Here are some of the skits performed by my group, Ninja of the Night. To learn more about the group, feel free to click on the link above.
Fushigi Yuugi
Role: Miaka Convention: Fanime 2010 Premise: Best friends Yui and Miaka stumble upon an ancient book and are transported into the story. They become priestesses from the story and, after gaining their powers, their friendship is tested and jealousy threatens to tear the girls apart. Award(s):WCS Team USA Winners! Notes: Our goal with this performance was to communicate the story of Miaka and Yui across language barriers. We tried our best and were absolutely stunned when we won! Being part of the WCS is a dream that I never thought I could achieve and I'm so thankful to be a part of it all!
How 2B A Master
Role: Jessie Convention: Sakuracon 2010 Premise: Follow Ash Ketchum as he learns the 5 steps he must take to become a Pokemon master! Award(s): Best in Show! Notes: Pokemon rules!
Saga Frontier
Role: Princess White Rose Convention: Youmacon 2009 Premise: Asellus searches for her beloved princess. However, their meeting does not go as planned... Award(s): Best Journeyman Presentation; Judge's award for craftsmanship! Notes: Megan (Asellus) and I decided to do graceful, pleasant skit for once, though it didn't go as planned. After an hour of mixing music, we struggled to find an appropriate ending song so we started getting silly. An off-hand joke about Claratin made us laugh pretty hard (as most things do at 2AM) and we decided to incorporate it into our skit. We recorded the skit in our hotel room using the crummy mic on my laptop and old SFX from "Game of Life." It was a completely last-minute skit but I'm glad we did it. It was also Megan's first skit!
Sora the Explorer
Role: Naruto; Voice: Kairi Convention: Sakuracon 2009 Premise: Uh.... Award(s): Best in Show! Notes: Although I was involved in the editing of this skit, I was never intended to be in the cast. However, thanks to Kayla and Mandy, I was thrown in as a last-minute addition to the cast and I could not be more thankful. This skit was definitely one of my favorites! It is one of our most techinical skits and we had a fairly large cast so we all had to practice quite a bit. Our work paid off though because the audience was awesome - they laughed and groaned in just the right places and played along with us the whole time! It was a really cool experience!
The Game Of Life
Role: ??? Convention: Anime Central 2008 Premise: Light Yagami awakes in a dark room, chained to a chair. A mysterious voice presents him with a gruesome choice: "play a little game" or die. Award(s): Best in Show! Notes: The idea for this skit came to me when the girls and I were discussing horror-themed skits to perform at Sakuracon 08. The idea was impossible with 4+ people but, after some encouraging words from Krystal, I wrote up a draft of the script and we decided to perform it at Acen. Krystal and I both thought it was funny but we were completely unprepared for the reaction we receivd. The audience caught on to the Saw theme immediately and it was just a wall of laughs. I still get butterflies when I think about it.
Between Life and Death Note
Role: Naruto; Voice: Orihime Convention: Sakuracon 2008 Premise: Three strangers find themselves dead at the hands of Kira. To resotre their lives, they must first restore balance to the world...by defeating Kira. Award(s):N/A Notes: In 2008, we really struggled to come up a skit and settled on this idea about a month before the con. We all liked the idea though and worked very hard to pull it off. In general, we are not 100% pleased with this skit (the lack of set is a little out of our comfort zone) but I am still proud that we were able to pull this off in a short amount of time!
Super Elric Brothers
Role: Card Captor Sakura Convention: Sakuracon 2007 Premise: When Winry is kidnapped, it's up to Ed to save her. With the use of a mysterious green pipe as his doorway, Ed battles the clock and must travel through a series of shoujo-themed worlds to find his friend. Can he find her in time to profess his love? Award(s): Best Veteran Skit! Notes: This was my first skit and it will always hold a special place in my heart! I still love it even to this day.
