We're Getting There!

Slowly but surely, if you keep chugging at it, and work in small sections, you'll get there! This week I had to continue out my blocking pass for Jules, and then start converting him into spline. Spline is always such a daunting process, it can be extremely discouraging and really make you feel like you've spent all of these endless hours and gotten no where. I decided to go at my shot one chunk at a time, and really refine everything. It definitely helps, and makes you actually feel like you got somewhere. This is what I've got so far!

Lip Sync Blocking

I started blocking out my lip sync for this assignment! Jules is working behind the counter at a tanning salon. This is what I turned in so far!

NesCafe Commercial

We submitted to another commercial contest again! This time it's for NesCafe Coffee. It was quite the experience! For the first video, the basic premise was to pass it forward. Ashley Jane from http://www.artsyash.com/ and I were passing out coffee to people walking by us at Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando. On the first cup that we handed out, we wrote inspiring words to make peoples mornings better on it. Every person that took a coffee, had to write something nice on another cup, for the next person! It was so nice spreading joy, and so many people were affected by the kind words from others!

Our next video was about inspiring young people to make a change in the world. For this video, we started out at with Rebecca Hodges from https://www.facebook.com/Rebecca-Hodges-Hodges-Film-365776613435485/, and she wakes up, has a cup of coffee, and then decides to take on the day, and do something amazing! She then goes on to cook pancakes. And I mean a ton of pancakes. It's pancake after pancake after pancake. Once the container is full, she drives off to downtown Orlando, and hands them out to people around town who aren't as fortunate to have daily meals. It was pretty fun to work on this shoot. We definitely ghetto rigged the car up. Since we didn't have any sliders or steadicams, I drove the car while Ashley Jane sat on the trunk, and filmed Rebecca walking by. My first ghetto rig experience! This shoot was such a satisfying shoot to work on. Everyone was so grateful and sweet for the pancakes. It definitely changes your view on helping out the less fortunate that's for sure! It was so amazing hearing everyones stories too, and what they used to do, and how they got to where they were today. 

Finished Shot!

For the past 2 weeks, I've been working on splining out and polishing my bellhop shot. Here's what it looks like so far since I turned it in! There's a big difference between the blocking story ideas, and what it inevitably came down to.
