Day: January 8, 2010

I don’t know what to put the title, and I want one there… so I’m gonna just say Title. Anyway This week I had storyboard my PSA, and Commercial, and wrote a script for the PSA, I need to still get some facts but I have my actors and I plan on filming Monday, so that I can come up with facts this weekend, as well as get people and skiiers for my commerical. Which I would like to have filmed by wednesday.
This weekend I plan on having my music video storyboarded and sent to Shaw asap. I actually am gonna do that today while babysitting. I have about 3 songs in mind, but I need to get my thoughts in gear. I am also looking for someone who would like to do the soap opera with me, I have the script done, and I just need to film and edit it, as well as story board.. (I hate storyboarding) But I really need someone else who can do it with me, because it is too much work for me to be doing alone.
I need to do almost all my filming next week for most of my things, otherwise I probably will not get half my work done. I am rather behind.

This has got to be one of the most unsettling shorts I have watched in a long time. Just goes to show you don’t need a lot of time to tell a great story. Keep this in mind as you start to plan your final project.

Working this week has been rough because I’ve been SO sick! But I’m getting a lot done. Monday, Katherine, Ryan, and I finished our PSA. I’m not totally satisfied with it because we should’ve been better at finding facts BEFOREHAND. Still, it came out quite smoothly.

I’VE STARTED FILMING MY MUSIC VIDEO!!!!! My song is “You Are The One” by Shiny Toy Guns. Starring Grace Burnett and myself. I couldn’t find another guy in time for when I wanted to start shooting, so I’m the guy. But trust me, I’m being involved in setting up the shots as much as humanly possible. Katherine’s helping me film a lot which I appreciate. 🙂 Wednesday, I’m hoping to utilize the green screen – I want to change the background to white when I’m editing. I’ve split up my filming schedule into three major parts – the other day, we filmed one major sequence; Wednesday, we’re going to film all the singing parts on the green screen; then Thursday, we’re filming all the outdoor scenes. Hopefully I can get a jumpstart on editing in class TODAY so I won’t be totally stressing that Friday after filming is done.

Tomorrow, I’M GOING TO SEE AVATAR AGAIN IN IMAX! 😀

Oh, and I will have TVPs finished by Monday. 🙂

That’s all for now! I’m havin’ a blast, Shaw!
