Transitioning Fantasy into Reality.

What this episode covers

Matthew Carauddo loved watching Starwars films, but was frustrated that they were not “real enough”. The lightsaber props were too cute. Not realistic enough! So he put out the audition listing to build a cast. In a controlled environment, he directed, produced, built all the lightsaber props to produce a thrilling performance with his team called Balance of Power. “It was more of a test for me to try that out and see like, is this possible to make something that's competent and also exciting, but not simply cute little demonstration.” - Matthew Carauddo Back then (2005) Youtube was relatively new, so you can imagine how exciting it was for his show to reach 50k views! This goes to show you, it pays to sometimes just put the content out there on new platforms, you never know how well it will perform! (Tik-Tok anyone?)
