Went to uni to capture all the footage from the docu shoot last weekend. Forgot the tapes at home, had to get them again. D’OH! Because of this, we were so late to start that we hardly got anything done. We were going to bring interviews home over weekend to transcribe, but didn’t get diddly-squat. [...]
This blog is turning out to be a lot more personal than I anticipated, though I suppose I should have expected it, considering the purpose of this “project”. Not that anyone is actually reading, but if you are and you’d rather not read stuff when I’m being personal, just ignore the posts that are marked [...]
Didn’t write yesterday. Plain forgot. Too busy feeling sorry for myself. Had class at uni which went fairly well. I was feeling better about things, but was also sweaty and stinky. When I got home, I decided I wasn’t up for drama. I had a shower and was going to play Dead Space, but realised [...]
Day started well enough as we looked out our window to see the season’s first frost-laden grass. I took a picture of it, look! Marit helped me to carry the equipment back to university, me taking the heavy stuff, obviously. Once wegot to uni, she went off to get Dragon Age and I stayed behind. [...]
What can I say, really? The day went off without too much trouble, technically. I even managed to sneakily get some footage at Waitrose of Ramona shopping, though it was all pretty shaky and close-up since we didn’t have permission and I had to film as candidly as possible. Most of the time, it was [...]
Started the day off by watching four episodes of Armstrong and Miller while prepping the equipment for the shoot. Everything seemed to work, which means that everything was bound to go wrong during the shoot. Amazingly, very little did. Chris was there waiting for us as we came in to film at the library, and [...]
What a time to start writing a daily journal… I really do feel for those of you who actually read this. As you know, I’m doing it mainly for myself, but my hope is that possibly someone else will find inspiring in some way at some point. Probably you just find it exhausting, though. And [...]
I was just thinking about how little I’d done, then I remembered that the lecture was today, not yesterday, so I must have done a fair amount. It’s weird when you have those days that just seem to go on and on. I had to add a few items to my To Do list, which [...]
After procrastinating and then writing my previous post, I went to do some editing on the sound project we have at university. I didn’t actually end up doing any real editing, just organising the project to make the process easier for me later on. The project is to rebuild all the sound in a scene [...]
I’ve spent this morning procrastinating and reading Jordan Mechner’s old journal from the mid-eighties through to the early nineties. Mechner is the creator of the original Prince of Persia game and also the writer of the newer games and the film coming out with Jake Gyllenhaal. His journal was incredibly inspiring and captivating, taking me [...]
