Step Back for a Second

Hi there boys and girls. I really haven't posted anything in a while and I almost feel like it's my duty to update you on the state of things. I guess things are like this, the sun came up today and it will most definitely go down tonight, and the world will keep spinning. So I guess the state of things are status quo. I guess I really don't have anything important to say, and that seems quite strange because most of the things I have to say are quite important.

I guess something that is a little knew is the fact that I have recently just finished shooting my second short. It really seems quite strange to me because on some small and microscopic level I think that maybe just maybe I am in the beginning stages of being a filmmaker. Now by no means do I think that what I am doing is some sort of great art or anything special, but it has been special to me and that's enough. It really is crazy the difference that six months makes. Because six months ago when I tried to shoot this exact short everything was going wrong and I really had absolutely no vision of how to make it all work, so after I was done with what little of it that I did do it was just a couple of random scenes.

Now here it is six months later and I really wanted to shoot this short so I went after it again with more extensive notes from all of the movies that I had watched over that time period and we were able to knock out the complete shooting in two days. Now with all of that said I haven't even sat down to think about starting the editing process so when all is said and done the whole project could be complete shit. But if it is it's my shit and I put all that I had into it. I guess the whole point of me writing about any of this is to say that sometimes you have to step back from a situation, no matter what it may be to really get a clear sight of what is going on. It won't hurt you to take some time to think about what is really going on, as a matter of a fact it just might change everything completely. Any way I'm officially off of my soap box. but to the two people that actually read this, look for: Paper, Rock, Scissors on facebook and youtube cause its coming very soon. And if you haven't checked it out look for ponder high kick.
