Thanks and Drift update

This is a BIG thank you to all the volunteers who came to the set this weekend, November 12-13. I know some of you travelled a significant distance to be with us and I am really grateful you made the journey!  More importantly, I hope you had fun too!

It was a very hectic weekend with a lot of different things going on: Set building, make up, testing/research/teaching, costume research, plot meetings, helmet building, body suit development, electrical visual effects, set painting, tea drinking… You name it, we were doing it!!!!

Now that most of the sawdust has settled, I have been able to reflect on the 48 hours of madness and seen that we have come a long way – that is all down to you guys, my Drifters!

Matt will be keeping you updated on developments for the next series of meets, please let him know of your availability.  As time progress, we will be introducing more aspects of the production, whereby in January we will be breaking out the camera and lights ready for some film testing!!!!!

In the meantime, be pleased and proud of what you have done so far – everyone makes a difference!

Thanks again and see you soon!
