Birthday!

Today is my birthday, going to Ocean City all day to relax and hang at the beach! Going to be a fun and relaxing day!

Random Movie Fact: In the 1981 film The Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell twisted his ankle on a root while running down a steep hill, and Sam Raimi and Robert G. Tapert decided to tease him by poking his injury with sticks, thus causing Campbell to have an obvious limp in some scenes.

Stress Coming

Well the music video is either totally off or just plain postponed for a while. Client was trying to get me to switch the whole direction of the video last second and also just plain trying to get me put in a risky situation. Without insurance and all that, I just didn't feel comfortable all around. I was talking to his upper management today so hopefully they can chat with him and straighten things all out but for right now things aren't looking too chipper. More work coming up soon though so there is plenty of time to make good content this month. Let us not make this a wasted day!

Random Movie Fact: In the 2006 film The Science of Sleep, Sam Mounier gave Michel Gondry the idea for the film when Gondry asked the then 10-year-old Mounier to come up with a bed time story. Literally the next day, Gondry began writing the script.

Rough

It has been a rough past few days, I was supposed to go on set today again for the film I am interning on but it is my grandfather's funeral today so I am not going to miss that. I haven't been blogging much either which I apologize for. I should be back into my old routine of things again soon and I apologize for not being around much.

It Has Been Fun

It has been a whirlwind of a week that is for sure. From losing family to graduation to being on a multimillion dollar set things have been crazy. Today is really the first day in a little while I have had absolutely nothing going on and it is a little weird. My girl is out of town visiting her father and it seems like a lot of people are busy so I don't know what I am going to do today. I want to finish up Voicebox but at the same time I want to take a break from that. I also want to do some freelance work but haven't been having much luck landing a new gig for anyone. I have two music videos to do but I still have to formulate videos for them. So we will see where today goes....

Oh I was invited back on set for the big budget film I was on last Tuesday...it looks like this coming Tuesday I will be back in action helping out, this time up in Annapolis. I am excited and nervous as always but it seems like after this next day I will be on set a lot more which is pretty exciting! This is huge for my resume and for me!

Best Day Ever?

So I think it is safe to say that yesterday was the best day ever for my film career so far. I was an on set intern for the film Better Living Through Chemistry and I have to say it was amazing! I was at the place for call time at around 4:30 am and things started out all wrong for everyone, people weren't at the places they were supposed to be and not in the right locations it was all crazy to say the least. However after things got settled out it was just work time, I helped direct extras to the parking lot because they had close to 400 extras in one day which was insane! After I finally got to set at Druid Hill Park I was handing equipment off, talking to crew members, getting advice, and I got to see Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, and Michelle Monaghan who are all starring in the film! It was a long day since things didn't wrap until 8pm but it was a great day to say the least. It was all thanks to a recommendation from my awesome lighting professor Wade Tyree who I can't thank enough for providing me with this opportunity.
