keystone3ply Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Not 2023, but Jeff Sacktig describing the 2022 design: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Ok so. 1) The thumbnail has a screen shot with one of those columns of fabric circled. I was half interested if he'd talk about how difficult those were to clean and if there was some sort of intention in not having them perfectly clean and if perhaps even the shape was not actually a rectangle of fabric given the swirly effect. But there's now mention of this part of the show in the video..wtf? I feel a bit clickbaited! 2) OH THE ORANGE THING IS AN INFINITY SYMBOL. How the heck did I not see this all season? I'm even more obsessed with it. 3) For all the flack the ballad cloth got, I still think it was super effective. Particularly on the pull out reveal. Here I note that it WAS an oval and not a circle. So the design here was not going for geometric perfection but more 'fabric in motion' effects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpsouthern81 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 There’s a longer video that includes the four fabric pieces at https://www.stridetv.com/programs/inside-drum-corps-ep1?categoryId=108700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain is just trained on what seems to be more old school geometry on the field through drill forms than motion. So it sort of bothered me all season they never made nice clean shapes with those four banners. Edited March 15, 2023 by KVG_DC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBaritone19 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Listening to Jeff explain the ideas of the show last year really shows how simple the show was. I think they performed the heck out of the show with what they were trying to do and I am looking forward to this season. Also thought it was interesting that he tries to incorporate a crown set within the theme of the show instead of just having it there. I still love seeing the traditional crown set, but Jeff is a master at what he does, so no complaints here haha. Hope everyone has been well. Go Crown! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how those fans who want the shows designed so the mm can easily tell the story feel about some not getting a good read/understanding until late in the season.

You can't satisfy everyone. Design the show you want to put on the field and give the members a good summer. The rest is just a bonus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get out of the lab more often. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
