Private Benjamin

A scene from Private Benjamin I directed in class a couple years ago. Decided to post it. Sound quality is not great because we were in class and didn't use mics. Blocking wasn't easy. Editing wasn't allowed and one stationary camera only.

What do you think of the potential for 'Private Benjamin -- The Musical'?

[aleishar]

Never thought of that, but actually considering the musicals that are being written now, I'm sure it would be a good possible project.  Just need to buy the right to write it... ;-) Do you write?

[Juliaflo]

Actually, yes. I am also a singer (lyric soprano).

[aleishar]

well I say then go for it. Your idea intrigued me. =) Let me know if you need any help. I'm studying about musicals and Hannah (Ockstarray) wants to write one with me.

That is really good considering the limitations given in the class. I don't understand the term 'blocking' though.

[aleishar]

Blocking is where the actors will start and where they move around to during their performance. It's their stage direction, if you will.

bullshit

[aleishar]

Thanks Emily. So glad you liked it. My actress was, indeed, very good. :D

Ah, I see. Well, to say blocking wasn't easy is quite the understatement, but you managed it nonetheless :) Great work, again.
