Incase you were wondering what exactly I've been doing with my time since I disappeared and now, the answer is simple. I've been filming!
Yeah, I've been in Uni and taking the full course load, but what really is filling my time is that I have been working on several film projects. I was the Director of Photography (my expertise) on a 30 minute short film that finished production in mid July. Tomorrow we are doing re-shoots for one seen that just didn't come out the way we planned.
I've also agreed to be the first assistant camera on a short film that shoots in the beginning of September. Technically, this is below what I normally do. As a standard, I normally don't do this as you really can't advance in the industry when you take positions lower than what you have done and currently work as. However, I know several people on the film and it should be fun, so I decided that it was only for 5 days, and it should be fun.
I'm also shooting a music video in the first weekend of September for a Kiwi singer living in Oz trying to make it.
And the last thing on my calendar is the Toowoomba Film Shootout in October, where a team is given specific things that have to be in a film, and you then have 24 hours to shoot, edit in camera, and hand in. Should be a fun little exercise.
I'm a busy boy!
