Filmmaking

The bootcamp is going great! I’m now halfway through my week of horribly early mornings and not enough sleep and the end is thankfully in sight. Tuesday was spent filming, it took us from 10-5 of a hectic pace to get all the footage needed for our 4min film. I think we have some great shots, the team worked fantastically with everyone working really hard and playing duel roles and double checking all kinds of things like “What’s that in the background of that shot? That shouldn’t be there, I’ll go move it” or “Wait this shot is past number 53, she has to be wearing a hat in it”. Today is going to be a whole day of editing and putting it all together, then this evening is my second sculpture class which I’m sure will be amazing. I’ll either be falling asleep or hyped and wired by then. I’m very excited about the film, I wish it wasn’t rushed so much, it would have been even better to have three days to shoot it in, we had to keep rearranging shots because of the weather which made life interesting, and re taking shots from different angles as we were only shooting with one camera. We were able to borrow a macro lens, so I think we have some amazing close up pics where hopefully we’re not wobbling the camera too much! The film has to be ready for screening on Friday, so a lot more work is going into the editing and soundtrack today and on Friday. Just wish I’d had two more hours sleep!

I appreciate hearing from you
