Breaking News and Tuesday Update

The first weekend we were out in Hollywood we had the opportunity to travel to Universal Studios and visit the outdoor sets of many popular movies and televison shows. In particular, the hit ABC show “Desperate Housewives”. A lot of us were excited just to get the opportunity to walk around the outside neighborhood set of the show, but today we received some exciting news.

On Sunday, we will be traveling BACK to Universal Studios to get a complete studio tour of the Desperate Housewives outdoor AND indoor sets. If we get lucky, we may even get the opportunity to see a few other sets in the area, but either way, it should be a good time! Richard said there’s even a good chance that we will see some shooting taking place, too!

Anyways, besides that exciting news, we had an interesting day of shooting.

This morning was Josh’s shoot and it seemed to go pretty smooth. He took control of most of it himself, which was a new approach that hadn’t been used yet, but I can’t complain because he got the shoot done – early, in fact. In his movie I was one of the two lead roles! That was fun.

This afternoon was Jadon’s shoot. We’ve been talking with Jadon from the beginning about his movie idea and how it is very fuzzy and would be difficult to shoot. Today, the things we had been predicting for so long finally came true. Jadon’s shoot was a failure. We got all the shots, but it took to the very last minute. I give mad props to Krystal (Jadon’s Assistant Director) for keeping him on time (or trying to, at least) because she definitely had a run for her money and did an excellent job. I was one of the lead actors in this movie as well and it was definitely an experience.

Tomorrow I will be shooting my film in the afternoon. I’m glad I waited to sign up for mid-week so that I could watch how things worked out today and yesterday. A few of the teachers and the TA (“technical advisor”, a girl that goes to the college named Mary) said that my shoot will probably run smoothest and turn out to be very successful. Hopefully I live up to the expectations!

I'll be updating again soon with some pictures so keep watching!!! Wish me luck on my movie tomorrow!!
