Exciting Week of Progress
Greetings and welcome! How are you? Good day, bonjour,buenos dias, shalom, hey, hi, howdy, was'sup, what's happening? This is PM talking to you on the latest news this week.
Well, have these past two weeks been exciting or what? Last week we came up with a logo for our company and a title for our opera. This week, we created and posted our first promo teaser, set designers, make-up and costume presented their designs, we created a company WEB page and our first newsletter FINALLY went out YES,YES,YES! Sorry, I just got a tinsy bit too excited. well, that's how I am; enthusiastic about everything.
In the newsletter there's an article that includes thoughts of some company members about these three questions: What is an opera? What were your thoughts when you first heard you would be creating an opera? And, what do you want to learn from your job?
Our Historian, Millan, read, selected and edited answers and...BOOM!...BAM!...KAZAM! He was ready to type the newsletter. You can read our newsletter on our new WEB page at tasisdorado.info click on our opera teaser and...WAM!...You're there!
Do you remember last week's blog? I told you I would let you know about the characters of our play and who plays them. That's another thing we did this week! We finally selected our cast. That means we're ANOTHER step further in the production process of our opera! Oh my gosh! The opera is like my baby. It's growing up so quickly. Now i know how parents feel when their babies grow up. So sad! Sorry, I lost it there a bit too. I'm pretty random also.
Anyway,the time you've been waiting for...Ladies and gentlemen...our final cast is...drum roll, please...du gu du gu du gu du gu du gu:
1. Guillermo Jimenez as Atlas
2. Ana Santiago as Aslyne
3. Aishling O'Regan as Marvella
4. Luis Sierra as Pasud
5. Felix Maldonado as Adonis
6. Robert Longo as Poseidon
7. Miguel Valenzuela as Ruler #1/soldier
8. Javier Cuevas as Ruler #2/soldier
Yeah! Finally! I can't wait 'til opera day!
Unfortunately, I have to end this happy subject to go to a not so happy one...laziness. Some of our company members have been "slacking off". It isn't fair because they've been making the responsible people work harder; more work for less hands. UNFAIR! But this doesn't just affect the job group but the whole Company.
By not working, being distracted or distracting others, job tasks and the production calendar are delayed. For example, handing homework late delayed the newsletter. Because of the situation, we had to have a Company Meeting to discuss the situation. This is why the team leaders and I are keeping an eye on a few people. Well, we're working on that.
With that I've finished this weeks blog entry. I hope you enjoyed it. Please, don't be afraid to post your comments. It will help me know how I'm doing. Until next week! Bye!

Two more weeks of hard work
Hi guys! It's Patrick. From now on I will be calling myself PM (Production Manager). I just want you to know that I'm the one that's gon'na be writing on the blog. So, I probably won't introduce myself anymore. Well, let's get started...
This week, we finally chose a logo for our company and the title for our opera. There were three really good logo ideas but we had to choose one. The final logo is really pretty. It has the letters "E.A.G.". In it we used our design motif colors and line representing our theme "WONDER". It has orange and yellow and, with the chosen line, we created a blue wave that goes over the letters. In a way, This also represents our opera because it is about what happens to Atlantis. But, I can't talk much about this...So, you can see our logo in our 1st Newsletter which will be coming out this week. I'll see if I can post it.
Now, for the title. There were actually more choices for title than for logo, but logo's are harder to make. After a lot of brainstorming, the final title options were: "The final story of Atlantis", "Final Story of Atlantis", The True Story of Atlantis", "Atlantis: The True Story", "Atlantis: The Final Act" and "Atlantis: The Final Act?"
THE ONE THAT ONE WAS...."ATLANTIS: THE FINAL?"
I had a feeling it was going to win; only because of one thing...the question mark (?). The one without the question mark was pretty good, but it tells you that it is "the final act", the end of the story. So, you'd be thinking: "Oh, so it's the "normal" story of Atlantis and I know what's going to happen." But, with the question mark, we're letting you know there's something more to this story. Then you'll be thinking: "Oh, I don't know what will happen, I should see the play and find out." Pretty smart of us...right?
Now I have to go, but...stay tuned... because next week I will tell you how it went with our final character auditions. I'll tell you what people got what parts and the reactions on their faces. This is going to be so funny!
Bye!
