Come What May...

Well, I put this title before tonight when we watched this film (Moulin Rouge) because it was a tad symbolic of how I've felt this week. But first, the epic randomness that occured while watching this film. 1) near the end a possum scrambled across the tin roof killing the mood temporarily. 2) My personal favourite was the huge moth that decided to fly up to the projector and it looked like a bird on screen. The best part was it was during Come What May when they were climbing the hill and the duke made the comment about a little frog. The moth flew at the projector and it's shadow was between Ewan and Nicole's heads so it looked like a bird was flying at us on screen. Too awesome.

Today was first test day. It mostly went ok until the end when I just wanted to be done and messed up, aka missed a major section. Oops. Other than that it went pretty well I think.

So I was having an "I can't do this, but I need to. I need to finish as best as I can." moment this week. Then I decided that come what may I will finish and finish to the best of my abilities. One thing I most certainly am is stubborn (that's the Dutch side, lol). I am determined and come hell or high water I will graduate. Rawr! Ha ha. It was a lot of reading and technical stuff this week. It was so hard, but a lot of the problems will smooth out with experience. Also I need to trust my gut with setting up and standing my ground if I think something is off. My gut was right a few times and I didn't listen (I was tired and just wanted to be done, this is bad for a potential director) and it turned out poorly. We're learning, so I keep telling myself. I discovered I love sound mixing and lighting, I figured I would since I've been dying to learn those properly. The practical experience is fantastic.

The script. Yeah, I can't figure out the problem still. I should just go edgy and weird. Maybe next time. Anyways, it is late and my bed is calling me. I think I've averaged 5 hours of sleep each night this week...and I don't care mostly. More later.
