P2 is coming along well, feeling a little rushed having intermediate audio projects to finish and a journal for film theory due but it'll be alright...i like working under pressure.

shooting

well, sally and i just got done shooting our little film. i'm about to start logging and capturing the footage to my hard-drive. and we'll be editing all this week. should be fun.

I finished editing Project #2 this morning. Im excited to show the class. I think its pretty good, I tried a different way of editing everything, by making a bunch of short cuts, instead of long boring shots. I hope it goes over well in class.

Remember things is AWESOME

Props to me for finally remembering to do this. Every single Tuesday as soon as I wake up I remember that I had to do this a day ago. It's an awesome feeling, let me tell ya.

ANYWAY, We start and stop filming today. Yay. Then we just have to edit it sometime soon and be on our merry way. I really like the concept for the video we are doing. I like things that are stylized and can still incorporate humor. I am really excited about our actors. We have the amazing Mr. Joey Martin, and the infectious Ms. Alli Miller. They are stellar improvisational talents that I cannot wait to work with directly. They both were in the webisode series (now posted at www.evenlyodd.net) and did great work there, so being able to direct them myself is going to be an awesome opportunity.

NO INTERNET!!!

THis may be the final blog of the smemster and i am pretty excited to be graduating from college as soon as i get all of my projects done. WE have finished shooting and are now getting ready to start editing and since it is only a 2:41 song it shouldn't be that bad since for the first time we actually storyboarded and have a set plan instead of using what we shot to make something. I pretty excited and i still have to write my final outside speaker paper but that won't take me that long. It is about to come to end.

semester coming to an end

we are wrapping up shooting our project and editing it and cant wait to watch them in class

Interview with Shabazz!

Yesterday Zach and I were able to interview Rashid Shabazz, the son of the other MOM co-founder, and it went great. We are doing an interview for our second project, of the success story of Shabazz, for MOM and I know they will love it. He had a lot to say about MOM and how he is where he is today, because of this program. He was involved from the time they began MOM and now has his doctors degree, working as a principal in Ohio. We will be finishing up the editing this week!

Project 2

Well this morning we are doing an Interview for MOM. It is success story of Shabaz (sp?) who was one of the first sons to go through the MOM experience. They really wanted to have this interview but through logistical problems the other group could not get it. So we asked MOM what else would they like see done and this is one of the projects they would like completed. To complete the piece we are going to integrate photos and hopefully so live action shots. We have to be done by Monday so Courtney and I will be editing this week.

P2

Ciara and I got some footage for project two over the weekend. We spent Sunday morning getting scenes of babies... one of the hardest subjects to work with. But it actually worked out pretty well. We'll start editing this week.

Almost Done

I am very excited about the direction project two is headed. I hope we have time to make this project as good as I think it can be, because it defiantly has potential for greatness, and I would hate to see that potential go up in smoke because we ran out of time. That being said, both of us seem to do our best work under pressure at the last minute, so the quick turn around time we have on this might be for the best.

matt and i got a lot of great footage last night. we are shooting a music video for midwest hype and we went and filmed their 2-hr live set at dill street. the shoot went really well and we had a great time hanging out with the band afterwards. we've been hanging out a lot with them lately to try to get a feel for their style and make sure each member's personality is brought to life in the video. i think we both have the same ideas about how we want them to be portrayed...

we logged and captured it all tonight and we definitely have plenty of footage. good footage, that is. i just can't wait to start editing it in after effects and making it much more aesthetically pleasing since it's pretty plain right now. tomorrow we are meeting with the band again to shoot the story we wrote about a police chase that's going to go down. think beastie boys' 'sabotage' style.

The wrap

Our group is done with everything pretty much..our day in the life with the kids looks great and the fundraiser video also is good. Our commercials I am not sure about actually casue Matt pretty much handled it on his own. He wanted to. Now its time to knock out project 2

Week 12

This week we finally got some filming done on our project.  We decided to do a music video for the song "Help" by The Beatles.  So, far everything seems to be going well and we should be ready and done by next Monday.  Hopefully we dont run into any major problems.

P2

well were ready to get ready for p2...i'm ready to hear about the mom project and what they think. tally ho

Project 2 Take 2

Project two is coming together. Jim and I are in the process of filming and editing and we should be ready to go for next week. I look forward to veiwing everyone's projects, and seeing how well they turn out.

shooting p2

This weekend Mike and I shot our PSAs for project 2, and it went pretty well. I think we got some good content and hope that it will turn into something special. We will be editing this week.

i see the light.

This week was more business than action. we are trying to get our actors back together and shoot the last little bit, but everyone has busy schedules. However the first party shot that we got and everyone involved was excited and had helpful ideas on how to make the video a little better. Whether these are used is still up in the air. However everything is still goin good and this week will be a busy one.
