The Libretto/Score

I guess I have to prove that we actual do have a Libretto and a Score,
so here's a shot of those materials.

Both the Libretto and Score are divided into 

Act One & Act Two

Even though Act One Score looks pretty beefy there,

that doesn't include the score for individual Instruments.

It is designed for a 24 piece Pit Orchestra

and what you see there are drafts of the final score

and not all numbers are printed out there.

Below is a long shot of the Production breakdown 

that outlines the timing of the show,

including production numbers and set changes,

assuming the sets are along the lines of the ones I have designed,

which may not be the case, since things have expanded since then.

It doesn't really tell you much, except that 

this degree of Production Breakdown 

is done and hanging on the back of my door.

It's really only a timing document,

 outlining the musical numbers, their timing, length of dialogue, 

scene timing, bridges and set change timing.

Oh, and there is some blocking in there too.

The Libretto has Technical, Operational and Directorial notes included.

In the larger scheme of things, there's way more work to do. 

For now I'm focused on publishing the Illustrated Storybooks.

After that I will publish the Libretto and continue working on the score.

There's still more Arrangements that need to be done,

but there's a lot of numbers that I can do the final score on.

I have to go back and redo the Divisi and the time signatures

(that I lost due to a hard drive failure)

as well as other aspects of the score that need to be addressed.

But I'm not going to touch the music until 

the Illustrated Storybooks are finished and are being published.

Mainly, because I don't want to overburden my computer 

and end up with more hard drive failures.

Truth be told, 

I lost ten years worth of work with numerous hard drive failures, 

work that I had to rebuild or recreate.

That is why it has taken me so long to do this.

Gadzooks!

"Never Been So Near"

 Well, while I'm at it I guess I'll post this song again.
This is the First Song in the show
(other than the Overture)

"Never Been So Near"

I made this as a animation almost ten years ago

using the Artwork we had at the time.

We have not recorded anyone singing it yet,

so I just put the lyrics up as a scroll up the screen.

I think you can get the gist of it.

I don't think I need a bouncing ball.

A Promotional Powerpoint

 A Sample of the e-Storybook Format

As I was working on posting the "Talking head" video below,

I found this sample powerpoint presentation I made

as a test for how the e-Storybook might look.

I was experimenting with what I could do with PowerPoint.

It's a little stiff, the narration,

 because I was worried about slurring the words

and I tried to narrate it at a reasonable speed 

that one might casually read the material.

I did not want to read it too fast.

You know how it is,

 sometimes you just take things too seriously.

The narration from this is published in

 Volume/Book: One Introduction to 

Oh well, take it for what it is.

I am about to actively seek Agency Representation, 

so this might help.

Also, I hope to locate Theatre & Film Producers 

who may like to be involved as well.

I expect that this gives a good picture of the project.

I think I probably posted this years ago when I made it.

I've been totally engaged in the publishing end of things

and I didn't realize that finishing that would take years.

Discussions

 Here is a discussion regarding The Gnomes of New Hope.

I expect that I will start discussing what is going on with the process via video.

This as a way of experimenting with uploading videos, 

so when we start making animations

we can post some of them here.

I ended up doing four of these videos as part of one conversation

so if you want to see the other ones you will need to do so from:

 Arthur Greisiger on YouTube

Eventually I will post more films there

"You're Not Getting The Point"

an expressionistic documentary film about the Point Pleasant Pumping Station (I need to add some audio to the intro first)

I have a few music videos, 

other documentaries and short films 

to add as well, whenever I get around to making them presentable.
