Even though I give you explicit directions below, feel free to walk in and out of your cameras - from one to another - at will. Feel free to change costume or character between them, feel free to quote from another script you know OR TO IMPROVISE at any time. Also, if you like it better, feel free to follow the directions explicitly. Cycle one starts before Gillien gets there. so Im saving Spoon River footage for the second one. Dont worry about filling the time or timing... Altho trying to stretch is out is good in cuseeme since the packets of electrons have to travel.
