Today was an exciting day! It was exciting because today I got the wonderful chance to finally direct my short movie. Overall, things went quite well.
The morning started with Krystal’s film (in which I was yet again an actor). It was a pretty smooth shoot and we got done right before the end of our shift, so that was a definite plus.
In the afternoon (after our really good lunch), we filmed my movie which was a great time. We started off very smooth, things were going great, we had all the time in the world, and things couldn’t be smoother (or better)!
Then, things started to shift a little. When we arrived at the second set, things started off well but we slowly began to get self-centered about our time (and how much of it we had left to shoot). As the time passed, we began to focus more on shots that we not as important, and less on the shots we really needed to obtain. In the end, it all worked out. There were a few flaws (like spilling Pepsi cans) that could have been prevented and would have made the shoot a little nicer, but welcome to the film industry. Stuff happens.
After my film, we packed our things and drove home. It’s been a pretty slow night around here. Not much action, pretty low and lifeless. A lot of people have been watching movies and taking power naps. Frankly, I don’t blame them! It’s intense and it’s only going to get more intense as the week continues through Friday.
As for now, I am VERY relieved that I had a successful shoot and was able to learn a lot about important film aspects!
SPECIAL NOTE:
