We had a great session last week with Marco and the actors from Truthful Acting Studios. Many of you have expressed the value of these sessions, and I've made sure to pass on the thanks to them. I am also going to do whatever I can to recommend further collaboration with Truthful, hopefully to ensure future courses on directing are a valuable experience for students.
Good luck to Nathan, Jason, Justin Lance, Nick Izvernari and everyone working on their sets this weekend! Let's hope this streak of (mostly) good productions continues!
Happy rehearsals and locking down last minute details to Group D!
Group E - I look forward to seeing more completed notebooks from you all! Don't forget, I won't approve your equipment check-out unless all forms are fully filled out! Keep me posted if anything has changed on your productions, for better or worse.
NEXT WEEK:
Group A will be screening work! Everyone in Group A is required to show something as part of your grade. This can be a rough cut of your film or a longer scene. If you are not that far along, cut together all the dailies from a major scene in your film.
DELIVERY OF FOOTAGE:
The preferred delivery method is a private vimeo link that I can pull up in class. This wastes less materials and takes less time. If you upload to vimeo, please proof-watch your upload and email me the link and password by 9am on Wednesday. If you wish to bring a DVD to class, you may do so. DVDs will be due at class time, Noon.
No footage will be accepted late. "But it's just burning now! I'll have it in a few more minutes" - nope, I won't accept it.
As a class we will be providing feedback, so attendance is important for everyone (aside from being part of your grade)! The opportunity to give and receive feedback is one of the most valuable resources you have as a film student, so take it seriously and support your classmates' work.
For the next month, class time will be devoted to production updates and footage screenings. Though there will be no formal lectures or assignments, attendance is still required and recorded. Screening footage will be required for each group, as noted on the calendar. All group screenings are part of your overall grade.
