So we had our last day of filming on Friday night. It went well, and I’m excited to be done. Now onto editing. I think our movie will be lacking a bit in the visual/production areas, but I’m happy with the material and most of the performances (I really hate watching myself, which is a bad trait to have as an actor). Hopefully the humor will outshine the amateur look of the film due to lack of equipment, people and budget.
I read about how to get some great lighting for very little money. Unfortunately, this was a few days after we had finished shooting. More and more, I’m wondering if writing is really what I should do, mores than acting. Then again, feedback on my screenplay has been almost non-existent, which naturally makes me paranoid as I think that everyone just wants to avoid the subject so they don’t have to lie or else tell me how much they think it sucks, even though I genuinely want honest opinions. Oh well, I like it, and I’m really the only person who really has to live with it. I already have ideas for some more projects to film. Hopefully you’ll see some video content appearing on my website as I complete projects!

I would like to assure you that the lack of feedback from me has everything to do with my inability to read and nothing to do with your ability to write.
Lack of feedback from me is due to my computer breaking down. When Laurie gets it back to me, I’ll have the access information and the computer on which to read it.
The little I did read seemed to work well.
Time for my close-up
I must be rusty at acting, because I swear it used to come so easily. Well, performing did, at any rate. I’m not convinced I’ve ever been good at acting, just at ease with it. See, you may have heard…
