Week 12-13

The last two weeks we've been trying to stay organized and get everything done in time. This past week we've been focusing on getting our animations finished as well as editing some more.  We're trying to get our edit more concise and have more of a narrative flow. Hannah especially has been working diligently on our edit.  Our animator has sent us two animations to include so far and we're expecting a couple more from him soon.  Our edit is getting closer to what we're hoping for our final cut.  We don't plan on shooting anymore footage because there's not enough time but we think it'll be solid enough once we add the animations. We're going to have a meeting soon to discuss our final steps of our project. Our film is getting closer to being finished and we're excited to see what it is like as the final cut.

Week 11

This past week we had another shooting day and filmed a selected group of people taking different shots (illegal and legal) of moonshine to get their reactions.  It went really well and we had a variety of different people with interesting reactions.  We set it up in the backyard of Hannah's house and just had our participants come at different times.  Our friends loved getting free shots of alcohol and we loved getting their reactions taking them.  It was sometimes surprising who could handle a strong shot of moonshine versus who couldn't!  Hannah took the footage and edited it together with our interview footage and were trying to figure out where to organize each part of the film to make it cohesive.  This week we also spoke more to our animator and discussed with him what we envision for our film and showed him examples of animations from other films that we like to give him more of an idea of what we want.  This week I won't be in class because I'll be on another set shooting a commercial.
