Prep for Wreaths & Warrior Video Shoot

Hellooooo!!

I can't even tell you how pumped I am for Wreath Day and our video shoot. It's going to be a fun weekend being with all of you! Let the bonding times roll!

WREATH DAY - Saturday, Nov 25

1. Location: Bethany United Church: 2669 Joseph Howe Drive (yellow church). There is limited parking in front of this entrance to the church but there is more around back (off of Clinton Ave).
2. Time: Arrive between 9:45 and 10:00 am. People will start picking their wreaths up at 1:00 PM. We will definitely be all done by 4:00 PM but maybe before.
3. Bring wire cutters and scissors if you have them (as many as you've got).
4. Bring SNACKS ... lots of snacks! Tea and coffee will be provided to keep us going through the day. :)
5. You are in charge of making sure all your wreaths get picked up or distributed. If you can't be present, you need to arrange with someone to check off your people as they pick them up or to take wreaths you are delivering with them.
6. If you have any outstanding money for sold wreaths, please bring it on Saturday.
7. Bring your playlists so we can listen to tunes. Christmas music and any other fun music is welcomed!
8. If you want to be super keen and review how to make bows before Saturday, check out this youtube video: 

WARRIOR VIDEO - Sunday, Nov 26

LOCATION: Nova Scotia Choral Federation Office - 1113 Marginal Road (the building that Garrison Brewery is in right in front of the Seaport Market).

Here's what you need to know to be ready:

1. Memorize Warrior if you haven't already.
2. Enjoy (but DON'T SHARE) the edited version of our recording session
3. Sign up for a time slot for your personal shoot.
4. Arrive 5 mins before your time and be ready (see below for what that means re: makeup and hair)

Hair and Makeup:

1. Full coverage foundation so your skin looks more flawless than is possible in nature
2. Blush and lips that make you look natural (no extreme colours or heavy applications)
3. Simple eye makeup (definitely mascara but not much else ... maybe minimal eyeliner but no shadow)
4. If you have hair long enough to pull back, pull it back - should be very neat (so no fly aways or "loose" ponies/buns) ... think ballerina.
5. No jewelry (except face piercings) - no earrings or necklaces or rings if possible)

Morgan and Anna will have foundation, blush, mascara, and simple lip colour if you are not a person who owns much makeup. Morgan will be focusing on making sure your face looks amazing and Anna will be painting ears. For those who are there in groups, it's possible that ear painting can become a group activity with some instruction. :)

Your time slot will be approximately 1 hour (could be less). Your actual time in front of the camera will be about 10 mins. Some of your shot will be of you singing and some of it will just be candid filming of you being you. Denique will make sure you look amazing when all is said and done. :)

I'll be there for nearly the whole day so I can't wait to see the magic happen! Denique and I are working on big plans for more videos in the coming months so enjoy this process and consider it a learning experience for more future endeavours!
