Phone Nightmare

So last friday I was at Sea Turtle Cinema's with my friend Courtney. We were going to see the Movie Definatly, Maybe at the cinema after enjoying a cheeseburger at Cheeburger Cheeburger. So after we ate we went upstairs to the cookie store. When we left the cookie store it was raining pretty hard and we had to walk down the stairs. We were kind of rushing to get out of the rain so knowing how clumsy I am I slipped and fell down like 5 stairs. And OWW.

But yeah thats not the worst part...I look at my phone that was in my back pocket and it was broken! That is the second phone that I have cracked the crystal in. GRRRRR....

So now my phone is cracked and I can't see the screen. And I am down like $300. Phones Suck. They need to be less breakable.

Flex Mad Cobra

So tonight I helped work on a senior thesis film called Flex Mad Cobra. When I got to the set I was suprised at how few people were there. The only two sets I have worked on have had a minimum of 25 at all times. I drive up and saw 5 people. 5! And ya know what. It actually moved faster and was a lot more fun than the huge people shoots. It was a pretty interesting experience all together. I can't wait for the senior film night where they show all the films in a showcase. I have worked on 3 this quarter and then a commercial.

I don't get the title though. It's hard to remember actually. I always wanna switch the words around. Oh well.

My filming of my groups project is next weekend. I am so anxious and at the same time so excited. I am more looking forward to getting to edit it in post production. I will have the help of another guy in my class, Zack, so it shouldn't be too bad. We can make it look pretty good i'm sure. Okay so this post isn't so interesting so I will stop talking now. Enjoy a picture of the cookie monster in the mean time.

Free Pancake Day

So today was free pancake day at ihop. My roommate Julie and our neighbor Courtney went there and got pancakes. They say they are free but they really make you donate money to some charity. Oh well. The pancakes were good. Of course I went there and wanted an omelette so I got one of those. I feel like a fat cow. Although technically cows aren't fat. They're just cows. So yeah....

And on the film front, today we went and saw the locations we would be filming our next short film in. We are using the St. John's Cathedral in Savannah, GA. A house of a SCAD student....and Forsyth Park I think. It should be interesting. Lets hope all goes well. Shooting begins the 22nd

Actors

Actors for student films are soooooooo hard to find. It's easy making a film around college aged students because then all your friends want to volunteer and be in a movie. But god forbid you try and make a film about adults. They are sooooo much harder to work with. Especially since they could all be my parents. It's just awkward bossing them around and calling them. I know I need to get over this and learn to work with them. But its weird! I just got out of high school where I couldn't boss anyone around. Now i'm suddenly in college and i'm supposed to be bossing people around that are like 45 and 50??? Thats why I wanna be an editor...not have to work with actors that either think they are too good for your movie, or they just don't understand the movie so they do a half ass job. Go film school. Teaching me how to disregard everything that society had taught me about my elders and seniority. Woot woot.

And to cheer me up from my woe is me spew I have included a picture of an actress I actually wouldn't mind working with and bossing around, ha.



Who wouldn't wanna work with Jodie though? She's a freaking goddess when it comes to film.

Wii

So today I went home to Tennessee. Turns out while I was gone my mother decided to get a Wii. When I got here...I started to play guitar hero. I played that for like 3 hours straight. Then took a break. Then played it some more. Its so addictive. But the great thing is that after I was done my mother comes in and wants to play tennis on it. So we spend an hour playing tennis, bowling, baseball, you name is on Wii. It really is bringing a new meaning to family game night. Its so fun to see your parents attempt to play Wii.

Charlotte

So i'm at the airport now and the flight's late. Of course it's late. It knew that I woke up at 7 am after like 4 and a half hours of sleep to get on the flight. Airports suck. Hopefully I won't be too delayed. It arrived a couple minutes after we were supposed to actually be boarding it. Now the airport people are talking behind me about all this special secret airplane stuff. I feel like I am headed to my doom. Airplanes scare me. Gah. Let's hope I get home okay.

PetSmart? Pet ABUSE!

So tonight my roomie was feeling down so after class we went to the petstore to look at the animals cause she likes them and all. We got there and I found the kittens for adoption. I went into their cage area and wow! It smelled sooooooo bad. I think PetSmart abuses their kittens. They keep them behind glass where no one can smell them. Then when you go in to look at them you smell their crap and you feel so bad for them that you just want to adopt them. How cruel are they that they cannot take 2 minutes to give them fresh litter and keep it air conditioned behind the glass. We ended up supporting them though by buying a hamster. Damn their cuteness.

Painting...

So I am working on this color theory project right now where I have to paint. Why does a film student need to paint? I can't understand this. Why must we know how to mix colors to see what colors you can get. I don't care if when you mix blue and green you get a tealish color. How is that relavant to my course of study??? Oh well.

Hockey or meeting...

So I have a film meeting tonight to discuss the script of our newest film and all that jazz....but its the same night as the Carolina and Nashville hockey game!!! I've been looking forward to this game for awhile. So should I skip the meeting and watch hockey? Leave the meeting early? Or what??? Tivo is not an option, ha.
