Catching up

Sorry the long gap in posts. Spring Break was a whirlwind of seeing as many people as I could.  This week is jammed to the brim.  I didn't even get to watch "The Office" last night. Usually thats how I unwind after a long day. (Thank God for Netflix!)  This weekend I am the cinematographer for my P2.  So I am planning those with their directors while working with my producer for my P2 that takes place the following week.  I am also building a dolly.  It is almost finished. I just have to tweak the trucks a little.  I plan on using it on Xu's P2 this weekend.

Sleep will be a luxury with all the shooting this weekend.  Thursday at midnight I will be seeing Sucker Punch. Then I grab as much sleep as I can before Kristin's shoot Friday morning.  I will be wrapping around 7pm and I start Xu's shoot immediatley after and we go to 1am.  Now my AMC work schedule isn't done yet but I may be working Saturday or Sunday there and then have Xu's shoot from 7pm-1am on both those days. And then school starts up 9am Monday like usual. Exciting!

My P2 is called Disharm0ny.com.  It is about a website that helps you find your worst enemy. Someone you will be bound to hate so you can fight them and take out your stress on them instead of your loved ones.

Finally today is Career Day at the cinema school. Over 40 different companies are coming today and we can talk to reps about jobs and internships.  I plan on talking to Pixar, Warner Animation, Disney, Sony and Lucasfilm.  I think with all these Pixar events I am going to I am bound to eventually get an internship or residency there.  Their camera staging artist position sounds like a dream come true.

My P1

Sorry about the downtime between posts. I was enjoying my Spring Break.  Anyway the good news is, while I may not have my editing assignment or my FoD scene that I have been promising for so long I DO have a cut of my P1 on a private Vimeo page.  Click the link below, password in angel.

Working on 3 projects at once

Sorry about the gap between posts recently.  I am currently trying to output my Directing project on DVD, edit my P1 and write my P2 all at the same time.  P2 is an interesting project.  The only thing we are required to do is write it and then we can have other crew members help with any or all other duties. We can also have dialogue this time.  I am again Group B so I get a chance to crew on Group A and C projects and have already been chosen to DP a film in Group A.  In other news I got to meet Lee Unkrich, Oscar winning director of Toy Story 3 at an event at USC.  There are a lot of other interesting events comng up and I will post more on that soon.
