Production Blog: Change of Plans

  Hey there, blog! Today there was a minor change of plans with the schedule. Originally, the filming process was supposed to begin today. However, I'm not going to be able to make it to the filming location. Today, is a Thursday which means almost everyone I know is busy. People are either busy with work, homework, sport practices, etc. Since everyone is busy, I am not able to make it to the destined location for the filming of the opening sequence. Also, I have to work on an essay that is due for one of my classes tomorrow. Even if I had a ride I would still not be able to make it due to my assignment that is time consuming. The delay in the schedule does not worry me because of all the time that is left for the opening sequence. In the schedule, my group mates and I changed the filming for February 18, which is in three days. I have all of the rest of the February to film and the first few weeks of March. If I begin on the 18th, there is still plenty of time left for the rest of...

Filming Blog: Beginning the Process

  Hey bloggers, welcome back. Today, I was finally able to begin the process of the final task. I filmed scenes 1 and of the opening sequence. I was not able to film a lot because I had to go out to my friends birthday dinner. However, I'm glad that I was able to start filming. I have about a month left to film, but I decided to start today because I didn't want to leave everything for last minute. If I leave everything for last minute, I will be highly stressed. So, why would I want to put stress on myself if I have the ability to start filming right now. I was a little behind schedule. Originally, on my schedule filming was supposed to begin on February 15, which was three days ago, but there was a few setbacks. Since it was a Thursday, I was not able to find a ride to the house of my groupmate because everyone was busy with work or other things. My groupmate also lives a little far from me, so that just made getting transportation even more hard. Since today is a Sunday, way...
