Cracking Cancer the Commercial

I went out yesterday and whipped for a good 2-3 hours as part of a shoot for the commercial for my charity event I am doing. The commercial director sent me a rough cut today of it and I have to say it looks really good. I can't wait to have it completed!

For those of you who don't know, I am creating an event at my school called "Cracking Cancer". What it will be is a 1 Hour Demonstration and lecture of the historical, practical, and theatrical uses of the whip. Additionally (and here's where the charity come in), I will be setting up donation boxes. Because my school does not associate themselves with any other organization, these donation boxes will by my own personal attempt to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

My to-do list gets bigger and bigger as the event gets closer. I think my biggest fear is giving out mis-information. But that is precisely why I am putting together my "agenda" now. I want to make sure everything I do is above and beyond the expectations of not just my peers, but also the experts out there! I know I am still learning but I am very passionate about whips and fighting against cancer. So, here I am, combining the two!

Until Next Time,

"Cracking Cancer"

Hey Everyone!

I know it's been awhile since I last posted. Let me tell you what I've been up to!

So I am creating and hosting a charity event called "Cracking Cancer" at my school.  I will be giving a demonstration and lecture on the practical, historical, and theatrical uses of the whip. Additionally, I will be putting together donation boxes and encouraging all participants to donate funds to the American Cancer Society. In preparation, I have been working with a very talented graphic designer to put together some posters as well as a film crew to create a mini commercial which will be played at various venues on campus and online.

That paired with my school work and some outside projects I have been working on has made for a very busy Scarlett!

I am super excited for this event and the school is being exceedingly supportive. They are supplying me with a stage, sound equipment, space, and aid in promoting the event. Today, I plan to go to the park both to practice and work out a lesson plan of sorts. I'll need to be doing extra research to build on my existing knowledge of the whip and to make sure I am feeding 100% accurate information.

Anyway, TO THE PARK!!!!


More videos soon!

Until Next Time,
