Lights, Camera, Action! :)

Well, last Saturday I was involved in a senior's cinema project. Each
senior has to make some sort of movie (whether it is a documentary,
drama, comedy, etc.) that runs about 5-15 min., as their final project.
The senior I was helping was making a film about a deacon who wants the
pastor to resign. Come to find out, this production is the largest
senior production in the history of Unusual Films. It was pretty awesome
seeing them set up everything and being able to be a part of it. One of
the main characters was Dr. Panosian. And another one, I found out
later, was in my mom and dad's wedding. I got to fill in as an extra in
the congregation, which consisted of about ten other fellow cinema
majors and like three older people. I think I'd have to say that
climbing up on top of a van in pants and taping black stuff onto windows
so that the light wouldn't get in was like the highlight of my day. We
had the clap board, the big lights, a professional camera, and
everything. It's amazing that you take at least twenty minutes, if not
more, to set up in order to tape thirty seconds of a scene. Oh, and just
to let you all know, today marks the middle of the semester. We are
officially half-way through!!! It won't be long till CHRISTMAS!!!:) See
ya then!
