This week we have a panel on the origin and development of the Might Morphin’ Power Rangers presented by Tony Oliver at Colorado Anime Fest 2024. Tony Oliver was a co-producer who helped with the initial development and pilot of the series, and continued working on the series through 1999. During this panel, Tony talked about this history and showed some behind the scenes footage of the show in development.
This week, we are presenting a recording of a Kendo demonstration that the Ito Dojo of Denver put on at Colorado Anime Fest 2024. Prior to the demo, they talked briefly about the history of kendo and how it developed from sword practice to a sport. They showed off what modern equipment looks like and how it was derived from armor. Then demonstrated footwork, how to wield a practice sword (shinai), and the four ways that points can be scored during a match. Lastly, they invited attendees up to practice some of the basic skills. This recording has been edited for time to highlight the most interesting parts of the panel. I hope you enjoy learning a bit about this martial art.
Hello again! This week we have a recording of Bridgette Hoffman’s panel on Breaths and Efforts. In both voice acting and ADR, breaths and efforts refers to various non-verbal noises that are included in the voice track. These can include grunts, coughs, sighs, wimpers, and almost any other sounds that people can make that aren’t words. Bridgette talked about here background in voice acting and ADR work, talked about how breaths and efforts are recorded, why they are often recorded separate from the main voice track. Then, she invited attendees to try out breaths and efforts for some improvised scenes. We hope you enjoy learning about breaths and efforts. Have a great week and game on!
