** WATCH Weekly Report 04-22-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
TIP OF THE WEEK: There seems to be some overlap
in scoring of set design and set construction, but these are two very
different animals. Set design is how well the design interprets the
needs of the script and enhances the director's vision, plus level of
difficulty for things like multiple locations, creative use of the space
or design of a non-traditional set that still establishes setting or
concept. Set construction is the actual building of the set - is it
sturdy, does it look entirely believable as a structure, plus level of
difficulty for things like moving pieces and smoothly executed changes
of set.
