We had our second meeting at the Flynnspace yesterday, and not much happened. People didn't show up, and Rob, Andy, and I were left without a lot to do. Andy wrote a thumping techno song to underscore one of the commercials, but very little else was accomplished. However, I am not daunted.
I think that a day of wasted time and little productivity did a lot to spark our creativity. Andy wrote the music and some lyrics to the ballad last night, and it is amazing. Rob is working on lyrics and coming up with some great stuff, and I even tried my hand at songwriting and have come up with something that I think works pretty well.
I got the mockups for our posters today, and they are phenomenal. Chuck Harrison does our art work, and he is a genius. The funny thing is, we had been talking about a WWII style poster, but I forgot to mention it to Chuck. Somehow, based on my script, he had the same idea. It was awesome. That's how this whole experience has been so far. Everyone involved is on the same page, which is great because it keeps the show cohesive. It makes me feel great about my writing ability and this project.
SuperGym is exactly what I needed creatively. Everything I do in theatre right now is either community theater or school theatre. I love it, but sometimes I need to let out my real personality and sense of humor. This is the perfect project to do so. It makes me really happy to have so many positive responses to my work, and the guys have really helped improve upon it. It's a great experience, and I am so excited to see how far we can take this.
