Zachary Willard Film/Blender

 Progress Check As of now I've filmed everything required for my next film (I'm pretty sure). I've already been doing some editing along the way as I've gotten footage so I could make the work load more manageable. The hardest parts I see as I move forward are going to be making the music and there are three scenes that are completely in Blender. However, I definitely see this as being completable given the time I have remaining until the final product is due. What I've Learned If I'm going to act in a film I need a camera man. For this film the entire process, every scene, was just Chris and I. What that lead to is the process literally took twice as long if not longer because I would set up the shot, than focus, than press record, and for however long the shot was I would have to re-watch it again to make sure everything looked how I wanted it. The re-watching was the worst part because if I were behind the camera and I could see a take wasn't working out ...

 Script Shot List

 Writing I've continued to write scripts in order to gain as much experience writing as possible. Below are the first 9 pages of a script I've just started recently. I'm still continuing work on the one I showed you from last week. I'm also about to enter production on the drama I wrote titled: Dreams Do Die. My goal right now is just to get as much experience writing as possible. I once heard someone say that in order to get good at something you need around 1000 hours doing it. The way I see it, the more stuff I write, the better I will get at it. The stuff I write doesn't have to be good, I just have to constantly be exercising my writing muscles. Also I wanted to note that I don't plan on making the script below, I'm just writing for the sake of practice. 9 Pages of Script Mon - Worked on Drama script Tues - Nothing Wed - Finished Drama script Thurs - Shot list Fri - Shot list Sat - acted in a friend's film
