DI Reflection #2

having come up with a concept for our script, we went to Home Depot to get our supplies. We are on a tight budget, so we have to be selective about what we buy. Our materials we got today are the equipment to create the puppet's movement mechanism. It is essentially a pole with a wheel attached to the puppet so that it can slide up and down (and thus look like it is moving), and then a hinge so that the puppet can be flipped upside down to reveal a new puppet. The puppet is going to be quite heavy and take some maneuvering, so I am thankful for the fact that I have a lot more arm strength now due to constantly holding my arms stiffly away from my body in ballet class. We are going to begin work on our scrim next week, along with the puppet.
