As @shipwreckedcomedy‘s Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party enters pre-production, I wanted to do my part to make sure the most crucial creative decision (ravens/no ravens) is decided correctly. The correct answer, obviously, is ravens, all the way.

Fortunately, the greater Los Angeles area has a large number of professional actors who also happen to be ravens. Today I was approached by this pair, who, hearing of my (admittedly tenuous) connection to the show (”guys,” I kept saying, “I’m just a Kickstarter backer”), insisted I record this audition tape and forward it to the appropriate parties.

So here you go. You’ll note that they:

• work well together
• can perform complex blocking with minimal rehearsal
• do their own stunts

They’re currently involved in another production, but anticipate being free by the time Poe Party begins shooting.

Head shots available on request.

It rained yesterday, so I went to the marsh this morning hoping to see a Rhopalomyia californica emergence. I’ll post separately about my bug hunt, but in the meantime here’s the water and sky that kept distracting me.

I made another video. This one’s about high tide, and the coastline at Ash Avenue in Carpinteria, and the salt marsh that lies behind it.

My great grandfather used to hand-tint photographs (mostly of roses in his garden, if I remember correctly). My grandfather had boxes of the slides, and used to show them to anyone who was interested.

I guess this is my version of that.
