I made my goal of getting home by 1AM. So far I haven't heard back from the Belly of the Whale post team, so I can only assume they were happy with that edit of the titles. I had to eventually re-do the end credits from scratch, because the timing wasn't syncing up on any of the blocks of text ( Read more... )

Not tired or exhausted, just a general drowsiness that's easily remedied by dancing to Cobra Starship in the editing suite. No one else is here yet ( Read more... )

It occurred to me this morning, as a truck slamming into me when I woke up, that these are the last few days of principle photography I will ever have to endure as a student. Ever ( Read more... )

And I didn't fail any classes last semester! Yaaay ( Read more... )

Here's what my day looks like, in all seriousness.

8:30 - 12:30: German National Cinema with Bruce Barber, a charming Kiwi who doesn't know how to work a PowerPoint presentation, and who frankly bores me despite his amiableness.

12:30 - 12:30: Shooting Joel McLeod's Ghostvase. I may not be needed all day, but that's call time and wrap time ( Read more... )

But I know that sooner or later I will have to break out the other half-pint of my Ben & Jerry's and get down to work on this essay. It's going to be more banter and speculation than actual research (even though I have 5 nice thick pretentious books here with me), but it's either I try and possibly fail or don't do the essay and definitely fail.

Nrargh.

Pulled an all-nighter. Stayed up for close to 30 hours until shooting started, got set finished. WOO.

Slept on the couch in the lounge from noon until 5. Woke up in time to dec a closet.

Feels like dreamland because I am groggy and dizzy from not sleeping/eating (since 2am).

MACARONIS FOR SUPPER.

Today was ridiculously domestic. I woke up late (or later than I had planned, anyway), got some groceries, and made a huge roast dinner. I can't seem to proportion things for two people, so I'm gonna have leftovers for the next few days. Made me feel better though. I've been kinda lonely the last little while ( Read more... )

So today was Greenlight Day. For those of you not on the up-and-up with your film lingo, to Greenlight is to give the go-ahead on a film project. There were 10 projects up for consideration (11 students, and Jeff was the only one who wasn't pitching a thesis idea) and 5 spots, each with $7500 in funding from William F. White's International and ( Read more... )

I posted a pretty complete outline of my thesis film on my film journal over at itchy_films. You should go check it out and tell me what you think.

Then you should friend it to read more hilarity as it comes (and Bandom script updates).
