We have just started production on a short film about a girl overcoming fear and auditioning for a play. The girls emotions are symbolized through a kite flying through the air; it’s a very fanciful story. I am running camera, which is something that I have normally kept away from, one because I don’t normally like running camera, and two because there’s lots of things that you need to remember to do (like focusing). But this time I am really enjoying it, since there is a lot less responsibility and a lot less stress. I don’t need to know when different scenes are being shot or how they relate to the story as a whole. I just need to listen to what the Director of Photography tells me and I’m good. I don’t think I have ever been this relaxed on set.
I am also just finishing up running lights for a community theatre production of “Fiddler on the Roof”; which has not been as relaxing as filming nowis. I’m not used to the way this theatre works, and so I’m trying to fit my routine in and it doesn’t fit well, so I’m almost having to learn how to do it all over again, which is not fun.
But I have managed to have fun, I have gone back up to Cedar Creek several times to hike and swim. It makes me wish I had a car so I take people up every weekend because it is so amazing. Pictures are here
Also my visa is expiring in less than a week, but since I have an application for another visa in already I won’t have to leave the country, which is nice, even if it pretty much is limbo.
