I got this... oh, maybe not

Boy, oh boy, what comes easy? I get inspired to do stories pretty easily. The problem is, I don't think them out all the way. I get really excited about various things I can do with it and forget to think of an ending. Seriously, I have been having trouble with endings all semester. Another problem I have is I want to do neat stuff... but I don't always know how to get them done. They seem like really great things to do but probably not realistic in the amount of time I usually have. A plus is I pick up on how to do a lot of the things fairly quick though, once I figure out where/how they are done. 

But one of the biggest problems is getting started... bro my god does it take me a while to get going. Once I get started I get most of the exercises done in a day, no matter how long they take. I once shot for 13 hours straight. I hated it in the end but I got everything done. 

I think that sums it up... I feel like I forgot something though. 

That Empty Feeling

It's hard to say how I feel now that I am done with the scar film. I know what I have learned from it, that's for sure. The reception didn't seem bad exactly... I mean it wasn't praised or anything. It could have stood to have been longer but I was running out of time. Granted, now that I think about it I could have set it up a little differently. I would have made much bigger pieces, MUCH bigger. I thought they were sizable enough when I made them, but 8 hours later I was getting angry and just glued some of the pieces down. I now have a bit better of an understanding as to how I should move bits frame by frame. At first I thought I was moving the pieces too slow, so I changed up the pace. After uploading them I realized that I should have kept up what I was doing. I liked the few times I zoomed in, but I think I should have did that a little more. I had too many wide normal shots. I reaaaaalllllly should have followed my storyboards better. I cut out the story bits that you suggested but from there... well I don't know. Not following them as closely was just dumb on my part. And looking back Maybe I should have kept all of the story or at least trimmed a little less. I have some smoother ideas for my object film. I'm going to take some time over spring break to mess around with a camera I checked out. Poke and prod at the Super Nintendo and see about getting that going.
