Quatorze: Can't eat if I'm not hungry

Look, it's hard enough being in control of my own life without having to tell others what to do.

We had another shoot tonight. I'm rather happy with the way things have worked out; though the lighting may seem rather inconsistent throughout the film, I feel it is within my abilities to fiddle with the brightness in post and get a desired consistency.

It was hard, tonight. It was one of the most difficult shoots to manage, because it involved more people than previous ones. It was me, Chris, Kyle, Ryan, and Emma, doing her first night on the set. Actually, it ended up being her only night on the set since we actually got all of her footage done. However, I didn't get anything from her in the way of featurette stuff, so maybe I'll hit her up for that later.

At the end of the night Kyle was gracious enough to provide rides home, much to the dismay of his stepfather. Chris gave me Doug's Dane Cook CD to return to him tomorrow. He was accurate in prophesizing that it'd be on my computer by the end of the night; I'm ripping it as we speak. What can I say? It's hilarious.

So tomorrow marks the end of the remarkable, storied, much beset-upon shooting phase of the movie, and Kyle and I have discussed options in terms of editing. He said he may work out with his parents a circumstance under which it'd be okay for me to be at his place without him there, so that'd be sweet. It's just weird to think about how after tomorrow I won't have to deal with the hassle of going out, pointing the camera at things and yelling "action."

I've got a lot of educational and professional stuff to deal with these days. I'm traipsing boldly into the future, an uncertain and very weird future. It's hard to believe, but less than 2 weeks from now I'll have attended my first college class. That's such an odd thought. Odd and terrifying.

But enough of that, I'm in a good mood for now, I'm actually getting some feeling of accomplishment lately, thanks to the movie business nearing completion; I can taste that last shot.

All right, keep on rockin
