watch it on vimeo right here: http://www.vimeo.com/3241886

hello all... i'm getting a late start, but i am now working on a short for lossfest.
it's called Take, and i can't wait to get it finished - hopefully in time for the deadline!

...thank you to all my friends who are helping me get this project done...

so far we've had only one evening of shooting, but it was rather productive.

good luck to all...

Welcome to the fray dude. It's not really last minute until it's the last week, so you got plenty of time.

good luck with the shoot.

Cool. Welcome to the fest. I'm trying to get my $h1t together for a last minute entry as well.

update: 2.23.09

dark days... absolutely nothing was accomplished over the weekend, and it's my fault. sure my weekend was busy with -among other things- family obligations and grocery shopping and hauling dirty clothes to the laundromat, but i could have found the time. i could have wrangled together the people i need to put a shoot together. i could have scouted locations, planned shoots, written.. something, anything would have been better than nothing.

why? i'm not sure, except that i feel myself losing the desire to finish. i feel like i'm wasting my time, not to mention the time of my friends who have agreed to help me.

i look at what i've done so far on this project, and i am easily discouraged. i know it could have been a lot better, and again, that's my fault. i know i've rushed, been under-prepared, and inexperienced, and i'm using this as an excuse to second-guess the entire thing. i tell myself i don't know what i'm doing, i'm going to embarass myself.

so now, monday morning, i'm wondering if i'll make any calls, set up any shoots, charge the batteries. i'm not sure.

i'm just not sure.
