Thus the night has finally come



This photo is my make-up practice for a friends film I was working on. I'm quite proud of my bruise.
I thought I was in the clear, since the weather here has been quite beautiful lately; I was wrong. It has now come to my attention that it just rains and is super depressing for the next three to four months.

I haven't really had time to think about it though. School has been super busy, with trying to figure out how to do productions in a country in which you don't understand the language and papers. Last weekend, I edited film on the table for the first time. You have to sit in a dark room and cut the film with this little stable looking thing. It was quite an experience, but sadly it will probably be the first and the last time, because we have reached the digital age.

Sometimes, I'm sorry to admit that I just can't watch movies anymore, it becomes such an overload. For example, I went to see the new Harry Potter the other day and instead of it being a just a relaxing experience, I was just thinking the entire time about cinematic imageing, Sometime it's just hard to turn it off. I am contemplating getting my own digital camera so that I can start to film whenever I want instead waiting for it, but I haven't decided what i want to do exactly.

Everybody is in production right now and it has been a lovely experience to watch everyone work. Hopefully, I can stay true to that productiveness. My shooting is two days starting at 5am one day and 6am another. So in other words I don't mind surviving on just coffee for a couple of days.

I watched some great movies the other day. First off if you want to see a really bad it's good horror Austrialian film The Loved Ones is the film to see. The music can be a bit distracting and the film drops a couple of plot points in the middle of the film, but in terms of just being absurd it is something to see.

The Saddest Music on Earth is another great one I watched for the first time. CULT CLASSIC.

Peter Ibbetson was made in 1935 and can you say very along the lines of inception. It wonderfully campy.

Today I went to a Czech place kindof like Office Depot and it was quite an experience. I was buying construction materials for my film. I went with my producer and I don't know about her, but I had a blast, trying to figure out the "look" i'm trying to create for my film. It is going to be a very "sterile" looking set.

Alright. Well.... I guess that's all from me at the moment. Listening to czech tapes, so to better myself... because it's quite embarrassing when I try to speak.
