updates

i have a feeling nobody reads this blog, but i'm going to keep posting anyway dammit.

sight & sound is progressing relatively smoothly. i just got my grade back from the rhythm project (A-, not bad) and tomorrow i'm meeting with steve to check in about my landscape project, which is due friday the 23rd. i'll be shooting my action project the weekend after fall break (the weekend of the 30th i guess) and i'm VERY well prepared for it because i actually thought this upcoming weekend was when we were supposed to shoot. i'm all storyboarded and have my location secured and everything, so hopefully that shoot will be very efficient and successful, considering all the pre-production work i've already put into it.

in unrelated news, musician/producer/local legend/boyfriend max horwich and i have been working on my first EP (under the name orca star), which will ideally be completed over fall break and released next month. the first track is almost finished and it sounds awesome (i can say that because max is responsible for a large percentage of the awesomeness).

anyway, i need to do some dombrowski reading. keep it real, cinephiles.

every day i'm bustlin'

...with TWO rolls this time, bitches. and some storyboarding.

editing has begun!

if you look closely at the second picture, you can see the shoes on the screen.

oh, nice box...i wonder what could be inside it...omg it's DEVELOPED FILM READY TO BE EDITED!! and the filmmaker's handbook. nice.

some photos from the shoot--fielder's project

and so it begins...

i actually have things about which to blog...when my time isn't being completely eaten up by the things about which i will later blog. confusing? perhaps. but i digress...

last weekend i shot my first sight & sound project, the first film of my own design and direction. to be honest, it was an intensely stressful experience, but all in all it turned out to be a very rewarding one.

i filmed a pair of totally cool shows from different angles, then filmed max's cute little birdlegs dancing around in them. some of the shots turned out darker than i would have liked (damn sun setting, who the hell does he think he is...), but most to all are totally usable. and i know that for a fact...the film has been developed and my dailies were screened in class today.

we can begin editing our projects immediately, and i'll probably work on it this weekend. we're all shooting our second projects the weekend of the 25th (not this weekend but the weekend after that). i'll keep you all updated.

in the meantime, PICTURES!!!
