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!

The first few DVD’s of Beauty and the Beast were churned out on Tuesday. The DVD features an easy to use interface and a fancy menu intro along with high-quality footage and a cover designed by Grace Lemieux. Due to high-demand all the discs that were burned have already sold out. Once vacation is over the discs will start being produced in higher quantity. The sooner you order the sooner you’ll get your disc as we are handing them out on a first come-first serve basis. If you are one of the few who recieved a disc without a cover you can print the above image, cut it out, and there you are. To ensure a good fit in the jewel case resize the image to 5 x 5 inches.

Don’t forget! Other DVD’s of past years are still in stock and available!
Winter Carnvial ’09 – $5 (As showcased over the school network)

Cabaret ’07 – Practically free. Please buy them, we have too many.

Downfalls – Darned cheap. The One Act from…last year? year before that? I don’t recall. Anyway, you should buy one.

If there is a DVD that you would like that you don’t see here, please ask Ms. Shaw or Spencer Roberts. We should be able to burn you a copy.

I am almost done with my PSA, I need to fix he length quickly and then convert to quick time, the only thing stopping me is a couple of people who will stay unnamed who like to kidnap Stephen Speilberg…. cough…cough (Grace and Spencer). I will be done and it should be good.

The PSA has been completed. And it’s the best thing that I’ve ever worked on. Which isn’t saying much, but I still believe that Steve and I managed to do a relatively decent job with what we had.

This week I continued to work on the doc for The Putt Putt Syndrome. I discovered that we have at least until February to finish it so now I can stop stressing out as much. But it still needs to get done. It’s coming together… I want some fresh eyes (Shaw and Spencer) to look at it and give me some input because i want it to be good. I interviewed Evan and Spencer to get the student perspective… still have to interview Shaw, Grace, Lindsay, Alison, Dalton… possibly some others… so much footage that I don’t know what to do with… still trying to figure out the exact angle… good stuff.
