I have been meaning to update, but have been so busy lately. I will start with the weekend - Saturday Dave had his friends from home that go here come over. It was a cool beginning to the eve. Dave's "girl" came over too, and had her best friend from home come with her too. Yadda yadda yadda, I have a fantastic weekend. I was in a good mood the whole week too. My screenwriting class is doing ALL this TWILIGHT ZONE stuff, thank you Rod Serling. Cineprod is throwing us into the 16mm realm. Spring semester? I win.
Today I started to shoot my first film. Loading a real camera, and shooting with lights, and taking all these measurements. I am in heaven. Today the videographer emerges from his cocoon as a film-maker, appropriate for the date eh? It took me 19 years to get to where I am. I wouldn't have had it any other way. The film is a two minute b/w silent film. A girl hears a knock at the door of her room, but no one is there. She hears another knock and finds that someone is going down the stairwell. She follows and eventually catches up. Upon grabbing the girl's shoulder, the narrator sees that is her, but pregnant. The final shot is the narrator crying alone by herself. Sad, Dramatic, But damn effective. Well, i'll be the judge of that after I get my grade.
