this blog has been deserted for some time now.

i noticed that i haven't followed up with any updates for my involvement in the "sink" production... oops.

well, pre-production went fairly well for "sink." there was definitely a lot of logistics to cover for this 35mm shoot.

i was given another role for this project-- i got to work as the second AC... very exciting! my job was to pretty much work closely with our first AC, and cinematographer. i responsibilities were to clean and provide the lenses, handle the slate clapper, and haul a whole bunch of equipment. not to mention safeguarding the arriflex camera at all times.

we began shooting last saturday, at 7am, and finished production around 11:30pm on that same day. it was roughly a 17 hour shoot. having had no experience with working professionally on a 35mm project before, this was quite a learning experience for me haha.

it got very difficult to work as the second AC, and location manager at the same time. helping out the the rest of the crew while sticking close to the arriflex got frustrating at times. but i guess that just made things a whole lot more interesting for me during the shoot! there was a tremendous amount of effort put in by everyone on the team. miraculously, we had little to no complications with following our shooting schedule. i believe it's pretty common to run into some delays on this type of production-- but we powered through in time.

oh, and it was very exhausting... fun, but exhausting.

anyways, i don't think i have much more time to talk about anything else in detail right now. during this past month, i've basically settled into my new apartment, and began my fall semester at academy of art. i'm pretty thrilled about my third semester here...

for some odd reason, i was going through a very uneasy time during the summer-- and a lot of it had to do with my doubts concerning my stay at AAU. but i'm feeling very content right now...
