I would just like to reflect on my experiences with the class so far. The music video assignment for example, was one that I was very apprehensive about. I'd never directed anything before save a project in 201, so this was something I was a little anxious about. All the planning and whatnot, and the super 8 camera made me long for being able to shoot and see what I've done. But, it turned out we had a lot of fun, and hopefully we will have good footage to look over and edit here soon! This class has challenged me to think about some things differently, and I've went from wanting to be able to look over what I've done through digital technology, to becoming not as skeptical about film. It is what people worked with for the majority of the time that cinema has been around.
The filmmaking presentations have been another thing that's been quite interesting. Just seeing the diverse backgrounds of different filmmakers I probably wouldn't have heard of otherwise has been rewarding and a great thing to learn about. Not all of them were particularly appealing, but seeing what people can do with a little money and a lot of imagination is inspiring no matter what kind of film you want to make.
Lastly, at Cucalorus this week I'd really like to go see The Sacrament, Willow Creek, and Bringing it Home. Hopefully we can get a group together and see even more if I'm not too busy at work this weekend!
