Guess it's been a while?
OK, So the last time i posted on this site was six months ago. So much has happened since then. But first, let me go into the reason's I've neglected this diary. Well, I shouldn't say reasons. There really is only one. School. This semester (spring of 07) have been the hardest semester I've ever had. Ever. At the end of last semester, maybe a few days after my last post in December, i had a meeting with the three key film professors involved with the project, Crystal, Mike, and Miguel. They had talked to us about not taking classes next semester that required us to make a film. I informed them i was going to try to take directing again, seeing as i had dropped it during the fall because of Madison Hall, and then I was taking Business Ethics, Cinematography, and Capstone II (Working on the feature). I was told that i would not have to make a film for any of these classes. Well, the syllabi's for the classes changed and i ended up making 2 more films last semester. One about Coupons, and the other about Child Rape in the movies. Great stuff. To top it all off at the beginning of the semester I agreed to First AD on this commercial for the school. Man did that take up a lot of time. Then I was the president of the AFA and we wanted to really kick it in to gear and get the AFA really out there in the school so we started a 48 hour film challenge and a retreat, as well as being involved with First Friday's down town and doing an art cafe event, and peer workshops, and screenings, etc. I was also a Senator in the Student Government, of which i ended up resigning from half way through the semester because i couldn't handle all these commitments. and the cherry on top would be the wedding plans, marriage prep classes required by the church, the Phx Film Festival, Going to LA for a weekend, and working in the lab 30 hours a week. I guess that's 5 cherry's but whatever. I had a busy busy busy semester. It was awful. Oh yeah, and the movie. So now it's may 17th, I'm sitting back at my old job at the MU for the summer because the lab closed. I'm working full time here and it's very slow. So what I'm going to do now is do a play back of what has happened in the last 5 months and get us caught up and I'll also finish blogging about the individual days of shooting. More to come.
