Movies!!

I am almost officially done with my first week of film school, and I have to say, I am in full-on film school mode. I feel like I've been here so much longer than just one week! 

I love my class and I love the professors, and I love learning all of these crazy things that I've never thought about before.

So far, I think lighting may be the most difficult thing I'll have to do. There's all this math that goes into figuring out where you're going to place the lights and how. But I'm gonna feel so awesome if/when I finally start to understand it.

One of the things I like best about film school (other than the awesome classes, of course) is that I can talk to people about movies. Today, I talked to some people at lunch about movies for, like, 2 hours. Unbelievable.

Speaking of movies, there's a comedy about phone-sex operators coming out called, For a Good Time Call, which was written and produced by some FSU alumni. One, who also stars in the film, happens to be Seth Rogan's wife! Crazy.

I had an editing class today, and we watched the same documentary I watched in Intro to Film with Professor Haltof, like, 4 years ago. So that was nice. It's a great documentary! Also, I love editing. It's so incredibly much fun. And it occurred to me today that for our D1 films, we get to edit something that someone else directed. I've never edited someone else's work before, so I'm pretty pumped for that. It should be pretty exciting. Also, terrifying. But exciting, I'm sure.

  3. I was thinking about you learning about what qualifies a stunt driver. And when you need one you'll know where to look. ;)
