last day

Last day of shooting, thank God. No, I had a fun time actually. I learned so much: how to be a better director, to plan for EVERYTHING, and how to treat my crew and actors.

We wrapped up late last night which isn't a surprise. Around 2 am. I was bringing lighting equipment downstairs. I set it down and saw Slate bringing stuff down too. I avoided looking at him and was going to head back up, but Slate started talking to me.

"So, last night of shooting here."
"Yeah," I smiled shyly.
"Are you working on any other productions?"
"Scooter and I are going to work on a super 8 film, but it's not ready yet." (More on that later!)
"Cool...yeah, we could use some help on our film..."
"Oh?" (I was giddy inside! He wants me to help on his film!)
"Yeah...I mean, you don't have to be script supervisor. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know..."
"Well, let me know." He said.

AAAHH!!! More films that need my help! AR. also needs help on his short film (20 min.), and he asked me to be his script supervisor. I'm slowly being pegged into this job, but I don't care, I want to work on films! So, I'll be working on Slate's film too if my schedule permits. YAY!

Oh yeah, there's this super 8mm contest that I want to enter, and I asked Scooter if he wants to help me. He's really interested in working with Super 8. I told him about the camera that I have, and he wants to make a mafia film with some scenes in super 8.

Also, I won a boom pole!!! It's the long fishing pole kind of thing that holds the mic. We all entered it in a drawing at Cinegear, and I won!!! Thank you God. Dad says I'm lucky. I also think it's a sign that Cinema is the path for me.

Woo-hoo! I get to work with cute, funny boys all the time and make art. Thank you God for making up for those 4 years of all-girl's high school.
