You kind of have to just close your eyes, cross your fingers, leap, and pray to God that you make it to the other side.

movie projects
The movie project last week was really interesting. I'm used to making movies in STAC that were really thought out, planned, and artistically detail oriented. The fact that this movie had to be made in one hour, in order, and without editing made it more about just getting the damn movie finished and made it less about trying to make a good movie. Doug mentioned this in class, and I completely agree: There was no time to be a perfectionist. You couldn't spend too much time rehearsing a scene to make it good or you would loose precious shooting time (which was much needed). My group ran into that problem a bit. We spent a lot of time rehearsing scenes 1-4, so that by the time we had to shoot the second half of the movie, we couldn't rehearse at all and each shot was the first time we had acted out that scene.

i agree with you on how there was no time to be a perfectionist. At some points, I wanted to retake scenes, but since we only had 45 minutes, I just had to deal with it, so I get what you're saying.
