03.23.05once more with feelingMy directing class went pretty well today. We did read-thoughs of our final project scripts. I am afraid I get slightly frustrated when another member of my group tries to direct because I guess I feel it is my movie. I wrote it and I was planning to work alone, but he asked to join my group because he didn't have a script. I need to get over that a bit and keep everyone happy. If I try to command total control, there could be a revolt and that isn't good for anyone. Also, I ...

03.18.05still no screenplaySo, I still have a screenplay due Monday and nothing. Absolutely nothing. At least the screenplay is only about 10 pages or so (which isn't that much in screenplay format), but when you have no doable ideas, 10 pages is as much as 500 pages. A 500 page script would make a dang long movie. Our class is meeting with Seinfeld guy this afternoon. We are supposed to show him clips of some of the stuff we have done. I chose a minute clip from my music video. I still think it has some of ...
