This week has been a little different, with Charis talking about Greenlighting, which means getting all preproduction ready. Script, paperwork, people, paperwork, and everything else that needs to be done before we can actually start on the movie. it's been good, but it means although we have less reading homework or editing/practical homework, we rewrite our scripts at least once a day until it's perfect, or as close as it could be. We went location scouting as well, which was sweet. I'm trying to avoid using a hospital, and Proby and a bunch of others gave me such outrageous ideas, i did a mock rewrite for fun and sent it to them. I'm also working on two extra scripts and that kid's book. I still draw, it's my own personal time.
This weekend we went to see the giver, and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended by me, even though it wasn't much like the book. The ones that went decided to try to put the word Quiche in our short stories, and convince the others to as well, so almost all of the SDF/SAS students tried to hide the word Quiche. At least one staff, possibly more, figured it out. Just the fact that we collaborated and created very differently on one key word, made it work and were inspired by eggs was awesome. What made it more awesome is the coincidence that that's what the kitchen cooked the day after we handed them in. I'm still not sure they weren't bribed.
For industry connect we Skyped one of the speakers from the first week, but with a twist. Last time, His connection was super bad, and so as he was saying he hoped it would work this time, it cut out. One of our staff started playing with it as we roared with laughter of what we thought was irony, and then our speaker came in from the back door! We as students were totally not expecting out staff and speakers to pull that, so it was perfect! Poor guy got bombarded with questions though. Maybe thats not all a bad thing though.
I've been pretty busy, but learning all this stuff has been good. I can't believe it's been a month!
God's been teaching me a lot about loving hurting people, as well as relying on him for strength. Another really important thing is to spend time with him. Yeah, my schedule is crazy, but if I can make time for coffee, I can make time for God. He keeps me going even more so than caffiene ;)
No, honestly. God is the only reason I can keep going. there are days I'm just done and he finds a way to encourage me.
Thank you guys so much for your prayers! I will still need finances for some things, and I need clarity for what's next, but right now, I'm here, and I'm in God's hands and his will. I will revel in it and learn and be strong. That's what I'm good at. ;)
