I am a piece of cardboard. I absorb water, but little by little. If you pour too much water on me, it puddles on the top of me and will soon fill my pores. Until it does, it sits there. If there is too much water, it drips through.
This week has been like a bucket of water thrown on me.
It's refreshing, but a lot.
Today was my day of realization. It rained thanks to El Niño and this caused me to be slightly emo about the whole week and things that have happened in the past month.
It just hit me today that I moved across the country, started film school, had a family member pass away, have no loan money (as of yet. F the BofA), and I'm not used to this lifestyle yet.
I haven't cried. I haven't really felt like that... it's just the sense of being overwhelmed and a complete change. I love it here and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm trying to let my control freak mind know that I can't control jack right now--ride the wave.
Well, on a more cheerful note I want to tell you that in film you never want zebras on your actor's face.
It causes problems...
Awkward shots...
Makes their faces disappear and they won't be happy...
This is something I learned this week. It actually not REAL zebras. That's silly. It's when your actor's face disappears because there is too much light, or the light is too hot, on their face.
The "zebras" are the stripes that appear on the LCD screen on the camera. On set, "Zebras" should always be turned on.
Aren't all of these double entendres great?! I just keep thinking of cartoon zebras and zebra stickers. God I love my craft.
This past weekend we went out in downtown L.A. I got to party right next to Angel's Flight (aka the park where Tom and Summer go in (500) Days of Summer go to sit on benches and play the "penis" game). We also went to the bar where they sing karaoke in that flick. Let's just say I was PUMPED! The only disappointment was that it's not actually a karaoke bar-- much to about 90% of our crowd's dismay. There was a band though and it was fun.
Well I have to get going now... work to be done... classes again tomorrow-- OH and I'm directing our first in-class project-- AWESOME!!!
Hope everyone is doing well-- please feel free to leave me how you're doing in the comments... I'd like to hear from everyone...
"PENIS!" (Sorry Grandma---it's in the movie.)
