Photos, etc
Hello, everyone!
Hopefully you've all found this website by now! Pay special attention to the comments to this blog...it's where all the latest and greatest is. My heartfelt thanks to Peggy Midey, cheerleader supreme of this project. She has managed to secure a DC-6 aircraft for filming the interior shots! This is a great milestone....we can theoretically get on with the filming at any time!
On the next meeting, Wednesday, July 11, at Friends Church, I want to take photos of ALL the participants, and post it on the website with a little biography/resume. I think this will be the best way to match up the necessary skills and talents with the right personnel.
A note especially to the actors. When we meet together, I want you to always refer to your fellow actors by their CHARACTER names. There is a tremendous psychological boost to this...it forces you to "live" in the character's role, which will make your acting more natural, when it's time to film. This is an old "method acting" exercise which has been very effective for many decades. On Wednesday evening, I'm going to give a little talk about my vision of acting in general, and especially the unique requirements of Plasma Dreams.
I encourage you to come to the meeting thinking about your favorite movies, and what it is about them that particularly holds your attention. We will discuss these, and apply the best characteristics to Plasma Dreams. I want each one of you to have your own vision for your role...this is crucial to making the movie "magic" as opposed to just a bunch of people on a stage acting.
God bless you all until Wednesday!
Eric

Greetings everyone! It just so happen that I came acrost this verse and the following commentary, just before one of our meetings.
I've decided to share it here, as an inspiration to our work:
Exodus 35:30-33
And Moses said tho the children of Israel, :See, the Lord has called tby name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and undertanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship".
This Scripture especially sticks out to me, because through the Holy spirit,the gifts of artwork were bestowed on this individual, as well as on us.
"When artistic talent is enlivened by the Spirit of God, it becomes an act of worship that then can become a witness to point people to
christ. God has greatly enriched our lives with beauty. And we in turn express our gratitude by displaying His glory in our art." -Julie Ackerman Link-
"God delights in the creative gifts He has granted to us. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote at the bottom of each of his music compositions the letters S.D.G., which stood for Soli Deo Gloria-to the glory of God alone. The great composer's motto reminds us of Paul's admonition, "Whatever you co, do all to the glory of God" (1Cor.10:31) -HDF
