Well I haven't done very much with film and special effects lately (Just a few church services and one that required green screening) but I have been busy with my painting. Since the last time I posted something I have joined the Ticonderoga militia. Last weekend we were in the 250th anniversary of the French & Indian reenactment at Fort Ticonderoga. We reenacted the battle of Carillon. It was a blast! Saturday it rained and we got soaked but were able to get dried out enough to fight the next day. It was a neat experience to get a feel of what warfare was like at that time.
Drilling!

It was really neat to get a glimpse and some of the feeling of what it would have been like in warfare back then. The first time I marched out onto the field and the cannons opened up on us, I must say made my heart beet a little faster. Being in the midst of the shouts of officers and the excitement of battle gets your adrenaline up a bit. Drilling! Myself and my friend Mark. Preparing for battle! In the heat of battle! 
Leaving the field in the rain. I was soaked all the way through except for the front of my waistcoat which is made of wool. (I see now why they wore it.)
Back on the battlefield the next day!
Reforming!
Shot down for the third time!
Myself limping back to the rest of the company.
