Daytime Moon Creates their Characters

Howdy! Veronica here with another update on the Daytime Moon blog.

Last Saturday at Simple studios, Maxine, Luke, Jake M., Jake A., Sarah, and Christine played a lot of games. They began by playing the talent show again. For example, Maxine’s talent is making mac and cheese. Here's a video down below. Check it out now!

Next they did their character interview and in their character interview, their buddies interviewed them about their hidden talents. During the interview, they created their character for the show based off of their talents. Their buddies asked them how their characters talents have helped people before.

Here is Jake M. and his buddy, Elisa, working on developing his character. 

Chef Salsa is played by Christine. Chef Salsa is good at cooking because her family likes her cooking. Her favorite thing to cook is spaghetti. Here is another video of Chef Salsa being interviewed about her talents. 

The next game was Character Statue. It is when everybody shows their character without moving. Next, in character tag, the kids tagged each other but they didn’t use their hands. Somebody just had to stay still after someone tagged them by using their statue instead of their hands.

In this photo, Jake A. is trying to stay still in his character statue.

Character Challenge came next. It is about pretending that you’re acting out a scene about a birthday party. The people forgot about the entertainment at the party and they didn’t know what to do at the party. They had to try and come up with some entertainment using their imagination and their character’s talents.

Ella, the teacher, is teaching everybody about the games.

In one scene, Nicky’s character, Paul Grand, was showing everyone how to play video games, and Jake A.’s character, Eddy Pellegrino, was telling a story, and Jake M.’s character, Jack Fixer, was fixing the piñata.

The kids reacted to the games in a positive way. They loved the talent show. It made them feel proud of themselves. Character Statue was hard for them because they had to stay still. Character Challenge was hard too because they had to find a way for all of their characters to work together with their very different talents. But they had a lot of fun.

The games were played because the kids helped developed the actors’ characters that will be used in the script.
