A couple of years ago I went and filmed the amazing people of the SCA organization and made a music video for a class assignment. This was such a fun challenge for me and a wonderful experience indeed. First of all, the fact that I am a little obsessed with the midevial times, ancient cultures, ect really fed into my curiosity of this outstanding group of people.
I was invited to come to the March Hare Event, that was held in Kansas and not only was there awesome battling going on, but there was also a contest on who could cook rabbit the best. Yes that is right, I said it, rabbit.
This was such a fun experience and I cannot thank the people of Calontir enough for letting me film them for my assignment. I wish I had better video editing software then... this video would have turned out even more amazing.
I don't think this group gets enough recognition though. They told me that they don't reenact history they recreate it. It would get boring if they knew the out come of all of the battles.
The SCA is a global oranization and has thousands of members that all acurately recreate the historic cultures of this time period. The SCA holds events all of the time and has a lot to teach. It is a great community of well rounded individuals that love history.
For this particular group you can visit their website at: http://calontir.org/
And for more information on the SCA: http://www.sca.org/
And lastly, Here is another video that will astound you with how many people are actually involved with this organization. I always love a good battle! Check it out!
