"Hi Chris Cobb for Expert Village welcome back. So we've just assigned board Id's to the characters that we've come across so far but there's still one more thing we have to do to add them to the scene. Let me show you what I mean. So we've just assigned all of our main characters board Id's in element manager and that if you recall was here in EP scheduling under break down. We'll now if you look at the breakdown sheet there not here and that's because we still have to assign them to the breakdown sheet. So let's add Sully, Hannah, Dougie, Adonis, and all the rest of the characters that were in the previous scene, ok? Also our background actors. We'll add our bar hoppers. We don't need cabs obviously. But we still have rain effects hitting the window let's say. So let's add it just to make sure we got it covered. Now come up here to the top and look at these arrows here. We're going to actually run sheet three, scene three but I want to go back one and take a look and make sure everybody's is accounted for there. Here's sheet two scene two ah so here they are with their numbers. Bar hoppers, rain effects. I added those earlier and let's go so let's go back. Sheet three, scene three and let's make sure that we add the wardrobe elements that appeared in the previous scene because this is really a continuation of them, ok? So there we go another break down sheet."
