Mission Statement:
To present diverse, progressive, and heroic sword-based puppet theater
with an emphasis on classical works and their respective swords. Forward the
agenda of casual swordplay as a means of exercise, entertainment, and
education.
Style:
SGPT will focus on creating a wide variety of styles
to create visual and cultural diversity in the works presented. Styles will
utilize hand and glove, rod, shadow, and synergistic puppets to challenge the
audiences concept of reality and reward their willing suspension of disbelief.
In addition to these traditional puppetry styles, SGPT will also utilize modern
visual effects and digital recording and presentation as a means of creating
both a unified media campaign, and a platform for building future works.
First Project:
Warhamlet: Dusk of War. Written by Jeremiah
Liend, Warhamlet is a sci-fi fantasy space opera epic. It bases itself entirely
on the classical work by Shakespeare, and attempts to create a cognitive dissidence
by juxtaposing miniature scale with macro scale. The ultimate goal is creating
a live performance, but at current the goal of the Guild is to capture work
digitally. Below is test footage of aligning green screening with voice, as
well as a dialogue exchange with roughly composited faces. Neither represent
the quality of the final product, but rather as proof of concept that works
towards creating a 4 hour long nerd-epic.
