Here or There...

Soooo I filmed something random yesterday and ended up deleting it all but it was so nice to just film something at all.  It's really hard to film yourself when you don't have a camera that has a flip screen or separate screen though.  I ended up thinking up (from a little inspiration) a short movie that wouldn't require much at all if I keep it simple and not try to complicate it which I tend to do with everything.  I ordered a steadicam yesterday that was pretty cheap considering how much they can cost. I need 5 people for the film.  Four of the parts are pretty minimal but the main character is in all of it.   I don't want to film myself or be in it or really any of my movies right now until I feel more comfortable with myself, but I don't really have anyone else that can be in it as much as I can.  So that is what is making me nervous about the whole project and that I am much better at getting the angles I want if I am not the one in the scene.  I am also trying to figure out some lighting details.  I am mainly going to use natural light as I do with photography but for certain inside shots, I need some type of warm light.  I have a lamp I can use that looks nice even in photos, but for some bathroom scenes, the light in there is not quite what I need.  I'm pretty excited nonetheless.  Even if this is an abomination, it will have been fun to make.

*Snaps Fingers

I turned 27 last month and then a week or two after that I was mistaken for being in Elementary school.  Just a fun fact.
