HI BLAWG! I'm back and alive again after spring break :D Just as you recall, it was a great one!! I personally got a whole ton of work done both with this project and C3 Global among many other things!
And now I have some updates!
Lemme spew them out real quick before I dive into our first few prod days!
For this short lil sesh, I'm gonna enter serious emi mode, because genuinely the feelings I've had these past couple days have been quite strong, and I am now gonna let it out:
Over spring break, I designed costumes, bought them, came up with a name for the film, started the social media page, made 3 posts, 2 more blog posts annnddd that's all I could have done! Cause by the end of spring break we didn't have a final script yet! Why storyboard with no script?? I made sure to message my group every other if not every single day about this project so nothing can be forgotten, especially looking out for the script that still had yet to be sent.
now it's the week after spring break
and i really wish we got at least some filming done last week

last media class we had graded group meetings with tstok to discuss progress with our project and after it, the three of us knew that we had to step up our game. Since I rely on my team a lot and make that very obvious with the messages I send very frequently to the group chat, I was quite glad this group meeting happened, even if we didn't feel too pleasant after it. I love wake up calls. Mine sent constantly in the group chat were at a normal volume, but Tstok's was LOUD.
look, I love my group, they are my friends, but I HATE procrastination. And I am no saint! I have been a victim of procrastination many more than twice in my life, but when the project is high stakes? When it takes up a huge portion of your grade? When it's something that I'm gonna put my name on and have other people watch, anticipating something amazing? THAT'S WHEN I GET ON LOCK!! Before the graded meeting, I was already kind of worried, especially for my team, and after our meeting with Tstok, I really began to WORRY. What if we won't get this film done in time? What if we end up with something we're not proud of?? What if it sucks??? What if? What if? WHAT IF. My brain became an intrusive, living whirlwind, and for a moment, I genuinely doubted what we were doing.
but y'all know

MY MIDDLE NAME IS PERSERVERANCE
I AM. PERSERVERANCE.
100000 EMI'S VS BIG FILM PROJECT WHO WINS
THE 100000 EMI'S.!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!!! AGERHRHAEGRHAHHAAHAHHAHAHA
I do not CARE how much I have to suffer, if I have to stay up till ass o'clock I WILL, if I have to dedicate all my energy to this project I MUST, if I want our film to end up being KICKASS, I will ENSURE THAT IT WILL END UP KICKASS. IT WILL BE AWESOME. THROUGH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, WE WILL PREVAIL!!!
Even though there have been a fair share of obstacles along the way of this project, I know myself and my friends, and I know damn freaking well that with enough hard work, passion, and drive, we will be able to get this done okay :]] I'm not as worried anymore now that we have 2 days of filming down, and feel a bit better that some other groups in my class are in the same exact boat. This project is hard everybody, this is definitely not something I'm not completely used to as I've never made a short film in my entire life. But through anything I succeed :D We succeed :DD!
Now with all of the past week's business out of the way, LET'S GET INTO THINGS!
PROGRESS MUST BE DOCUMENTED FOR YOU ENGLISH LADS!
OTTO KANE FROM KENTUCKY: FILMING DAY 1
So since we couldn't get any film done over spring break, we decided on locking in the SECOND we got back. We decided on pulling up Tuesday to film since the script was supposed to be completed by that day and we were all available :] We got sent the one of the final draft's of the script at about 4:45 and finally had a stable foundation to work off of. Joaquin added an extra scene with the priest character which I thought was pretty funny, but one thing that really stood out to me where all the fucks flying around which is something that I suppose you Cambridge folk are not too crazy about, so I asked Joaquin if we can make some changes with that and they said sure :D On Tuesday though we only really focused on the opening portion of our short film which included no dialogue so it was pretty nice and breezy!
