Dropped off at camp VERY early. Arrived at 7:30 even though class starts at 9. So of course, being the prepared person I am, I brought my PSP along with a ROM of Random FireRed. And I mean TRUE Random. My Random Emerald only randomized starters and encounters, but FireRed? EVERYTHING is random. Random starters, random encounters, random trainer Pokémon, random trainer names and titles, even the LEGENDARIES are randomized. I mean I could see a sprite of Mewtwo in the final cave and it'll probably be replaced by a Seaking.
It's actually really awesome.

Got a lot of storyboarding done and we kind of know where we'll be filming. Lunchtime and I'm still working on the storyboard. Forgot my jacket and it's FREEZING out here. Damn it.
Note to self, never EVER forget your jacket, no matter how hot it is when I leave the class.

WE GOT TO FILM. We started right with the action scene since they were the easiest to do. Or so we thought.
They were DIFFICULT. Especially since we were laughing practically half of the time. But surprisingly, my group (which I thought was pretty bad yesterday) is actually pretty great. They really like my input and even though they're pretty goofy at times, it's fun.
And we got a decent chunk of the film done. The intro chase scene got almost-finished. We finished at a part where we THREW A BANANA AT ONE OF OUR ACTORS. Mind you that the actor we pegged was shirtless and the banana was a lot harder than we thought. We thought it'd just explode harmlessly.
It left a huge c-shaped red mark on his back and bounced off with a loud splish sound. It was gross. And painful-sounding.
Then, when I got home, I found that my package from Party City arrived, which is EPIC.

The green bubble thing at the top isn't exactly a prop, it's just the thing that cushioned all the props. Like bubble wrap, only bigger and probably more satisfying to pop.
But this green oversized bubble wrap ended up being useful as filling for the money bag.

Heck yeah. We're set for props. And almost set for actors too! Got a pretty reliable cast set up so far, the only thing we really need are extras to be grunts. But that shouldn't be much of a problem.
RFotD: Bananas, in the typical sense, originated from a single mutated plant. All yellow, curved bananas (named the Cavendish banana) are perfect clones of each other and thus, are very susceptible to rapid extinction due to no genetic diversity.
SGAT: MADE MOVIES. Finished a shooting plan for my own film and got props together.
Did you know the banana from before the 50s, (Gros Michel) became extinct due to a fungi? Now, the banana we have are under attack by a mutated form of said fungi.
ReplyDeleteOooh. I knew that the Gros Michel went extinct by a fungus, but I didn't know that a strain of the same fungus is attacking the Cavendish. Thanks, anon :D
