So much for posting frequently this week- it's been pretty hectic due to being on set all day. I directed my final project on saturday, and it was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. Basically, the weather was terrible in the morning, so I had to start off shooting in my cover set (we can't film outside when it rains). I wasn't happy about that, but I made some revisions to my script on the fly and began to shoot it. David (the FA on set with us) and Jim (my advisor), because it had cleared up by lunchtime, suggested I get outside as soon as possible and try to reshoot the parts I shot in the morning. Once I finished what I had to shoot, I reshot ALL of the indoor parts at a breakneck pace, with just enough time on the P2 card (memory) to get it all. I couldn't have pulled it off without the help of my amazing crew and actors, and I have so much to thank them for. It sounds like next week will be editing and electives. I don't want to admit to myself that I have to leave in a week- its heartbreaking, and I don't want to go. Today is sunday, so we played a really intense game of ultimate, and then I went shopping and out to dinner in town.
I've learned so much here, about myself and about film. I see things differently, I talk a little differently, and my world is different, but all in a good way. I'm going to miss the people here so much.
Here's some lingo to leave you with until I post again:
This is a C47. Yes, it is what you think it is, but it's a C47 to me and the other film peeps.
Let me know how you all are doing!
