Movie Makers Meeting #2

We had our second meeting of the Movie Makers last night, and it went really well! Merritt proposed an idea for our project that everyone agreed was really awesome.

You all remember my blog post about Scott Pilgrim: the movie and the comic, right? Of course you do! Anywho, Merritt thought it would be cool to do our own version of Scott Pilgrim where, to win the affections of Ramona Flowers, Scott must battle her 7 evil exes. Only, instead of the evil exes from the books we've chosen book/movie/tv characters for our Scott Pilgrim to battle! Here they are:

  • Howl Jenkins (Howl's Moving Castle)
  • Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)
  • Peeta Malark (Hunger Games trilogy)
  • the creepy twins from The Shining
  • Captain Jack Sparrow
  • Voldemort (well, you know)
We're thinking that Edward Cullen will also make a quick cameo as well as other favorite characters like Katara, Kingdom Hearts characters, and Frank J. Brown.

So the homework for next meeting is to watch/read/research Scott Pilgrim so you know what we're talking about when we plan out the episodes! If you haven't come to Movie Makers yet, you are definitely welcome, there are lots of characters to be cast and lots of other things to do if you don't want to be in front of the camera!

DFTBA,
Sti

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

The final event  of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
