This was our instructor (I believe his name was Jim Chressanthis) he was very helpful and a good teacher. Here we are about to shoot a close up of a couple talking.

Aaaand action!

Here we are "slating" a scene thats about to be shot. The girl walks up to a guy thats sitting down and starts talking. The cool thing about it is that Kodak is going to process this and transfer it to DVD and we all get a copy to see what we shot and how good film looks compared to video.

Learning Film

Our AATON A-Minima 16mm with FUJINON zoom lens that we used to film our scenes. We had a 200 ft can (which went by really quick actually) and we learned alot about 16mm cameras and lenses and matte boxes and film... oh my!

THE PANEL SATURDAY

This is one of the panels that I went to today about "How to audition actors". A few of the directors of some of the features took questions and did some fake auditions with some actors that were there. The 2 on the right are the director (blue hat) of "The Unseen", Lisa France and the star, Phillip Block.

SIDEWALK

At the alabama theater on Saturday.

I worked all day today at the festival. We drove around in a golf cart carrying precious supplies, and cargo to our venues then we ate lunch and put up some posters. If I wasn't so tired all day, I would have had more fun, but I only got 4 hours sleep last night, but after my shift we got to see some movies. William showed up with Nathan, Chris and Joey. They had a great short in one of the "Alabama Shorts" blocks. Funny stuff guys!

Well, lotsa cool stuff happening today. I'm gonna shoot some film on a 16mm today thanx to Kodak and John C. Rielly is going to be here tonight to recieve an award of some kind... I'll try to get a paparratzi shot if I can.
