Another look

I've decided to name the short film project "No Joke".

I've started editing it a couple of weeks ago, and I think I'm about half way there. I'm trying out a lot of new things with this project-- finding a different approach to the storytelling, and using newfound tricks on Adobe Premiere. This project is definitely becoming a newer experience as I continue to work on it.


As great as exploring this new experience is, I find myself having the toughest time trying to tell this story. And I think I've realized why.

During the final days of shooting, and past week of editing this project, I've gradually come to realize that I don't want to involve myself in these kind of stories again. Not to say that this type of genre doesn't interest me-- it very much does. Making "No Joke" helped me better understand what type of stories I would prefer to tell over others.

Like I've always said, making this project was an experience I wanted (and needed) to look into. I wanted to see how far I could put myself into one extreme direction. And through that experience, I've gained a new perspective in filmmaking.
