Unfortunatly my film about red is on hold as were focusing on class with our respective contracted works, in my case sitting through 7 dv tapes worth of a guy sitting at the back of school classrooms just pressing record.
-that is till he gets into his head he's spielberg reshooting the beach scene from saving private ryan and going all mental with the camera, zooming in and out for sod all reason, weaving through the classroom (whilst pointing it at the floor), and, swear to god, filming one kid pick his nose and another sloooowly, reach down his pants, bite his lower lip and widen his eyes.
Now what that child may have been doing ill leave it up to your filthy minds to create a scenario but still, whilst ive only filmed 4 shorts this year, which ill get to in a minute, this is the only time ive seen someone elses work and just gone "pfft, amatuer". and dont get me wrong, not in an arogant way, it was just SO bad. ive somehow got to get this 7 hours of crap into 20 minutes of fried gold to be distributed nation friggin' wide as a training video for new teachers.
not too much pressure then.
and what gets it worse is im given pages and pages of "1:23 - class does note taking, 3:14 practical work" ect. ect.
I read this, looked at the tapes, then looked at the prof and asked "ugh.... till what?", and he goes "till what, what?", and i explained how theyd somehow given me a list of start times on paper with no end, just points of interest, thats worse than giving me free reign and no direction at all. if they had the time to sit through 7 hours of footage then you would think that they would have the common sense, if they should be planning a key stratagem of portions of film to edit, that they would add times to start and stop.
But no, just points of interest, at least thats all i can think they are, no explanation was given, just a page with times and titles on.
I got through an hour an a half, or one tape, for them alst wednesday, but now were done till the spring term in the 2nd week of january, which gives me time to work on my red project, now titled "Epilogue", but still, a foot in the door it may be but id rather do a wedding video than this. at least they would give you an idea of what they want.
and somehow i have to liase with this "cameraman" and i use the term very, VERY, loosely adn the 4 secondary schools im contracted to do this for on what they want doing.
no. they didnt have the good sense to tell me what they wanted before they let me chop up there big brother wannabe crap in...i dunno im either using adobe premier pro or avid to do this im not quite sure.
oh well, you dont get a started in the industry right off the bat with a directorail feature..... well unless your kvein smith or gary ugarek i suppose, but the point is i guess i gotta work with these guys to have something to add to a film makers cv, but still, id rather give ideas for game adaptions to uwe boll than do this.
you heard me.
