First Day of Production.
November 15 2007 marks the first day of production for my untitled movie.
yeaaah we got shot down, we got frustrated, we got bitchy, we got discouraged.
then, there were the good stuff, we got our shit down, we got our shit done, we got couraged again, we got the whole class to cooperate. nice.
there were literally, SIX people talking to me AT ONCE. really, that was the hardest part for me. I was trying to listen to febe, the Director of Photography [aka camera person], ask me about where to set up. i was trying to listen to rex, the sound dude, ask me about if i really need to sound, i was trying to listen to alixe, the actress/producer/editor, ask me about this new scene she's interested in. i was trying to listen to lemos, the teacher, ask me to listen to him talk about a new camera angle he had in mind. i was the actress/director and might i say, it was the worst decision i had ever made. if you want to be director, please, BE DIRECTOR AND STAY THAT WAY. it's hard to sit in front of the camera, trying to figure out what the hell I want to do while having six other people talk to me at the same time. And what's silly is that it feels really weird saying action and walking in frame right after i say action. haha...yeah. anyway, first day of production went great, despite all the craziness that went down. the shot lemos recommended we do came out perfect.
so i can cross out being a director and actress out of my list.
i don't look good on camera and i become a crazy beeeee-otch when i'm director.
i'll stick to producer and editor for now.
yay me.
monday or tuesday will mark the second day of production.
and maybe it will mark my day my sanity drives away from me.
