Big Project - Oy vey

Cassie, Alex, and I were discussing our big project today. We started this film five weeks ago and we're no where near being done and it's due on Monday. Every chance we had in STAC we worked on this film but I think we may have bit off more than we could chew. The dance aspect makes it so much more complicated. The film would have been about 20 minutes worth of dialogue and 10 minutes worth of dance. Although we had a few days each week to work on it, we didn't have complete full weeks because of STAC art and other workshops, and we weren't able to shoot on weekends because my weekends are booked. We didn't think about this when we got all excited about our project and completely ran off with it, expanding our ideas out more and more. Knowing that we aren't going to be able to pull this off felt like crap. I'm used to getting things done and finished. I felt like a failure knowing our original plan wasn't going to happen. But none of us wanted to have nothing to show for ourselves after all that work and choreography that we came up with. So we decided to take one of the main dance pieces and turn it into a music video. We already had 85% of the choreography for it, we finished the rest of it today in class. We're going to shoot it tomorrow and thursday and possibley friday if we can. Cassie can edit it over the weekend. We're really excited about this because even though it'll be tight, we think it's possible to get done. I'm nervous that something won't go the way we planned and it won't get finished but the next two days are going to be spent shooting our butts off. I'm going through the song and choreography again tonight and organizing what shots we need where and writing down the time in the music when things take place. Oh boy.
