>> Act 4, with Act 5 scenes due next Wednesday, and with all of it set to
>> “screen” on Saturday evening of Reunion weekend, August 15.

>>
>> We are coming into the home stretch, and are hoping to reach those of you

>> Bohemians.  For instance, we would love to have some by-standing/court

>> or outside.  Jason says these clips should be *10-20 seconds long.*

>>
>>
>> *CLIPS ARE DUE TO MAGGIE (NOT JASON!!!!) BY **NEXT SATURDAY AUGUST 8*

>> In addition to looking for Lords and Ladies (and maybe Shepherds and
>> Shepherdesses), we are also putting out a call for clips of *EVERYONE*
>> (already involved or not) who wants to be a *SHEEP* in a Zoom-type
>> checkerboard of as many people as possible to close the film.  Alice Gordon
>> rigged up the delightful sheep head pictured above in a couple of minutes
>> using a couple of white hand towels, but please feel free to rig up your
>> own sheep impression.  For these clips we would like everyone to shoot
>> their clip *outdoors*, and just a *head shot*, as in Alice’s image.
>> Once you’ve rigged up your head gear, we’re looking for a video clip about 
>> *10-20
>> seconds long* of you baaaa-ing, moving your head side to side, anything
>> that strikes you as capturing the essence of Sheep.  Jason says if he needs
>> longer duration he will loop the clips.

>> PLEASE forward this to anyone you know who might want to participate, and
