grabbed some spirit gum and saved the day!
New MET Website!
We have a new look for our MET website! Same address (www.marylandensemble.org), different look.

In the photo, Gené and I are talking (on our fancy new phone in our fancy new conference room with our fancy new table!) with web guy Phil Graves. Gené designed the look of the site and Phil put everything together for us.

As with any new technology, there are always bugs to work out - thank you for being patient as we make this transition. Let us know what you think about the new site! Email me at sstraw@marylandensemble.org
